Christmas Gifts & Experiences
Christmas shopping is often a stressful experience, and many of us leave it until the last moment (ie Christmas Eve!) But with Experience Days Pro's fantastic choice of experience days, finding that ideal Christmas gift has never simpler.
Whoever you're finding a Christmas present for and regardless of their age, hobbies or where they live in the UK, we can find an experience day which will surprise and thrill them.
An experience day is so much more memorable than the typical socks and perfume packages that you find on the high street. Some of the popular Christmas gift experiences that we can provide include:
Flying Experiences
Rise to the occasion this Christmas and surprise them with a hot air balloon ride! Taking place in the morning or evening from April to the end of October, a balloon ride is a majestic experience and is perfect for couples and families.
Popular locations for hot air ballooning include Hampshire, Kent, Sussex, Devon, Lincolnshire, Northumberland, Oxfordshire and the Scottish Borders to name but a few examples.
With hundreds of launch sites and the opportunity to bring along spectators, it's the perfect day out. Find out more information on our
Hot Air Balloon Rides page.
Experience Days Pro also offers a large choice of
Helicopter Lessons & Rides from airfields in England, Wales and Scotland.
Many helicopter schools operate all year round (subject to weather conditions) and could include a 20 minute, 30 minute or 60 minute Fly a Helicopter lesson for that special someone. With friendly and experienced instructors, they'll get to experience a hover challenge.
Alternatively they can enjoy fantastic helicopters across famous British cities like London, Manchester, Liverpool and Blackpool. They'll always gain an unique perspective from the air.
For the fearless and adrenaline seeking individuals that you know and love, why not consider the ultimate thrill of
Skydives or a
Bungee Jump - using the latest safety equipment and expert tuition, it's a truly memorable experience.
Driving Experiences
If a friend, family member, or work colleague loves driving, then spoil them this Christmas with a gift for an exhilarating driving experience.

Water Sports & Boating
Whether it's sailing the seven seas or just messing around in a river or lake, water sports activities make fantastic Christmas gifts and are sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face.
The need for speed and excitement can be fulfilled with
Powerboat Experiences - no need to wait for the wind, just hear the roar of the engine, as the powerboat makes exciting jumps and sharp turns.
For something truly wet and wild, why not treat them to
Flyboarding and Jetlev Experience - strapped onto a board, bike or jetpack, they'll be hovering above the water via powerful water jets.
For something a little more relaxing but as rewarding, they can partake in Royal Yachting Association courses for
Yachting and Sailing - they'll be taught by experienced instructors in a range of dinghies and boats.
Some courses take up to 2 days from 09:30 to 17:00, making it the perfect opportunity to visit popular marinas such as Brighton, Southampton and Pool Harbour in Dorset. Upon completion, the participant can feel proud of their RYA Level 1 sailing qualification where applicable.
Advice When Buying Experience Days As Christmas Gifts
When purchasing an experience day as a Christmas present there are factors that you should take into consideration.
Health & Age Requirements
Many experiences have minimum age requirements, so if you're looking for junior experience days, be sure to mention their age first.
Most activities do not have an upper age limit but a doctor's certificate is required for the more adventurous activities such as skydiving or bungee jumping. The participant should be in good health but we're not expecting them to be fitness fanatics!
Height and weight restrictions are appliance for some outdoor events, so please mention this if you have any concerns with our friendly team.
Driving Experiences
Driving a car requires a full driving license but junior driving experiences and lessons can be offered at some venues. Alternatively they can participate in thrilling passenger rides with experienced drivers.
Experience Day Locations
Experience days do take place throughout the UK but certain activities are restricted to certain venues due to the facilities, training or equipment required.
Of course you shouldn't rule these experiences out - it will make a great day out with many of the venues being near popular cities and towns with local attractions and amenities.
Don't Spoil The Surprise!
If you're purchasing an experience for a relative or loved one and they might answer the phone when we call you back, make sure you mention this in the enquiry so that we don't give the game away.
