| "30 Minute Meerkat Experience - Oxfordshire" |
| "Animal Experience Days: The mischievous little creatures are seemingly everywhere these
days, and we just can't get enough of them! If you're looking for
the perfect experience gift for an animal lover, you really needn't
look any further - this meet and greet the meerkats experience in
Oxford allows you to get up close and personal with some truly
fascinating critters, for a full half hour.
Upon arriving at the Oxford-based wildlife and bird of prey
centre, you'll be warmly welcomed by your keeper and given a brief
safety talk, before preparing some tasty treats for your new
friends. You'll then enter the enclosure, and be introduced to
Ginger and Tom, the centre's resident meerkats. Armed with your own
feeding bowl, you'll soon be closely aquainted with the cheeky pair
and they'll be helping themselves to snacks from your lap. For half
an hour, you'll be able to observe first hand, the unique behaviors
that make these animals so recognisable. Your knowledgeable keeper
will be able to provide you with some interesting insights into
their natural habitats and behaviours, and will be happy to answer
any questions you may have. And as if this immersive hands-on
wildlife experience was not enough, you'll also receive free entry
to the entire birds of prey centre, where you can spend the
remainder of the day admiring the power and grace of some of
Britain's best loved raptors - the flying displays are sure to keep
you busy for the rest of the afternoon.
For any avid animal fan, this 30 minute meerkat experience is a

| "Beekeeping Experience in Shropshire" |
| "Bee Keeping Experience Days: This beekeeping introduction at the lovely Tiger Hall in
Shropshire is a genuinely marvellous experience, and a really
superb insight into the mysterious and fascinating world of
beekeeping. You’ll spend a whole day at Tiger Hall with a
professional beekeeper, who will show you the ropes and tell you
the secrets of beekeeping… well some of them, anyway!
There are not so many beekeepers in the world. It’s one of life’s
little jokes that human beings love honey so very, very much - but
are often deathly afraid of bees. But the few who choose to work
with these fascinating creatures every day, to walk among them and
actually have the nerve to take their honey know that bees are not
as scary as you might think (and definitely not when you are fully
kitted out in a totally protective suit, which you of course will
be!). Your beekeeper guide will tell you all sorts of fascinating
things about bees, and you’ll learn just how important they are -
not just for their sweet, yummy honey, but also for their amazing
work ethic - they are actually responsible for pollinating around
1/6th of all the flowers in the world. During the day you’ll get up
close and personal, with the rare opportunity to inspect a real,
working beehive. You’ll also learn what to plant in your garden to
attract more bees, which you will certainly want to do after this
experience - and if all that weren’t enough, the icing on the cake
(or is it honey on the toast in this case?) is that you’ll get to
leave with a gift pack of honey from Tiger Hall.
This beekeeping experience is a really unusual and very interesting
day, and if you’re looking for a really fantastic gift for someone
who loves nature, honey, or just trying new things; this day at
Tiger Hall just couldn’t be sweeter."

| "Bristol Brewery Experience" |
| "Brewery Experience Days: Calling all Bristol based beer lovers! This brewery experience gives you a special behind-the-scenes look at everything that happens to get that sweet amber nectar into the bottle - and the chance to learn a few tricks of the trade while you're at it. If you're interested in learning more about the beer making process, from barley to bottle, this might just be the experience for you. The day begins with a drink at the Bristol Brewhouse and Kitchen - a hot drink (it's only 10am, but beer o'clock is just around the corner!) and an introduction to the day, then it's time to get to work and do some mashing in - mixing the crushed grains with hot water. After mashing in you'll be treated to tasting your first beer (or 5!), a bacon roll and a discussion about what's actually happening to the mixture in the mash tun. Next up, with beer in hand, is the transfer, re-circ and sparge (don't worry, these will all be explained to you by the brewer!), then digging out the mash tun and starting the boil. This takes you up to lunch time. Lunch is provided in the pub, and you'll be glad to know it's definitely beer o'clock...again! After lunch, you'll get back to work. You'll add more hops to the mixture, as well as kettle finings, which make sure the finished product is nice and clear. Now all there is to do is transfer the brewing beer to the fermenter, where it will stay until it's ready for drinking. Throughout the day, you'll get the chance to taste a range of unique Brewhouse and Kitchen craft beers and ales, with tasting guidance from your expert brewer, and of course your glass will remain topped up, throughout the day. Upon leaving, you will receive a certificate and a 5L mini-keg of brewed beer (valued at £25) to take home on the day. Alternatively if you would like to take your own brewed beer home, then the beer will need time to ferment so the keg will be ready for collection 2 weeks after the experience day. If you love the taste of a crisp, cold beer but you have no idea how it's made, you've always dreamed of making your own home brew, or you're looking for the perfect experience gift for someone who enjoys their pint, this full day brewery experience in Bristol is a great introduction to the brewing process. Bottoms up!"
