Is your grandad a classic car enthusiast? Treat him to a lovely day out where he can enjoy a three-mile spin in the Shelby Cobra, Aston Martin DB5, Jaguar E-Type, Ford GT40, Mustang 350, Mini Cooper, or perhaps the MK1 Escort. When booking, he’ll have the choice to pick from a fantastic range of models and even upgrade his vehicle, venue or to a weekend date for an additional fee.

8. WW2 Spitfire and Messerschmitt Flight Simulator Experience for Two

Share this rare experience with your grandparent if you think they’d love the thrill of a WW2 Spitfire. This isn’t your standard arcade simulator game, but an actual replica of the Spitfire and Messerschmitt cockpits with responsive controls and high-tech graphics to fully reflect what it would be like to fly these incredible aircraft. This adventurous experience is a good choice for grandparents with limited mobility. 

9. One Night Glamping Break for Two

For grandparents who love to explore the outdoors but deserve a premium experience, a glamping experience gift is the way to go. With over 15 locations to choose from across the UK, they can enjoy a night of stargazing without the hassle of pitching a tent or worrying about the rain.

Who doesn’t love a Sunday Roast! And it’s even better when served at one of chef Gordan Ramsey’s iconic restaurants where they’ll enjoy a choice of chicken, pork and sirloin rare breed beef (vegan options are available) paired with seasonal sides, roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings and of course, plenty of gravy. Whether you share this experience for two with one of your grandparents or book it for them to share, this roast made with the finest regional produce is a sure hit. 

11. Shakespeare’s Globe Guided Tour for Two

If your grandparents are theatre enthusiasts, a guided tour of the historic Shakespeare's Globe is a great experience for them to share. The tour will really familiarise them with Shakespeare’s world, life, London and its theatre scene.
