Flying Experiences in Scotland

In Scotland you can take part in a helicopter experience that involves a flying lesson and tour of the hangers as well as lunch. This four-hour experience would be ideal for someone dreaming of becoming a helicopter pilot one day. Alternatively you could experience the thrill of a short 15-minute ride in a luxurious helicopter over stunning Scottish scenery.

If you would prefer to fly a fixed wing aircraft over the Highlands and Islands of Scotland then you could choose a 60-minute introductory flying lesson. Take the controls of a small aircraft while being supervised by an experienced expert and learn some basic flying skills. Alternatively, why not take a flight with an experienced instructor on a microlight. This highly maneuverable craft can add a different dimension to your flight over Scotland.

Taking a hot air balloon ride over beautiful Scotland would be another way of experiencing this country's tranquility at a slower pace. While floating over the lochs and glens enjoy a glass of bubbly high in the sky. The 360-degree visibility will certainly enhance the overall flying experience that you could appreciate together with another special person.

3rd time lucky

After 2 attempts in the summer, cancelled due to poor weather conditions, it was 3rd time lucky. The staff were very friendly and helpful on all occasions, and apologetic when cancelled. The flight was smooth and interesting, going over the sea, over a castle and grounds etc. About 15 minutes into the flight, you take over the controls, under the guidance of the pilot.

Excellent afternoon tea

We have just enjoyed an excellent prosecco afternoon tea at the Swan at Hay Hotel, Hay-on-Wye. Simple, non-fussy finger sandwiches, lovely scones, Welsh Cakes, Bara Brith, chicolate brownies, and lemon drizzle cake along with a large pot of tea. The surroundings are beautiful and the staff are lovely.
Happy Birthday Experience Gift Voucher

Fantastic show

My friends bought me a theatre voucher for my 60th birthday. Although the choice of shows is limited, there were plenty that we wanted to see. The main problem was that we can only go to London on Saturdays and, as you would expect, most of the shows were sold out. The price to upgrade to extend the tickets was crazy so in the end we plumped for Wicked as it was the only show with seats available. Similarly the only seats you could buy with the voucher we had were literally the furthest possible from the stage, and again the price to upgrade was crazy. However we could still see and definitely hear everything. The show itself was incredible- the theatre front of house staff were all lovely and very welcoming and the show was phenomenal. A fantastic gift!!
