Overview:
If you’re looking for an activity to make the weekend memorable, or something to bring together a group of girls who don’t all know each other , then cocktail making, or mixology as it’s called, is the perfect solution.

Experienced, professional and friendly mixologists will take you step by step through the history of cocktails and then show you how to make three of the classics, before handing you the bottles and letting your imagination and creativity run wild.

As you experiment under expert guidance as to what works and what doesn’t, you’ll start to appreciate a whole new art form and most excitingly develop skills which you can then hone with friends and family in the years to come.

Format:
Each group will have one or more cocktail ambassadors who will brief you on the day's activities before giving a short introductory talk on the history of the cocktail and the origin of the word. Each member of your group will then be given a bar tool which they will have to try to identify before putting the tools in the correct order of use when making a cocktail.

The ambassador will then make an introduction shot for the group where he/she will explain what all of the bar tools are used for. If you don't know the difference between a Hawthorn strainer and a Boston shaker, you'll find out.

Everyone then makes lemonade using real lemons, gomme and soda water, and you'll learn about how to perfectly balance sweet and sour. You'll use your lemonade to make a Raspberry Vodka Collins and a Passion Fruit Krushka.

You'll then be talked through the history of, and taught how to make a Mojito/Bison Grass Mojito, a Pear Caipirowska, a Cosmopolitan and a White Russian/Bride. Then it'll be your turn to show off your cocktail skills by going head to head with another member of your group in a shake off where you'll each make one of the cocktails.

The event will end with a mini quiz with two free cocktail vouchers each on offer for the winning team. To soak up some of the alcohol, your group will also have a couple of food platters to nibble at, with a wide variety of food.

Overview:
Looking for something different to do with the team? We challenge you to throw down the gauntlet with a head to head challenge over this assault course. We think it's the most demanding assault course in Nottingham.

Set across two acres, the assault course has all the usual suspects: the scramble net, Burma bridge, rope swings, a steep wall and much more. Each member of the team must complete each element of the assault course before the rest of the team can move on.

Easy you say? Well, maybe for you, but each obstacle challenges a different fear: a tight space, a blacked-out hole, a high wall or a wide ravine to swing over. There will be at least one, if not more in your team who will need your support and encouragement somewhere on their way through the assault course!

The course is designed to test you mentally and physically as well as test your ability to work together as a part of a team. It's an incredibly rewarding way of getting dirty.

Included:
- Safety briefing
- Instructors
- Overalls

Duration:
Approximately 1 hour.

 

 

Overview:
Gentlemen start your engines! Go full throttle around the David Brabham-designed karting circuit which will test drivers of all abilities, especially if it's raining! 

Once you've donned your freshly laundered Sparco race suits, balaclavas and helmets and have had a safety briefing from one of the race directors, you'll be let loose behind the wheel of a 200cc Honda kart. 

The 450m circuit features long straights, hairpins, chicanes and a lengthy tunnel. Master the circuit early on and you could challenge Eddie Irvine's track record; get it wrong and you could be clocking times that would embarrass your mum.

Overview:
Get high in the forest with a thrilling high ropes session. Set deep in the Moor Valley this is a brilliant setting for you to face your fears and swing through the trees like Tarzan.

After being kitted out in all of the essential equipment and a full safety briefing from the instructors, it'll be time to head for the trees. You'll tackle a course of over 30 hanging rope bridges, scramble nets and zip slides which are up to 30ft off the forest floor. You can also have a go on one of the few tree zip lines in the country.

If you are a bit nervous about heights our advice is simple; clear your mind and focus on what is in front of you. Whatever you do don't think about slipping over and you falling head first to your death*. 

Included:
- Briefing and guidance from qualified instructors
- All safety equipment

*This won't happen as you'll be attached by a safety harness at all times so at worst you'll swing in the air for a few seconds before being pulled to safety. Mong.
