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:
Saddle up for a day of outdoor action at one of the UK's best activity centres. Based in Sheffield, the site offers pretty much everything that a high octane weekend could possibly need. If you can't find something here that pushes your buttons then you'd better check for a pulse!

Choose 3 of the activities listed below:

Rage Buggy Racing:
Burn rubber behind the wheel of a feisty rage buggy. The 614cc buggies are capable of speeds in excess of 60mph and come equipped with a full suspension system and roll cage so put the pedal to the metal and have your mates eating your dirt!

After getting kitted out in all of the relevant equipment and having a safety briefing from a instructors, you'll kit the track. You'll race in a team relay format with one kart on the track whilst the other is in the pits.

You'll be racing against each other and against the clock and each driver will complete between 10 and 12 laps of the track. The buggies provide a truly exhilarating ride and once you put your foot to the floor you'll be pinned to your seat with the adrenaline pumping!

Hovercrafts:
Like steering a large bar of soap over an expanse of clingfilm, these speedy crafts are enormous fun to drive erratically. Initial control can be hilariously tricky and the craft can seem to have a mind of its own.

The trick is to crank up power and use your thrust, rudder and body weight to regain control before you say hello to a tree and get a face full of bark.

With impressive ground clearance there's plenty of opportunity to experience the frictionless fun of these nifty vehicles. 

Quad Trekking:
Enjoy the mud and thunder of a high octane quad biking session.

After a safety briefing from the instructors you will jump on board the quads and have 3 laps of the practice track to familiarise yourself with the bikes. Once the instructor is happy that everyone is up to speed, you'll head out in groups of 4 on a challenging trek through woodland, steep inclines and water hazards.

The 125cc quads are capable of speeds of up to 45 mph and each rider will get around 25 minutes on the quads which is more than enough time to open up the throttles and leave your mates trailing in your wake.

Mini Quads:
Have a short guy in your group? Mini quads is a great way for you to constantly tell him that he looks normal on it as you all have your knees up near your ears.

Like some type of circus routine, this is both extreme and loads of fun.


4x4 Off Road Driving:
Career across the countryside behind the wheel of a powerful 4x4 vehicle. If the closest you've come to going off road is losing control of your car and ending up in a ditch down a country lane, get behind the wheel and go full throttle.

Your experienced instructor will give you a full safety briefing and brief demonstration before letting you loose behind the wheel of a Land Rover Discovery. You'll drive in groups of 4, with everyone getting just over 10 minutes behind the wheel.

If you've never driven anything more powerful than a Fiat Panda, expect to have your driving skills pushed to the limit as you drive a through a testing course of steep slopes, water, banks and tight turns. There are poles to avoid on either side of the course, so keep your eyes on the track, listen carefully to the instructor and avoid racking up the penalties!

Blindfold Driving:
Blind people have been banned from driving since the 1950s. Frankly, they were a hazard on the road and caused an unbelievable number of accidents. However, on private land, under the guidance of expert instructors, it's perfectly legal to drive even if you can't see!

In groups of 4 you'll jump behind the wheel of a Land Rover Discovery and take it in turns to don a blindfold and have a go at navigating around the tricky off road course. Each person will get just over 10 minutes behind the wheel.

If you've been accused of being a backseat driver in the past, you'll be able to put those skills to good use. The driver will be totally disorientated so it's up to the rest of the team to direct. However this is easier said than done as helpful words like 'left', 'right', and 'stop' will be banned and replaced with other less obvious monikers. However it's fair to say if your friends start screaming, it's probably time to hit the brakes!

Can you make it around the course without flattening any of the circuit markers?

Powerturn Buggies:
The powerturn is a type of vehicle providing maximum fun with maximum safety. It's two drive wheels are powered at different speeds by two engines to make the Powerturn turn.

With independent front suspension and two Honda 6.5 HP Engines (200cc each), disc brakes, torque converter drive, this whacky vehicle can do well over 30mph, then flip into 360 degree ‘wheelie’ spins.


Archery, Crossbow Shooting or Target Shooting:
You may be handy with a gun, but how accurate will your shooting be with more traditional weapons? You'll find out in this archery and crossbows session.

You'll be armed with a longbow and under the watchful eye of a qualified instructor you'll be taught all of the tricks of the trade. If you've got good hand-eye coordination and a keen eye you'll hopefully be able to nail a few bull's eyes. If, however, you're lacking in both departments, just make sure there's nobody within 50ft of the target!

You fire off a few practice arrows so everyone has a chance to get their eyes in, after which you'll go head-to-head in a 6 arrow shootout.

If archery isn't violent enough for you then a crossbow shooting session should fit the bill. Crossbows are serious weapons and have the potential to do a lot of damage, so no messing around!

After a safety briefing, the instructors will give you a crash course in how to handle the crossbow, after which you'll be let loose with the weapon. You'll be firing solid bolts at targets, so imagine you're aiming at your most hated enemy and blast him/her into the middle of next week!

Included:
- Safety briefing
- Instructors
- All equipment

Duration:
Each activity will last just 45 minute to 1 hour

Notes:
- Start times are at either 10am or 1pm
- Groups over 10 will be split into teams and will rotate through the activities.

Vineyards and Vino:
Life is for celebrating and by choosing wine tasting for your hen or stag party, you can celebrate in style and emerge a wine connoisseur able to show off a completely different knowledge to a heavy body and thinner legs.

Wine tasting can help you to identify your Bollinger from your Babycham and have you swirling, sniffing and spitting wine with the best of them.

Technically speaking, wine tasting is the sensory examination and evaluation of the wonderful grapey drink. However you put it, studying one of the finer things in life in a beautiful English vineyard is a fool proof way of having a fantastic hen or stag party.

The location:
This gorgeous 4 acre vineyard lies on a south facing slopes just 3 miles from the Nottinghamshire/Leicestershire border.

What it includes:
A vineyard tour, winery talk and wine tasting's.

Minimum numbers:
8 people

Duration:
The tour can take up to 2 hours

Overview:
A treasure hunt is excellent fun if you are looking for something entertaining to do during the day which will get all your party involved and working together. We can arrange pre-set treasure hunts through all the UK's major towns, which involve approximately 40 questions, the answers of which are gained as you walk along your route through some of the most scenic and interesting parts of the town. A treasure hunt is a great way of getting to know the city and also find out some interesting information that you would never have guessed unless you had taken part!

Format:
You will need to appoint one of your member as 'hunt master'. They will decide how to split up the group into teams and will hold the answers to the questions. The routes are circular, so you will always end up at your start point and it is best if you arrange a set finish time when all the teams have to be back at the start point to hand in their answers. It's recommended for the group leader to then take all the group to a nearby bar, where you can read out the answers, mark off the score cards (this is best done by getting teams to swap question papers and score while the hunt master reads out the answers) and then distribute any prizes (or penalties!) the hunt master has set for the occasion.

What’s Included:
- Personalised pack (please let us know the stag/hen's name)
- 5 printed clue sets (suitable for up to 40 people)
- Approximately 40 questions per clue set, following a pre-set route.
- 1 set of answers for the hunt organiser.

Duration:
The treasure hunts will take approximately 2 hours to complete and are designed to be undertaken on foot.

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.
