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 pizza and wedges to nibble at.

- Cocktail ambassadors
- Welcome flavoured vodka shot
- History of the cocktail
- Bar tools and skills

- All guests shake up cocktails behind the bar including competition/games (each guest gets a minimum of 2 cocktails to make/drink)

Notes:
- With over 10 private party areas to choose from we can cater for all of your needs and are happy to create bespoke party packages for you!

Overview:
There's more to cocktail making than just pouring a few spirits in a glass and giving it a bit of a shake - enter the world of Mixology.

Mixology is an art: get it right and you can create delicious drinks which will be an explosion of pleasure on your tongue, but get it wrong and you'll be pulling pained faces and reaching for the mouthwash!

After a welcome drink 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 - where the word originates - and the tools and bar skills behind some of the world's most famous drinks. If you don't know the difference between a Hawthorn strainer and a Boston shaker, you'll find out.

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.

Your host will then demo a range of cocktails displaying all of the main cocktails styles and everyone will get behind the bar to create them themsleves including martinis, shaken drinks, layered drinks, mojitos and milky cocktails.

Guests will then be able to choose to make another cocktail of their choice either straight up or as a game/race/team competition or simply to relax and enjoy afterwards.

Finally, guests can leave with a bang as they enjoy a 'vodka train' cocktail domino rally as a farewell drink. All guests will also receive a Cocktail Master Cetificate plus the group leader will receive a keepsake complete with photos.

Duration:
1-2 hours. This may vary depending on the size of your group.

Overview:
Gorge scrambling involves exactly what it says on the tin. Grab your tin opener and what do you have? - yep, scrambling through gorges. A top activity for the adventurous who have harbored a fascination for clambering over rocks, climbing through wet crevices and jumping into plunge pools ever since they watched 'The Goonies' all those years ago. You'll need to have a basic level of fitness but the guide will look after you and tailor the activity to match the capabilities of the group, especially if some of the guys have beer bellies that have seen a 'truffle shuffle' or two.

Format:
You'll be kitted up by your instructors, who'll give you a thorough safety briefing. You'll then hit the start point, where, led by your instructors, you'll begin your ascent into the gorge. You'll find plenty of tricky terrain to traverse, along with rocky outcrops and plunge pools to jump into. Great fun.

Duration:
- Actual event lasts for 3 hours, travelling time is additional 1.5 hours (round-trip).  

Notes:
- A packed lunch for everybody can be included for £6.50.  (Recommended - needs to be pre-ordered)
- Every participant will need to submit a Health & Saftey form prior to the event and provide height and weight information several weeks in advance so appropiate wetsuits and kit can be put aside.  
- If there has been an abnormal amount of rain it is possible that the gorge could flood and the event not go ahead. Only a partial refund will be offered if the event is cancelled at late notice.

Overview:
Whatever the weather, outdoor karting is fantastic fun. If the weather is fine, the track will be quick. With two long straights you’ll pick up a lot of speed and the adrenaline will be racing as you fly past the opposition. If it’s wet things can get tricky and you’ll need all the skill you can muster to keep the kart on the track and out of the tyre barriers.

The Karts:
At 270cc they pack plenty of punch, sending you tearing around the course at over 40mph.

The Track:
Bigger is better. This is one of the largest tracks around. Been to those indoor tracks and thought "40mph, yeah right"? They're all corners and no straights. We've got just what you need - a really fast outdoor circuit.

Grand Prix:
This is the best event for competitive groups (or for those with an American golfer’s attitude to teamwork!). Each racer is on their own against the rest in a test of nerve and speed involving:
- Four 4-lap heats on the 450 m circuit for each driver.
- 6-lap semi final for every driver on the 850 m circuit with grid positions determined by the heats
- 10-lap final for the best eight drivers on the 850m circuit.

Notes:
- All protective equipment is provided
- Groups of 12 or more will receive exclusive track use
- Food is available on site
- Very popular so book early

Robin Hood was cool (no, not the Kevin Costner version) and William Tell was only a Granny Smith away from lodging an arrow through his son's noggin. With heroes like this in England's rich history who wouldn't want to pick up a bow and arrow, take aim and shoot 2 foot wide of the target to the heckling jeers of their compadres. With steady handedness a prerequisite, those who’ve had a heavy one the night before will be pulling their arrows from the dirt.

Luckily you'll have competition standard bows to use and instructors to help you to get to grips with them so you might just nail that bullseye. After a short practice it's competition time with the victor doubtlessly thrusting his bow skyward in jubilation, cheering and grunting like a Neanderthal who's just floored a Sabretooth on the hunt.

I'm-a Fiirin' My Laser!
Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting is an electronic way of enjoying traditional clay pigeon shooting. What a way to feel like a space-age country gentleman eh? Players use modified shotguns to fire laser beams at clays flying through the air launched from an electronic clay launcher. Its much like the real deal except there’s no kick off the guns. It’s also a bit more competitive as up to 5 people can shoot at one time and all shoot at the same target, whenever a trigger is pulled, the digital scoreboard generates the shotgun 'bang' and when a player hits the target it reproduces the sound of a breaking clay, the player with the highest number of hits wins!

A large scoreboard keeps the running score for each person. There are 4 or 5 different games to play, one is to award points for the first person to hit the clay, another is just points each when you hit the clays, another is 2 shots and points for hitting both or just one etc.

 
Included:

 - Laser clay session - this will last approximately 1-1.5 hours depending on the group's size.
 

Overview: 
Enjoy the mud and thunder of a thrilling off road quad biking session. If you like your activities rough and ready then this will be right up your street.

Set in the lovely Welsh countryside, this activity centre is the ideal place to learn the ins and outs in a safe environment. Once you have the basics mastered then the worlds your oyster and you can pick up the pace and really feel the need for speed.

Included:
- Great staff to ensure everyone can all learn at their own pace

Overview:
Ever fancied getting your hands on a shotgun, setting your sights down the shiny double-barrel and scratching that itchy trigger finger of yours?
The very sociable set up of the shoot means that there will be plenty of opportunity to comment, critique and even applaud your fellow competitors attempts, so it’s a particularly superb activity for drawing together groups where not everyone knows each other that well. By the end of the shoot, they’ll all be bonding down the pub over their sharp-eyed skills, or indeed lack of them, for those who are firing blanks

Clays is also a great leveller, so it’s perfect for groups where some are not the most active. 

Format:
You'll begin with five clays on a single incoming trap, the easiest, and then progress to crossing single, straight up and pairs.

Included:

All the equipment and tuition is included along with 25 clays per person.

Duration:
Allow approximately 2 hours for this event - (Obviously this varies according to your group size!)

Notes:
20-Bore shotguns can be requested (These produce much less recoil - perfect if anyone is worried about bruised shoulders) 

Overview:
This is the ideal event for those wanting to take advantage of some of the stunning scenery in the area.
 Most of the events will require teamwork and some encouragement - it's a great way for people who don't know many of the group to feel comfortable, as well as the old buddies sharing some incredible adrenaline rushes!
Pick any one of the events below and brace yourself for an active day.

Canyoning:
Canyoning is traveling in canyons using a variety of techniques. You will cover a distance of 4 km, descending 200m down waterfalls and rapids, abseiling, scrambling, swimming and jumping, the highest jump being 30ft! This is a high adrenaline activity ideal for adventurous groups with a taste for challenging physical activities.

White Water Rafting:
Wales offers some challenging grade 3 rapids up to 10km in length. Each raft will have an expert instructor to help you navigate your way and try to keep you inside the raft for as long as possible.

Coasteering:
Very similar to Canyoning but the trick's in the name. Rather than traversing your way through a canyon, this is done on the coast where you have to make your way around the coastline by any means possible. You'll be climbing, scrambling, jumping and swimming throughout the event.

Duration:
- The events all run from 10am - 2pm

Upgrade:
- Those that have either Canyoning or Rafting before or are looking for something more extreme, both can be upgraded to more challenging courses. The event will run from 10am - 4pm on these upgraded event. If you're interested, please ask for details.

Notes:
- A DVD video of your day is provided after the activity for free
- You will get wet. Wear old clothes that can get wet and dirty. Pack dry clothes for the journey home.
- Personalised printed rash tops can be arranged for an additional cost, please ask for details.
- There are a number of different locations used, all within the Brecon beacons, that offer stunning surroundings.

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.

 

Quad Biking:
Enjoy the mud and thunder of a thrilling 1/2 mile track quad biking session. If you like your activities rough and ready then this will be right up your dirt track. The quads are a step up from the ones on offer at most activity centres. You won't be piddling about on slow automatics here; you'll be introduced to anything up to 200cc quads. You'll pick up cheek rippling speed as you speed round this track. When this gets rough there are more bumps and humps than a pool party at the Playboy mansion. Only real men can handle them so if you have any weaklings in your group you better book them a double archery session. 

High Ropes:
Climbing, scrambling and swinging like a monkey is instinctive to every man. As we all know, you should always follow your instincts, and what better way get in touch with your inner chimp than by spending an afternoon on the high ropes? You'll get to climb ropes, hurtle down the 200 foot zip slide, balance accross tight ropes, scale the climbing tower, abseil, walk the beams and test yourself in a plethora of challenges 40 foot above terra firma. Even if you're not particularly agile, all is not lost, as there are courses set for climbers of all abilities.
Leave the vertigo at home: this'll sort out the Tarzans from the Janes.

Duration:
3 hours

 

Overview:
It's very hard to beat a good day at the races and if you win, it's even better.

The atmosphere at a race track is always amazing whether you're dressed in your Sunday best in the members' enclosure sipping bubbly or staying casual and snacking on hotdogs all day.

Those that think they know a thing or two can study the form and chew their pencils whilst the others can pick on the funniest name or the best coloured silks. Horse racing covers all the bases and has something for everyone.

Includes:
 - Ticket entry to the races

Overview:
White water surf rafting is becoming increasingly popular due to the excellent conditions created in the sea for an exciting and fast paced rafting experience.

Once you've got kitted out with a wetsuit and surfboard you'll be given an introduction to water safety and beach awareness. Remember the ocean can be a cruel mistress. Under the guidance of fully qualified experts you'll hit the water, at first learning how to trim and ride a board lying down.

After some practice, and no doubt swallowing several litres of sea water, even the most uncoordinated of your group will be jumping up and riding the waves by the end of the session... hopefully.

Surfers of all abilities are catered for so regardless of whether you fancy yourself as a Point Break Swayze or haven't been in the sea since a traumatic primary school swimming pool incident, the instructors will be on hand to make sure that everyone has a top time.
