Activity Break FAQs

What is an activity break?

An activity break combines an overnight stay with a hands on experience, such as golf, survival and bushcraft, safari, gin making, vineyard tours, murder mystery evenings or a stadium tour. It is a great way to try something new rather than simply relaxing at a hotel.

Are activity breaks suitable for families?

Yes. Many activity breaks are designed with families in mind, including safari lodge stays, wigwam breaks and stadium tours for an adult and child, so there is plenty of choice whether you are travelling as a couple, a family or a small group.

Do I need any prior experience or fitness to take part?

Most activity breaks are designed to be accessible to beginners, whether that's golf, gin making or a guided tour, though more physical experiences such as survival camps or bear tracking may involve a reasonable level of fitness. Check the individual product page for any specific requirements before you book.

Can I buy an activity break as a gift?

Yes. Activity breaks make a memorable gift and come as a voucher, so the recipient can choose their own date, location and activity. You can also personalise the gift with a message or presentation box at checkout.
