Father’s Day takes place this year on Sunday June 17th, a date which is fast approaching! If you are stuck for gift ideas, have a look at our Visit Heritage recommendations for a day he’ll never forget.
For the car lover where better than a day out at the National Motor Museum. Located within the beautiful Beaulieu estate in Hampshire the museum is home to a fine collection of over 250 motor vehicles dating from 1875 through to the 2000’s. Amongst the exhibits are the famous “Bluebird” in which Donald Campbell set a new land speed record in 1964, and a caravan made entirely of Lego bricks!
For the sports enthusiast visit the National Football Museum in Manchester or the Cricket Museum at the historic Lords Cricket Ground in London. Belmont House in Kent was home to the 4th Lord Harris whom cricket connoisseurs will recognise as the captain of Kent cricket team for several years. He became England captain in 1878 and took a team to play Australia in what later became the Ashes Series. The ground has been recently restored and is open to visitors and available for hire by teams looking for a game on this historic pitch.
Arrange a round of golf or even a golfing weekend at the historic Woburn. Make sure to visit the house and grounds after a day on the course. There is plenty on offer in the wider estate including Leeds the safari park and sculpture gallery. Leeds Castle in Kent also has a range of golf gift packages available including coaching sessions with their PGA professional.
Experience days are becoming a popular choice for the thrill seeker. Goodwood has a large selection to choose from including track days, helicopter and plane experiences and hospitality packages at special events. Feed the giraffes, sea lions or parakeets with one of Longleat’s animal feeding experiences. Opt of the VIP experiences and you could find yourself up close to the big cats or gorillas, creating memories to last a lifetime.
Spa treatments have always been a great way to relax, so what better way to spend a weekend away than in a spa hotel. The Coniston Hotel and Spa is set in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales and as well as the spa facilities also offers a range of outdoor pursuits on the estate including shooting, 4x4 off-roading, Clay Pigeon Shooting and Fly Fishing.
The Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa is situated in secluded location so you can relax and unwind. The luxury spa includes seven treatment rooms and one double treatment room. Enjoy the saunarium, aromatherapy room, and monsoon shower or take a dip in the outdoor heated pool or hot tub.
Pubs, restaurants and other attractions often have free food, drink or entry for Dads on Fathers’ day so it’s worth having a look around to see what’s on offer in your area.
