I had a great time during my taster session because I felt safe in the equiment and my instructor Ben gave me encouragement and the confidence to push myself a little bit further. At the end of the session I was very pleased with what I had achieved with Bens coaching. I would definitely recommend the taster session to my friends. Thanks Big Rock.

My son had his 18th Birthday Go-Karting yesterday (24/04/2021) Jacob is really unique- he has autism & is very particular about certain things. We were helped by Charlie who was simply amazing from start to finish. He helped organise, plan, prepare such a brilliant party. Even during the (end of thankfully) the covid pandemic we couldn’t have asked for more. The strict covid rules were applied at all times & the karting is of a real high standard. Jacob is absolutely beaming at coming first (obviously pre arranged) and spoke for the whole rest of the day about it. What an amazing experience- thank you Charlie & FF team. Five stars from us all!!

With a busy shop, membership club and monthly tour nights we are well worth a visit. Rebellion started brewing in 1993 in a small industrial unit in Marlow Bottom. In 1999 we moved to Bencombe Farm at the entrance to Marlow Bottom. We currently produce approximately 70,000 pints per week and you can find our beers in over 400 local pubs and clubs within a 30-mile radius of Marlow, in our brewery shop or in several local supermarkets and off-licenses. We have a busy brewery shop, selling our fresh beer in containers from 1 litre to 72 pints as well as over 300 varieties of wine and other local produce. Feel free to visit and have a browse...

Bucks County Museum

The County Museum, in the historic heart of Aylesbury, is a fascinating place to visit with an exciting programme of exhibitions and events for all ages.

Reviewed By earthtravelller

Visited the museum to see the World War 1 Hundred Hearts exhibition by the Embroiderers Guild which was amazing. This is the second of these 100 Hearts exhibitions I have visited and they are so well presented and the stories behind them thought provoking. The exhibition had its own room which provided a peaceful back drop to the display. The museum itself is in a lovely old building in the heart of old Aylesbury so it is well worth a walk around the immediate locality and church to appreciate the architecture. The rooms within the museum lend themselves to the display of different items and themes and there is also the Roald Dahl exhibition in an adjacent building so it is easy to while away an hour or two here. Staff were friendly and welcoming, there is a small cafe area and gift shop too.

Hughenden Manor

Reviewed By Solofromwoking - Woking, United Kingdom

Visited this National Trust property which used to belong to Disraeli. The house is interesting and the story of Disraeli's two faiths (Jewish & Christian) was interesting as was the use of the hosue during the second world war for creating target maps of Europe. The volunteer guides were knowledgeable, attentive and interesting. Well worth a visit.

Amersham Museum

Reviewed By McMahonSydney - London, United Kingdom

We stumbled across the museum by accident, and didn't really have any plans to go in, but the very friendly and welcoming staff enticed us to have a visit, and we were so glad we did! It turned out to be a very pleasant hour or so and one of the highlights of our stay in Amersham! The museum is very interesting - well laid out, informative, with a good balance of history, local insight and visual exhibits. There's some good stuff for children too. The building itself is very old and a story in itself. The best bit for me was the garden - I wasn't expecting one, but it is beautiful! Really nicely looked after and full of herbs, with a plenty of information boards describing the plants and what their medicinal benefits are. If you are ever in Amersham I would highly recommend a visit! I think all local museums would do well to visit the Amersham museum and take a leaf out of their book.

Bletchley Park

Bletchley Park, home of the WW2 Codebreakers, was once Britain's best kept secret and is now a vibrant heritage attraction open daily for visitors to learn how the Codebreakers' breath-taking achievements helped shorten WW2 by up to two years.

Bletchley Park contains a beautiful mansion house, park and lake. Also houses The National Museum of Computing. After the war, it was taken over as a Management Centre and my father was sent there - his office was on the first floor, front of the mansion house, just right of the main entrance. I myself attended a two-week training course there in 1961 so I know it of old and the present. In 2005 I attended a wedding there, the ceremony was held in the library and after in the dance hall. It is open every day. Special Note: Only assistance and guide dogs allowed in. Summer opening: (1 Mar – 31 Oct) From 09.30 to 17.00. Winter opening: (1 Nov – 28 Feb) From 09.30 to 16.00. Online advance prices: Adult – £19.00, Concessions – £16.60 Child 12 to 17 – £11.40 Under 12 – FREE Family Ticket – £49.40, 2 adult & 2 child under 17. On the day prices: Adult – £20.00, Concessions – £17.50 Child 12 to 17 – £12.00 Under 12 – FREE Family Ticket – £52.00, 2 adult & 2 child under 17. During WW2, in 1938, Winston Churchill chose Bletchley Park to be the home of Station X, housing code-breakers, the most famous being Alan Turin who set up the world's first programmable digital electronic computer called 'Colossus'. The scores of wooden 'Huts' that were built in the park, many of which are still standing house historical exhibits, including part of a rebuilt Colossus I was embarrassed to see an old mechanical adding machine on display that I used myself in the 1960s!

Milton Keynes Theatre

Reviewed By 28stever - Lincoln, United Kingdom

We recently went to see The Jersey boys at this lovely theatre. The show was fantastic music and songs very professional . The car parking in the multi-storey was excellently situated and very reasonable. However do be warned that the price of a small tub of icecream at £4.50 and a small wine served in a plastic container at £8.10 very expensive.
