A fantastic day out enjoying the Hawk and Owl encounter. A beautiful place in a fantastic location and an unforgettable experience with friendly knowledgeable staff Jo and Emily getting to meet lots of beautiful birds of prey and getting to fly 5 different kinds of them. The centre also does lots of well needed conservation work with wild birds of prey too. Would highly recommend and am definitely planning a return visit.

All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Felt welcome as soon as I entered. Both the main climbing area and the bouldering area and a great selection of route choices and made for a great couple of hours. Will certainly be coming again.

been to Northampton rooms today and done molten creek mine with a group of friend, and yes we manage to escape just in 57.35 and came out rather dusty especially one friend who had dust all down her back but what mines aren’t so added to the atmosphere to make it all the more fun, so make sure to wear old clothes, Dan our host was brilliant very friendly from the moment we arrived to leaving, done a great intro and also gave a few helpful hints when most needed, and took photos with all our phones at the end for us, so thank you Dan for being a great host

Trapp’d is a brand new real life adventure game and a new member to the escape room craze which has taken the world by storm. We trap a small group of people inside one of our amazing themed rooms with the very simple task - escape within 60 minutes or face being trapp’d forever!

Did an online game today - absolutely great fun - the room was interesting and a reasonable challenge - as best as can be via zoom, Sophie our virtual host was fun, chatty and made the experience even better. I can't recommend this or the other online trapp'd rooms enough.

We went here after seeing it advertised on fb, great day out and all for the cost of parking, which is cash only but you can pay at the counter in the gift shop by card before 5pm. (£5.60) We took a picnic, enjoyed a walk with a stop at the assault course which the kids loved then a stroll back to the park which includes a water area so pack towels and costumes as I didn’t know about this area so the kids went in their underwear. After lunch went for another stroll and came across another assortment of activities that the kids enjoyed they was tired at the end of the day but a brilliant day out. Their is a cafe on site if you wish to eat their or enjoy a coffee outside on the decking over the lake. Great for all ages, will defo be visiting again!

Having been underwhelmed by several local National Trust properties, we visited this privately owned estate. Wow! totally blown away, so much to see and do - the chilli collection alone is worth coming for, who knew there were so many varieties of chilli peppers! And the little zoo - where you really can get up close and personal to the animals, who, by the way, all look really well cared for. The gardens are just beautiful - varying from the manicured to the wild. And, unlike some properties, there are no signs up telling you not to do this and that, you are free to wander and discover the beauty of this place. It's the kind of place you could come back to repeatedly and still find something different. We absolutely loved it.
