Took my son today for a try shoot at Phoenix and am impressed with these guys from beginning to end Booked over the phone with ease, confirmation and receipt sent through within minutes Got there a little early, booked in for the shoot very easily and enjoyed a coffee in their gorgeous lounge whilst waiting. Glen, our instructor “collected” us from the lounge and along with 2 others in the group gave us a brief tour before going into the instruction room where he gave us an entertaining but very thorough briefing on the gun, shooting and all relevant safety procedures He was so good he even managed to keep a 12 year old boy engaged !!! The shooting lanes themselves are amazing, modern, clean and very safe. We’re so nice felt guilty leaving the spent casings on the floor when we left ! The shooting was great fun and am seriously considering joining long term Glen was fantastic, entertaining whilst making sure everyone was safe at all times, professional yet very helpful even when my lad decided to adult gun was too heavy just before we went down to the shooting lanes. He changed his gun without issue and “trained” him thoroughly Honestly can not recommend this place enough. If you fancy trying shooting or just want a bit of a different day out you will not be disappointed

Brilliant and friendly staff, also dog friendly, and classic outdoor games and smores around the fire to finish off.

My kids and wife bought me a 30 min flight experience at Britain’s. We went today and was really surprised that this was infact in a dining room! Don’t let that put you off though as the setup is first class. Dave was really friendly and clearly very passionate. A cup of coffee later and we were lined up at Manchester airport ready to go. I chose a short flight to Newcastle and off we went. Everything is so realistic, the controls, the noise and the graphics. 30 mins later I touched down safely! Brilliant experience and would highly recommend. Thanks Dave for a great afternoon.

We visited 2nd jan 2020, about 12.30pm the drown alarm went off and we saw a life guard pull an elderly lady out of the deep end. He dived back in to rescue his glasses. Miserable crowd didn’t clap (we started but no one joined in). We had a great time - 4 year old loves the waves, pirate ship and kids splash area. 6 year old loves going to the green striped slide with her 7 and 9 year old cousins. We arrived at 11 and although a queue to pay there was no queue to go into the pool. When we left at 1pm there was a small queue to get into the pool. You book in advance for a particular time but the prices are significantly more - see website.
