“Fathers 80th birthday surprise!!!”
Written on: 24/05/2013 by RobertSmith66
Using red letter days to arrange a special treat for my fathers 80th birthday was so easy. Knowing that we wanted some sort of flying experience for him to enjoy, we were spoilt for choice for the type of experience to the location where it could happen. Eventually deciding on a by plane flight (a childhood dream)that was just a short drive away from where we lived. The whole day went perfect from the initial contact to book the day to the flight itself. Red Letter Days definitely exceeded... (read more)

“Tea Tasting at the Langham”
Written on: 24/05/2013
I had a really enjoyable afternoon. The talk was both informative and lively. He had an engaging personality. We learnt about the history of tea, the styles of tea and tasted 20 varieties. Taiwanese Oolong was my favourite and it became the base for my own blend. The afternoon was present from a friend and what a treat it was! I shall now offer it as a gift for members of my family and look to see what other delights RedLetter Days can provide. (read more)

“Excellent value treat”
Written on: 23/05/2013
Booked this hotel break as a birthday present. Stayed at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Marlow. Had a lovely spacious and well equipped room with everything we needed including a huge TV. Lots to see and explore in the area. Hotel is set in attractive grounds backing on to a lake where there was water skiing to watch. The only slightly offputting part is having to go through an industrial estate to reach the hotel, but it's well worth it when you arrive. (read more)

“the only way to update your wardrobe”
Written on: 23/05/2013
I enjoyed my first Personal Shopper experience so much that I asked my husband to give me the second one for Christmas - and it didn't disappoint! The advisor from House of Fraser was very helpful; while I sat in the very comfortable Fitting Suite enjoying tea & cake she trawled the various departments resulting in a clothes-rail brimming with items to try on. I ended up buying 3 dresses, a pair of trousers and a couple of tops which will form the basis of my summer wardrobe. On both... (read more)

“Taster Lunch at Claridges with Chanpagne”
Written on: 22/05/2013 by TeresaTalbot (1 review written)
We had a very special day at Gordon Ramsays at Claridges, for a 4 course taster lunch with champagne. The food was beautiful, very cheffy but really tasty and surprisingly filling, as the food doesn't' exactly fill the plate. It was nice to experience such beautifully cooked and well presented food. Even though it said 4 courses the two palate cleansers were in addition, a soup and an extra desert. You had a choice of three dishes for starter, main and dessert. Also they offered you...

“Great location and view of the castle.”
Written on: 22/05/2013 by Marigold5 (1 review written)
We had a huge afternoon tea served by friendly and courteous waiting staff. It was a particularly busy time as every table was full with groups having a late lunch. We were seated in a large banquette area away from the crowd and were looked after very speedily and very well. We had a close view of Windsor Castle out of the window. The sandwiches were good as were the little fancies and to finish it off two large scones each with jam and cream. Would recommend. (read more)

Had a fantastic day out and staff were extremely helpful. Living close to Falkirk this was something that I never thought about doing until I got a gift card given to me. Now I've told all my friends to go and experience it for themselves. Anybody that loves engineering would also love this, but it's just not for technically minded people as there is so much history behind it as well. overall this was a good day out for the family as there is also a play park, ice-cream and burger vans on...

What a superb day out - admittedly upon first arrival the setup is a little confusing, but once the format of the day has been explained it runs smoothly and quickly. I had both of my drives within 90 minutes of my arrival, and there's plenty to look at and do while waiting. Staff were helpful at all times, with plenty of them about to ensure smooth running of the day. As for the experience itself, it exceeded all my expectations - totally exhilarating and unbelievably fun. The instructors... (read more)

“Dinner for two at Petrus ”
Written on: 22/05/2013 by thekingofknightsbridge (1 review written)
On arrival we were greeted with a glass of champagne that slid down our necks with effervescent ease. The waiters all spoke English with an authentic French lick on the R's and were on hand to answer our every need in the blink of an eye. The food was elegantly presented and, more crucially, darn tasty. We purchased a fine wine from the north of Spain - of the Albarino grape variety, I believe - that complemented our main of pork cooked two ways delightfully. The cheeseboard had to be... (read more)

“Awesome day with the meerkats!”
Written on: 22/05/2013 by KimRamsdale (1 review written)
If you like these cute, furry little creatures then this is an experience not to be missed. They day was overcast and cold but the moment the meerkats appeared it brighten up our day considerably. To be able to be in their enclosure to feed and interact with the funny animals, close up, is just the greatest fun. They chatter away happily whilst climbing all over you. What an awesome day! One we will not forget in a long, long time. We will definitely be coming back. (read more)

“Fantastic historic day out”
Written on: 22/05/2013 by Pamela44
The Hamptom Court Palace Bike Ride experience was a fantastic day out. Our guide was witty and very knowledgable which made the bike ride interesting and the scenery was breathtaking. More importantly the route we took was mainly flat along the Thames River, making the ride manageable for all abilities. Arriving at Hamptom Court by bike, simulated how the royals would have arrived hundreds of years ago embarking from the Thames River by boat. This is not the experience you gain if you... (read more)

I was given a Birds of Prey experience as a birthday gift; it was something I'd wanted to do for ages so was looking forward to it. I have to say I was not disappointed. I did this at the Hawk Conservancy near Andover in Hampshire and was pleased to discover that there would only be a small group of participants. We started off immediately with a hands-on session involving a vulture in the fields, with the staff sending the bird flying towards our outstretched arms. This was followed by a... (read more)

Cant thank Red Letter Days enough. Thank you guys. Purchased a meal for my anniversary in Mayfair, London. The experience was trouble free and nothing was too much trouble for them.

My wife and I had a delightful Afternoon Tea at Bartley Lodge Hotel, near Cadnam. The Hotel is in a pleasant setting and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

We had an afternoon spent in a stylish and extremely comfortable conservatory in Stanwell House, Lymington. The unobtrusive staff served an indulgent selection of sumptuous cakes, scones and sandwiches with plenty of tea which the staff were happy to replenish. The afternoon will be a special memory of a gift from our son and his family. We hope to go again with my sister. (read more)

An absolutely superb day out, well organised from start to finish. Excellent briefing beforehand, as obviously you don't have anyone sat next to you when you're on the track! Great little cars - very good fun to drive and the Marshalls did a great job of letting you get on with it and drive at a quick pace, allowing others that were maybe a bit nervous to build up their pace gradually. Any downsides...? All over far too quickly, could have driven round all day quite happily! I'd definitely... (read more)

With my Red Letter Day voucher I selected a Segway Rally for 2. Yet another adventure ticked off the list. I took my other half as the 2nd person. One of us took to it like a duck to water, the other more like bambi on the frozen lake. Great training was given and a course with some interesting twists/turns. There was certainly a good rally going on, only a small group are on each session, which means the more competitive have a chance to shine. However the meeker adventurer can still enjoy...

Excellent day out. Well planned with a good briefing and tour around the track before the drive. There were opportunities to buy extra laps or discounted drives on the day for people attending to watch. My son drove 6 laps of the circuit and loved it. A photo at the end was a good memory to take away with us. Very little waiting time to drive and good to be able to take photos and videos. I thought that the whole day was a bit expensive and advance notice of the cost of extra insurance... (read more)

The trip was a 60th birthday present from my sons. As it is a long hike up to Yorkshire we decided to make it a mini break and invited some friends along to enjoy the experience. The accommodation at the New Inn was fine and although the pub looks a little "tired"in places the staff were friendly, efficient and made us very welcome. As it was over a bank holiday weekend they really were under pressure but we were looked after very well. The location is great (Cropton is more of a hamlet than... (read more)

I took my family for a Queen's afternoon tea at the Rubens Hotel in London using a red letter day voucher I had received. The whole process was seemless and efficient and we had a great time. The only point to watch out for is once you have purchased a gift card you can not then access the best special offers. There was an offer for the tea with red letter days on third party sites but I could not get this because I already had a gift voucher. So suggest only paying for specific... (read more)

I attended the sushi-making course at YO Sushi in Reading. I think it is labelled the 'London Sushi School' on Red Letter Days. Initially we sat and watched the instructor cut up cucumber and demonstrate the ways of cutting a whole side of salmon in the ways needed for different types of sushi. At this point I was worried that it was just going to be a demonstration rather than activity, but then things started to get going. We were given a really well laid out and professional...
