Become a Flyboard rider with free flowing flair on these adrenaline-packed have-a-go sessions! What we love about this venue is that you will be taking to the fly board on the sea at this the country's very first coastal fly board centre! Feel like a superhero ninja in a wetsuit out on the blue waters of the south coast as you head out of Poole harbour & onto the open seas around Sandbanks beach for this amazing experience that will literally have you flying out of the water on a board. Maybe we should explain how it works. You get kitted out in full wet suit buoyancy aid & helmet then you'll put your feet into a pair of Hyperlite boots that are fixed to the fly board. The board itself is a bit like a plastic skateboard but with heavy duty jet hoses underneath to propel you in the air. When you first look at the gadget you'll think:' There's now way I'll be able to balance & stand up on THAT!' but with expert flyboard tuition & a bit of determination you will succeed. Once out on the water & ready to fly you get yourself strapped into the board. The accompanying PWC (that's personal water craft) that provides the water for the hoses & your instructor who is controlling the thrust will wait for the OK from you then the water is released.......and as the pressure builds up in the hose the underwater propulsion will raise the board with you on it out of the water...and you're flying! The sensation of being raised into the air on a column of high pressure water is probably quite enough excitement for one day by the seaside
- & after 25 minutes out on the sea you'll probably be exhilarated but exhausted too. Don't forget this flyboard centre at Poole harbour near Bournemouth is the first & only location in the UK to offer you the chance to get to grips with the fly board on coastal waters rather than an inland lake.

Get set & ready for leaping & bounding around when you go coasteering in Cornwall! If exploring the coast cliffs coves & sea caves in a new & exciting way appeals to you then try a trip on one of the most exhilarating adventures of all
- coasteering your way along some of Newquay's beauty spots. The coasteering on offer in Newquay is a mix of rock climbing canyoning & cliff jumping all rolled into an action-packed traverse all over the cliff headlands of Cornwall. You might think you have to be a super strong swimmer & have bulging muscles to enjoy this experience but you don't. It's all about listening to the instructor following their guidelines & taking the plunge using their techniques. One thing's for sure you'll get plenty of time to enjoy nature's watery wonderland of coasteering Cornish style. In fact there's a great variety of sea scenery packed into a small area making it an ideal location for novice coasteerers. & it's also worth noting that the natural obstacles you'll face are tidal. At high tide there'll be plenty of jumps & at low tide there are more caves & wildlife to see but at whatever maritime moment you choose the tackle Cornwall's finest coasteering you'll get to places well off the beaten track & inaccessible to even the most adventurous holidaymaker swimmers setting off from the beach! The only way we can describe this half day experience is that it's like setting a bird's (or perhaps seagull?) eye view & you get to see what only the seals see as you experience some of Cornwall's finest views. Coasteering safety requirements mean you are covered head to toe in a thermal neoprene suit & armed with specialist equipment including a life jacket so you will be safe whilst engaging in the thrill & rush of jumping from the cliffs swimming through caves & scrambling. As long as you can swim no previous experience is required. It doesn't matter how fit you are the trip will be tailored to be as mild or wild as you want. Experience a total contrast as you take in the most beautiful coastal surroundings Cornwall has to offer… & then throw yourself into them! Your coasteering Cornwall guides are part of an environmentally conscious company that tries to minimise the impact it makes on the natural environment. They avoid coasteering the same sites around Newquay too often & ensure that all course participants understand the impact they have on the natural surroundings when taking part in each activity. Not only will you have a great time
- but will also be learning about the stunning coastline surrounding you.

On these coffee making courses in Oxfordshire the love of coffee certainly runs deep! This artisan coffee roastery opens its doors to welcome you into the wonderful world of coffee beans & making great coffee for a selection of fascinating afternoon workshops. Emily started her coffee business in 2015. After many years heading up leading coffee chains & cafes she decided it was time to go back to basics. As a coffee lover with a conscience Emily firmly believes that sustainability in coffee from sourcing to serving is possible. A good cup of coffee is perfectly capable of supporting coffee bean producing communities when the process is approached in the right way. You could call it green coffee making. We just call it a really good coffee with its heart in the right place. Part of the ethos of the business is to impart all that knowledge experience & skill to coffee lovers like you. Emily & her dedicated team of coffee roasters baristas & business-savvy helpers offer a range of coffee workshops to give you an insight into the world of coffee. The Roasting course delves deep into the origins of coffee sourcing beans how they are roasted in the in-house roastery & how they taste once made into a cup of coffee. The Home Barista course is all about extraction pouring & latte art. This is the one that'll teach you a few barista tricks to impress your friends with next time you're hosting a dinner party or a morning coffee meet. For those who want in-depth knowledge of how which beans you choose can alter the taste of coffee (a bit like different grape varieties making very different wine) we can highly recommend the Home Brewing workshop. If you don't know your Arabica from your Robusta this session will teach you all that & a whole lot more about the humble coffee bean. We think this eclectic collection of educational & very tasty coffee making courses in Oxfordshire will enlighten inform & delight any coffee lover. An afternoon spent at this rural roastery on a farm between Oxford & Reading is sure to satisfy all your coffee desires! ...
