Set your sights on a big shooting challenge at this indoor gun range! Head down to Crackshot in Devon for a session with air rifles & pistols shooting targets. Take on the challenge & see who is the champion hotshot. Who'd have thought that behind the rather innocuous facade of an industrial estate building at Heathfield halfway between Bovey Tracey & Newton Abbot there lies a top notch indoor gun centre boasting not one not two but three different ranges: the pistol range the air rifle range & the high-tech simulated shoot. On arrival at this Devon range you'll see the smart reception area is also home to a well-stocked gun shop with everything that anyone from the amateur air rifle shooter to a top class marksman would need. Once the gun fit & safety briefings have been done it's time to let the shots ring out… On these experiences you can go for a one hour session that means that you can try your hand at two of the three ranges or go for the one & a half hour slot &... ...

River Bugging is the latest craze in Scotland that hails from down under & adrenaline is guaranteed as you take to the River Tummel in Perthshire in your personal River Bug! Bugging is a great way to see the river from a different perspective whether it's in a full raging spate or showing the calmer face of the summer. In fact high water or otherwise bugging is a thrill a minute
- river-based activity & not to be missed if you can keep a cool head when the spray is flying the river is deep & you're getting soaked. This centre was the first in Scotland to offer river bugging & this experience takes place on the Tummel river near Pitlochry. Since then several rivers in the area have been bugged but this is considered to be the original & the best. The bugs themselves are like blow up armchairs & work like a personal raft as you sit in them & launch yourself down the fast flowing waters negotiating your own path as you go. Before you head off you'll be kitted out in all t...

Book onto a rocket building workshop & learn how to build a proper rocket! & when we say rocket we mean an actual 1m-high missile capable of being propelled several thousand feet in the air. Yes you read that right. You’ll be building a rocket that’ll be heading way up high in the sky! How exciting is that?

Luckily you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to be into rocketry. These innovative rocket building workshops will take you through the whole process in just a day. From the initial design through assembly & onto preparing the mounts for the launch it’s fascinating stuff. You even learn how to install & test a parachute for your rocket’s re-entry so it lands gently enough that you can re-use your h&-crafted rocket.

Each participant gets to build their own rocket & the culmination of all that hard work in the workshop is a launch event where you will get to fire your rocket off into space (well into the blue at least!). You’ll be transported to the special outdoor rocket launch zone where the final preparations will be undertaken ready for blast off. Once launched into orbit your attention turns to tracking the rocket & then recovery.

Of course behind every great rocket is a team of great scientists. Here at this Rocket HQ Ben is head of rocketry. He’s been building rockets for many many years. He’s overseen more than 1500 launches with high performance hybrid nitrous oxide-powered designs producing 10KM of thrust & regularly reaching between 20 000 & 30 000ft in the stratosphere.

Ben launched his fully-fledged UK rocket business based out of former RAF Coltishall near Norwich where your workshop will take place. His aim is to provide training simulation & services to the UK space industry including launching rockets with payloads or for high altitude weather monitoring for example.

These one-day rocket building workshops give you the chance to find out just how you can build & launch your very own space rocket. Ideally aimed at grown ups these fab experiences allow you to realise those childhood rocket-building dreams. Time to get ready to go to infinity & beyond & book your place!
