Have you ever thought about organising an experience day?
It’s your best friend’s birthday, a classmate is moving to a new town or your brother’s going to
university. What do you buy them? What about getting them one of these experiences?

Drive a Lamborghini
Have you ever wanted to drive a fast sports car? If you’re not old
enough to get a driving licence, then this experience allows people
as young as 11 to achieve their dream. When you arrive at the
race track, the instructors will first talk to you about safety. Then
you’ll get into your car, turn on the engine and off you go. You’ll have
about 10 minutes on the track.
The Bear Grylls Adventure
You’ll need to be fit and over 10 if you want to enjoy an experience
here. They’ll organise you into teams and give you a challenge. First
they ask you to solve some problems in the escape room. Will you
be fast enough to break out before the alarm rings? Next you’ll do
an assault course where you’ll climb over a big wall. Finish the day
underwater, with 25 minutes in the snorkel cage looking at sharks.

Become an artist for a few days

At Chelsea College of Arts, UAL, London, you can learn lots of
different things. On the 3-day Studio Art course, you’ll work with an
artist and learn how to use different materials. On the 3D-design
course, you’ll learn to make real objects from your own 2D designs.
This course includes a trip to an art gallery, so you can get some new
ideas. And if you’re into photography and you’d like to learn how to
improve your photos on a computer, then the Digital Art course is
