Why a Virgin Experience Days gift card makes a great gift
Finding the right present for someone can be a real challenge, especially when you’ve known that person for a long time. Year after year, you’re searching for an object that eventually gets used, tidied, or even thrown away. So, instead of adding to that person’s ever-growing pile of stuff, you can treat them to an incredible day out and give them the long-lasting gift of memories.
Virgin Experience Days launched in 1989 as Acorne Sports and became part of the Virgin empire in 2002. In the time since, it has accumulated thousands of experiences across the UK and beyond.
The great thing about Virgin Experience Days is that it caters to everyone. From the biggest ambitions to the smallest niche, there will be an experience to fit you.
If you’re an adrenaline junkie, you’ll find driving day experiences, sky diving and swimming with sharks. Or, if you lead a more tranquil life, you can choose boat tours, afternoon teas or cooking classes.
For the sporty types, you’ll be pleased to know that they’ve got stadium tours with unique behind-the-scenes access and weekends away for golfing, shooting and whatever else you can think of. And if you’re a film and TV nerd, then you can find dozens of studio tours on everything from Peaky Blinders tours to Harry Potter experiences.
In short, finding someone an experience that’s personal to them is a great way to show your love. Virgin Experience Days activities can be bought at any time and for any time of year, and you’ll never run out of interesting things to do.
