Amazing experience! A friend had planned for a group of us to do the quad biking and It's a Knockout and it was one of the best days out despite the weather. The staff are great, especially the main guy that was on the mic for It's a Knockout (forgot his name sorry 🙈) Just one comment would be that our team definitely had our points tallied wrong cause we won a few games Inc our joker and came 2nd on most others but came third overall 😲 (I'm very competitive haha). I would recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun activity day out! Thank you!!!!

Did not like the stag do pressure to be shot at by others , blood drawn and stags in obvious pain . Not a happy reminder for their stag do never mind the bruises and broken skin . I felt traumatised for them . Also lunches has to be ordered in advance , I had not booked this , one of the other hens , so be aware a chocolate lunch was had by all
