Let the pebbles do the healing when you enjoy a hot stone massage in Nottingham! Incredibly warming & cosy a thermal massage will do you the world of good. Muscle aches will vanish & you'll feel supple & raring to go & attack everyday life again by the end of your session. You might think using stones as part of a massage therapy is a little unusual. In fact as this Nottingham team knows only too well the smooth pebbles are brilliant at keeping heat in & feel really quite nice on your skin too which is why they are used. Some may talk about particular properties of certain types of rock but all we know it feels great! At this Nottingham salon we are offering the choice of either a full body massage with the stones or an upper body version concentrating purely on the neck back & shoulder areas but in both cases the aim is a deep tissue massage. Different sizes of stones will be used on different areas of the body; the largest are used along the spine for example whilst smaller pebbles can even be put in between toes As well as the placement technique your therapist will also rub problem areas with the stones to really help those tense muscles release themselves paying particular attention to classic areas of muscular strain around the neck & back. Although a warmed stone can be placed directly on the skin many beauticians like to use oils. A light covering is applied so as not to soak into the skin & then the stone is added. The mix of essential oils for a hot stone massage is a real art so this Nottingham salon has chosen to use their own unique design oil for their active botanical ingredients that smell simply wonderful. So if you fancy trying the delights of a hot stone massage this Nottingham salon is the place to go for girls in the East Midlands. Right in the centre of town you can combine your thermal massage experience with lunch out with girlfriends a bit of shopping or sightseeing
- but we recommend you finish off your day with the therapy else you'll be far too relaxed to cruise the shops afterwards!

Go on a journey with Hotel Chocolat from bean to bar on these brilliant chocolate experiences! Spend a couple of hours at one of Hotel Chocolat's very own chocolate schools to learn how cocoa beans get transformed into the glossy bars of chocolate that Hotel Chocolat is renowned for. It's going to be a taste & smell sensation on these workshops. We all know chocolate tastes so good but what do cocoa beans actually smell like? You'll be immersed in the world of cocoa during these experiences so you'll be tasting & smelling all the way through the chocolate-making process. The chocolate laboratory is a special place. The vibe is very much one of a cocoa plantation with the mix of metal & wood with hurricane lamps & hessian sacks. In fact Hotel Chocolat owns it's own plantation in Saint Lucia so that's how they know they are getting the very best cocoa beans to create their renowned & much-loved chocolate range. & it's this process you'll be learning about. The Hotel Chocolat conching machines whirr away whilst your chocolatier host explains how their chocolate is made. But you're not just here to listen
- you're here to make your very own chocolate bar from roasted cocoa beans! Time to roll your sleeves up & get stuck in. As your expert chocolatier explains the purest chocolate is just cocoa beans some sugar & maybe a little milk. So you'll be given your own stash of freshly roasted Hotel Chocolat cocoa beans to grind by h&. The smell at this point is incredible
- earthy & intense. As the cocoa powder separates from the cocoa butter you start to get a paste & you're well on the way to making your bar! Time for some tempering to bring the paste up to temperature to get that perfect crystal structure giving it that smooth & glossy finish. Once poured into the moulds (with a little bash to get the air out) you're done. Time to reflect with a glass of bubbly on how you took cocoa beans & made them into an actual chocolate bar. Chocolate set & ready you'll leave this Hotel Chocolat bean to bar experience with your very own h&-made slab of chocolate. Yum!

Making a mess is actually all part of the fun during these chocolate sessions that are just for kids aged between five & 13 years old. Hosted by Hotel Chocolat kids will have a blast. The history of chocolate is explained in a fun yet informative way & without waffle so youngsters get just the right amount of facts & figures before attention wanders. After the educational bit that

Includes:: seeing the machines used to turn cocoa beans into chocolate it's time to get hands-on. & as an accompanying adult you can watch your little ones as they get stuck in with all things cocoa. What's more you'll most likely be offered a drink (ever had a drink at a Hotel Chocolat cafe? Well we can tell you the hot choc is to die for!) & even take a nibble on some sampling choc yourself. Each child will be presented with a block of delicious chocolate & that means it's time for the decorating to begin. Kids will be piping swirls & shapes with different colours of warmed liquid chocolate sticking on mini marshmallows & generally just making a glorious cocoa mess as they decorate. All bars are made in their own unique style & once they've set it's time to wrap them as neatly as a Hotel Chocolat bar in the shop ready to be taken home. The only problem we can see with these Hotel Chocolat Kids' sessions is the fact that those neatly packaged bars of h&-crafted chocolate will so not be making it home without being scoffed. All the more reason for you grown ups to make sure you buy your own little stock of choc in the shop before you leave!!

It's all about the hovercraft in Leicester with our one to one & shared sessions spent learning how to fly these mad machines! Once you've got the the hang of the basics you will be jettisoning around the purpose built course near Market Harborough whooping with delight! Cruising above the mud is great fun in a hovercraft. We definitely recommend bringing a pair of waterproofs to protect you from what the experts call 'splash back' caused by the air-cushion vehicle floating just a few inches above the ground & making mud dirt & water fly everywhere. To pilot these unusual craft you'll be perched in a kneeling position so that you can use your weight to shift & control where you're going. As well as needing a good sense of balance there's judgement & a good dose of forward thinking required. That's because there's just a throttle & rudder but no brakes so expect adventures abound when it comes to trying to slow down or stop. Of course you won't be just let loose on... ...

Watch out there'll be some serious flying fun on water with our hovercrafting in Bedfordshire! Situated on the Wyboston Lakes its enjoyment factor 10 as you cruise over the lake on these one to one sessions. Being at the helm of a racing hovercraft as you skim the water is guaranteed to give the wow factor & miles of smiles! What's more there's no hanging around waiting your turn at this Bedfordshire centre as the hovercrafting time is allotted just for you. First you will learn the basics including accelerating & stopping the craft (useful to know considering there are no brakes). Then there's how to pilot the vehicle with the handlebars & shifting your body weight to help manoeuvre. Once that's all been covered by this Bedfordshire team it's time to fire up the fan & go hovercrafting in style starting off by pulling some 360's on land to get used to the controls before you take full advantage of the craft's amphibious quality & hit the water. What makes this hovercraft venue near St Neots in Bedfordshire unique is the water. Far from being simply a watersplash obstacle this is a full-sized lake. That means you'll have serious room to glide & manoeuvre for that floating sensation as you literally skim the water. It's possible to accelerate to high speeds drifting sideway at up to 40mph & there's even room to bust out 180 360 & 720 degree turns. As you hit the waves you'll become airborne & the noise of the fan is so loud you need a headset to hear the instructions from your coach sitting behind you. Hovercrafting at Bedfordshire's lakeside setting is without doubt the best for those wanting to experience the sensation of waterborne lift off. What's more the hovercrafts this Bedfordshire team uses are the British designed & built Flying Fish regarded as the most reliable durable & safe personal hovercrafts on the market. Time to let rip on the tranquil waters of this lake & make some air-powered waves. Please visit our main hovercrafting section to see the full range of hovercraft experiences we have on offer now! ...

Your hovercraft experience in Cheshire is all about no brakes bags of thrust & an inflatable skirt! Hovercrafts offering passenger services might be a distant memory but the racing spirit lives on with these fantastic sports models. Here's your chance to get your hands on one & see what it feels like to hover just centimetres off the ground at speed.

We are offering a trio of hovercrafting sessions for you. The Taster is perfect for a first go as you’ll be learning on the training circuit away from the water. The Racing experience will see you hitting the main track (where the water splashes are) for a duel or a time trial. & the Ultimate hovercraft session here in Cheshire gives you double or everything!

The sensation when driving a hovercraft has been likened to the thrills of low level flying. & believe us there's nothing like that feeling of flying as you turn onto the water & start skimming. Oh & that bit about having no brakes? Well we'll let the team of highly experienced instructors here in Cheshire tell you just how to slow down & stop!

With not one but two purpose-built hover cross tracks & a fleet of 10 hovers at your disposition Frodsham's marshlands provide an excellent setting for testing that low-level flying theory. & being marshy the ground has a tendency to get waterlogged & very soggy as well making extra thrilling hovercraft racing.

This specialist hover centre uses the well-known Flying Fish hovercrafts that offer fun & thrills on a highly manoeuvrable sit down craft & there is also a BBV hovercraft waiting in the wings. Now these machines might not be as familiar but they certainly pack a serious punch as they are powerful ultra rugged & reliable
- we'll have to see who has the tenacity to handle these slippery sliders!

With three different hovercraft experiences in Cheshire we think there’s a session for abilities & ages. & remember if you want the thrills of the water splashes go for the Racing or Ultimate experiences otherwise the Taster is the one for a less soggy hovercraft initiation session!
