Other Sports Gift Experiences
Experience a Terrific Day of Sport
Sir Roger Bannister once said “the essence of sport is that while you are doing it, nothing else matters." Sport can help you relax or pump you full of adrenaline and it delivers the ultimate satisfaction when your favourite team wins or you hit an inch-perfect shot!
GoneDigging offers a range of sports experiences that are great gift ideas for sports enthusiasts or for anybody who enjoys an activity day out. These gift experiences include tours of some of the most famous sporting arenas in the country and the opportunity to learn an adrenaline sport, such as power kiting or windsurfing. Recipients could alternatively hone their technique through golf instruction or a fishing trip.
We have a vast array of Football, Horseracing and Golf presents and below you will find more details about some of our other popular sports gift experiences and days out.
Wimbledon Tennis Experience Tours
A Wimbledon Tour For Two is an award winning gift experience that delivers an incredible view of the most famous tournament in tennis. A Blue Badge guide will show you and one other adult the No.1 Court, press conference room and either the Centre Court or BBC studio – depending upon which day you visit. Another highlight of these tour gifts is the included entry to the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum. This features the championship trophies and a display of tennis fashion, including clothing that was worn in some of the most famous Wimbledon matches in history. There are also two innovative film experiences; a hologram of John McEnroe will guide you through the gentlemen’s locker room of the 1980s and you can experience what it feels like to play on Centre Court through a 3D camera system, which was also used to film The Matrix.
Other Wimbledon presents include a Family Tour of Wimbledon - which includes two adults and two children - and an Adult Wimbledon Tour.
Fishing Gifts
GoneDigging offers a choice of terrific fishing trips, which are both based at the award-winning Pilgrim Hotel in Hertfordshire.
Our Fishing Break for Two is a relaxing fishing trip that can be enjoyed with a friend. You will be able to enjoy a peaceful day of fishing amongst stunning scenery, including the Black Mountains, before coming back to the fabulous hotel for a delicious three course dinner. The weekend fishing break also includes breakfast and a packed lunch for each guest.
You could alternatively choose to extend your fishing trip by selecting a Two Night Fishing Break. This fishing break for two includes one full day of fishing and two nights of accommodation at the Pilgrim Hotel. Breakfast, lunch and a wonderful dinner are provided for both guests over two days.
We also offer a fantastic day out during which you can Learn to Fly Fish. A full day of instruction will cover all the basics of this distinct and exciting angling method, such as how to handle the rod and the art of casting the line. The fly fishing lesson can take place at your choice of venue and these fun fishing gift experiences include a tasty light lunch.
Learn to play Polo
Polo is the traditional game of royalty. It is exciting, fast-paced and certainly a challenge to master. In fact, Sylvester Stallone once said that playing polo was like ‘trying to play golf through an earthquake!’ The thrill of the game makes it well worth learning and you will feel incredibly rewarded as you improve. Our Polo at Ascot Park present features highly trained instructors who will teach you ball skills and riding skills, before you then take part in a game. The stunning setting makes this a wonderful day out that is sure to be fondly remembered.
Bespoke Cricket Bat
Create your own customised cricket bat through our Bespoke Cricket Bat Experience. A master of the trade will assess your size, shape and weight to make a cricket bat that will suit you specifically and feel glorious to use. You will be involved in the entire process - which is usually reserved for professional cricketers - and by the end of this unique day out you will have the perfect bat to help you play like Pietersen or Tendulkar!
