 Center Parcs Leisure Resort (Longleat)

Our activie group wasted no time choosing their lucky club and ball to take on the fun but challenging crazy golf course! There were some impressive shots and even a hole in one! 

The swimming facilities are amazing and our daredevil boys whizzed down the flumes and bravely took on the mighty rapids. You can tell my the smiles on our faces just how much fun we had!

We really were like the modern day Robin Hood and we had the hat to prove it! Once again our competitive side came out and we aimed at the target board scoring highly!

It was time to get arty down at the crafts room. We all picked an ornament to paint and before long we were making some great  masterpieces. 

We were thrilled with the finished result and we all agreed they made a great memento.

With our safety gear on we took to the rink for an afternoon of Roller Skating! Once we had got our balance we were gliding round like pro's! Oh we did laugh so much!  

Things heated up down at bowling alley as everyone had bought their A game! At points it was too close to call who would be crowned champion! 

The sun was shining, making it a perfect day for a trip on the lake. Everyone got a chance to steer the boat and we all agreed we would make great captains. 

The boys played a great game down on the pool table both trying their best not to pot the black until the very end!

The sun was shining and we couldn't think of a better way to start our holiday than by taking a stroll along the promenade taking in the beautiful sea views. 

There were so many great activities for us to join in with and we certainly didn't waste any time showing off our competitive side. There were some great rallies on the ping pong table, impressive shots on the pool table and we scored highly on the shuffleboard mat. 

The evening entertainment always got us up on the dance floor showing off our disco moves. The live shows were spectacular from musical medley's to hilarious comedy acts. 

We picked our lucky bow and arrows and with a steady hand we were soon hitting the target board. We all agreed we would give Robin Hood a run for his money! 

Hoy Bingo was always a favourite with our group. The idea is for a player to match all their cards on their sheet to the cards the dealer calls out to become a winner.

We couldn't resist visiting the iconic Spinnaker Tower—one of the UK’s most recognizable landmarks, standing an impressive 170 meters tall. Shaped like a sail to reflect Portsmouth's rich maritime heritage, the tower offers breathtaking 360° panoramic views across the city, the Solent, and even out to the Isle of Wight. Once at the top, we were treated to an unforgettable view—navy ships of all sizes dotted the waters below. We spotted impressive vessels like the Mary Rose and various support ships, all docked or navigating the naval dockyard. 

It was game on down at the bowling alley where there were some great shots and high scores. It was lovely to see everyone cheering each other on.

Before heading home, we made one last stop for a final treat—a ride on the Hayling Light Railway. This charming narrow-gauge steam railway runs along the coast of Hayling Island, offering a perfect and peaceful way to end our trip. The Islander engine chugged steadily along, taking us on a 30-minute return journey with stunning seaside views. We smiled as we gazed out at colourful beach huts and seagulls gliding above in search of scraps.
