WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?
For anyone who’s ever fancied being the one in the driver’s seat, this is a chance to make it happen. At the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway, they’ll meet the railway crew before heading onto the footplate of a mighty Type 4 diesel locomotive.
TELL ME MORE
Following a safety briefing, they’ll take control themselves, feeling the impressive 2,500 bhp at work as they drive along an eight-mile stretch of picturesque countryside. With experienced railway crew on hand to guide the way, there’s plenty of time to enjoy the rumble, scenery and sheer novelty of actually driving a full-sized locomotive.
It’s a brilliant experience for railway enthusiasts, transport fans or anyone who fancies swapping the passenger seat for the driver’s cab.

I didn't know what to expect booking a Japanese Afternoon Tea since we had to change our experience when we realised it wasn't guaranteed a chef would be avaliable for a different Afternoon Tea at the Bradford Tong Hotel venue we wanted to go to (and there weren't many venues available in West Yorkshire). We decided to book Karma Sanctum Soho in London for the last day of our voucher (since we were travelling to visit family). Turned out to be an amazing Afternoon Tea. They didn't have halal mea...
My sister and I had a fantastic time at the drawing class, the miniature donkeys were called Gilbert and Sullivan and they were adorable. They munched on hay all the time and were so good. Jenny was lovely and very encouraging and we had a great time. We will definately be doing this again. I have attached my drawing of them (it won't be sold at Sotherby's any time soon!!!) but is a lovely reminder of a special day.
Another great event through Indytute. Easy to buy, easy to book and a really well organised activity. Saw lots of London you wouldn't normally see and had plenty of fun at the same time.
My sister and myself had a brilliant afternoon Tea at the Sheraton Grand Park Lane Hotel, London. We arrived slightly earlier than the time booked but this was no problem for the staff. Very friendly, courteous and attentive. Glass of champagne to start, sandwiches, cakes and tea and coffee. All very delicious and freshly made. We would certainly recommend this venue to people and intend visiting again.
What a relaxing morning learning a new skill with friends. Thank you for the tuition and tea and biscuits :)
