Get to meet these magnificent Shire horses and learn all about this most famous breed of working horse

These two new outdoor adventure experiences we’ve just added make us feel all warm inside. It’s something about harking back to a more genteel, simple way of life before we all joined the rat race full of horrendous traffic jams, when Shire horses clip-clopped along the cobbled streets and the local public house was the centre of village life….

It all sounds very ‘Heartbeat’ doesn’t it? And it really is. Whether you choose the Horse Pub Run experience, where you’ll be taken to a country pub in a open country carriage pulled by two fine Shire horses, or go for the full day Shire horse experience where you get a real in sight into the life of an ostler, it’s a fun day out in the Essex countryside for all ages.

And in case you’re wondering, an ostler is the proper term for someone charged with looking after guests’ horses at the Inn - sadly replaced by valet car parking these days!

A ride the to pub with a difference : enjoy a horse drawn carriage ride and a pub lunch. Perfect!

Whichever Shire horse experience you go for, you will have plenty of time to find out all about Shire horses as the expert stable hands with you will tell you all about where the name Shire horse comes from, about their distinctive white socks and ‘feathers’ and how they really were the strongest working horses around for many years.

Both experiences include the horse drawn carriage ride to the local pub, as well as a meal at the pub and the ride back to the stables.

We reckon you’ve got to be just a little bit mad to want to do a bungee jump in the first place, but to throw yourself off a crane in front Wembley Stadium really is taking this bungee jumping malarky to the next level, but it seems you adrenaline fiends just can’t get enough of this new bungee venue.

Your chance to bungee jump in front of Wembley Stadium - if you dare!

Since (finally) opening in 2007, the Norman Foster designed stadium has won over the nation. One for the pub quiz factfile, George Michael was the first music concert to take place in the stadium, but the altogether cooler Muse were the first lot to actually sell out the stadium. Since then, the rock legend likes of Foo Fighters, Metallica, Oasis and er…Madonna have been wowing the stadium crowds.

It may have been horrendously expensive and late, but with the 90,000 seats it’s the second largest stadium in the Europe and makes for a very distinctive north London skyline with that famous arch. In fact, you’ll be jumping right in front of the 1040ft high arch, so expect some really quite impressive photos!

A bungee crane at 160ft will be set up in the grounds in front of Wembley Stadium, with a massive air cushion below. You’ll be kitted up with all the safety harnesses by members of the jump team, before being handed over to the jumpmaster for the final preparations. After the jumpmaster makes that infamous call ‘One, two, three…bungeeeeeeeeeeee’ it’s over to you, as you dive head first into fresh air right in front of our new Wembley Stadium. A truly awesome experience which is reserved for only the biggest adrenaline hunters…
