Are you looking for a gift with a sporting difference? Fed up of buying sports gear that goes out of fashion before the season is over? Why not get back to grass roots and take in a sports related gift experience instead? Treat sports supporters to tours of their favourite sporting venues. With fantastic gift experiences such as these, you can take fans back to where their passion for their particular sport first began.
Football Stadium Tours
The ultimate gift for any football fan would be to visit the hallowed turf of their favourite football club. Football Stadium Tours give behind the scenes access to some of the top clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool FC. You can learn about the history of the club, but more importantly you get to visit the dressing rooms and walk down the players’ tunnel!
Tour of Lords Cricket Ground
For those of you who prefer the more genteel sound of cork on willow, then a tour of the MCC’s Lord’s Cricket Ground would totally bowl over any keen cricket fan. You will be able to walk in the footsteps of Botham, Atherton and Boycott and stride leg before wicket through the Long Room, dressing rooms and around the museum. Hows-zat for a gift experience! This would be top of any cricket lovers list of must have birthday gifts this or any other year.
Wimbledon Experience
Wimbledon - one of the Grand Slam tennis venues and the home of tennis in England. This legendary venue - which has been host to never-to-be-forgetten finals such as Bjorg and McEnroe and Agassi vs Sampras - is yours to discover. Take a complete tour of this typically English venue. You will even get to visit many of the areas that are out of bounds even for tournament ticket holders. However, you don’t need to worry; no umpire will call you out for a foot fault! You will even get tickets to the centre court for a day’s play, during what is regarded as the highlight on all tennis players and tennis fans circuit.
Round of Golf
Now this is more like it - a round of golf. You can pick from top courses around the UK and the Republic of Ireland and there are golf experiences to suit all skill levels. You can learn how to swing a golf club, book a lesson with a Pro, or simply take to the fairways with your friends.
So, for this year’s round of birthday and christmas, don’t give au unimaginative gift when you could give the sports lover in your life an experience that will truly be treasured instead.
