Days out Bounce in Zip World’s underground caverns
7 Dare to dip
Come face to face with evil goo
Remember that scene in Ghostbusters where the guys climb out of the manhole covered in evil goo? A tour of Brighton’s sewers is remarkably similar... This rather quirky tour takes you along 400 yards of the 30 miles of sewers that wind beneath the streets of Brighton. Groups of up to 25 can head underground, suitably kitted out in hard hats and protective gloves to discover the secrets lying beneath their feet. ■ Visit

See Windsor as never before Windsor Castle may not be Hogwarts, but it has a rich history stretching back 1,000 years – and when fire broke out there in 1992 it made headline news around the world. Groups of all ages can learn more about this devastating event and the skilled work carried out to restore the castle. You’ll hear the dramatic story of the battle to stop the flames and save works of art from the Royal Collection, and the subsequent restoration project. The visit begins with a snack and an expert talk, before a tour of the State Apartments, including areas transformed by the awardwinning restoration work.
