The temperatures are rising and the summer holidays are looming – but with airports up and down the country experiencing disruption, you may not want to risk travelling abroad.
Luckily, you don’t have to – because there are plenty of great attractions right here on our doorstep in Bedfordshire.
So let’s have a look at what’s on offer…
One for the thrill seekers! Based on the Luton Hoo country estate, the experience features 5km of obstacle-filled track. Guests can combine off-road
driving with clay pigeon shooting or even sushi making. Find out more at london.landroverexperience.co.uk

Put your puzzle solving skills to the test at this Bedford attraction. Pit your wits against one of the themed rooms – from carrying out a daring bank heist to channelling your inner Sean Connery to escape from Alcatraz. Afterwards, you can celebrate how brilliant you are at the lounge bar. Find out more at www.dontgetlockedin.com

If you’re a cat person (and honestly why wouldn’t you be?), this one is purr-fect for you. Have a drink, a delicious bite to eat, and snuggle with one of the adorable rescue cats from boss-cat Steve who will shout for cuddles to the gorgeous three-legged Utange. You can even enjoy a fancy afternoon tea!

A pint in a beer garden is the perfect way to spend a sunny afternoon. Good food, good service, and if you’re a fan of 80s hits, great music too! Pop down on Sunday and try to roast.
