ITINERARIES

We’ve come up with some rather civilised suggestions for your stay in the Harborough District.

Lunchtime: Take a pit stop in the village of Broughton Astley. Enjoy lunch in one of our local eateries before heading off on your next adventure.

Afternoon: The Gliding Centre

Experience a thrill to remember at The Gliding Centre, with various flight experiences suitable for all ages. Both relax and take in the amazing scenery whilst up in the air or you can take control. As well as offering the opportunity to experience the joy of silent flight, The Gliding Centre also offers adventure activities including clay pigeon shooting and off road driving. This is the ideal way to ensure your day is a one to remember.

OPTION 2: HISTORY & HERITAGE

Morning: A visit to Stanford Hall

The Hall was designed and built in the 17th century by Smiths of Warwick. Take a guided tour around the house where rare and important painting and antiques can be found. On a nice day you can enjoy a relaxing morning in the park or experience the nature trail across the estate. Check the website for opening dates and times.

Afternoon: A visit to Harborough Museum

Harborough Museum celebrates Market Harborough’s long history as a centre of trade and industry in the Welland Valley. Take a look at the displays the museum has to offer, including The Hallaton Treasure Gallery, Falkner’s Boot and Shoe Making Workshop and the Railways in Market Harborough.

Take a walk through Market Harborough’s town centre to see the historic buildings and independent retailers.

OPTION 3: KEEP THE KIDS BUSY

Morning: Experience a ‘Bird on the Hand’

Book an activity like no other and get up close and personal with fascinating birds of prey. Learn all about the lords of the air and their place in nature and also gain skills of how to train and communicate with the beautiful birds.

Afternoon: Be a little mischievous

Let the kids run wild at Mini Mischiefs in Market Harborough or Manic Minors Adventure Playground in Lutterworth. These indoor soft play areas are great for a rainy day, a birthday party or maybe just when you need to tire the children out with an afternoon full of fun.
