A Father's Day to remember

Father's Day is coming up fast this Sunday 19 June. In this weeks blog, rather than hunting on the high street to purchase that special gift for Dad, I thought I would make the suggestion of purchasing an experience.

I don’t know if you have discovered Groupon yet, but this website is packed full of ideas at discounted prices to purchase that special experience.

Click on this Groupon link to register and search for that perfect gift for dad.

 

Another great site to get a bargain experience is Lastminute.com explore their website and discover exciting, original and their downright irresistible gift experiences range. They  have something for everyone whether you're an adrenaline junkie, water-sports fanatic or like the slower pace of life! Theyalso have driving experiences, experience days as well as their exclusive 'do something' vouchers if you can't make up your mind

Live theatre, of course is a great experience, and it is a great way to treat dad - and yourself at the same time.

Not a week goes by without me and my partner visiting the West End in London to take in a show, and there are some really great shows on at the moment.

Here are my recommendations for treating Dad. I have seen recently seen all three of these shows, and anyone of them would make the perfect gift for Fathers Day.

Million Dollar Quartet

Million Dollar Quartet will take you back to 1956 to a special night when Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis came together to make music and ended up making history. Inspired by the actual event that took place on 4 December 1956 at Sun Records in Memphis, this fantastic musical features over 20 of the greatest rock ’n’ roll, gospel, R&B and country hits ever written including: “Blue Suede Shoes”, “I Walk The Line”, “Fever”, “Great Balls of Fire”, “Hound Dog”, “Folsom Prison Blues” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On”

War Horse

The First World War is the backdrop for this tale of bravery, loyalty and the extraordinary bond between a young recruit and his horse. Young Albert's beloved horse, Joey, is sold to the cavalry and shipped to France at the outbreak of World War One. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to the trenches to find him and bring him home. Treat Dad to an unforgettable journey through history with the awe-inspiring War Horse.

We will Rock You

We Will Rock You is the head-banging, toe-tapping musical based on the songs of Queen and features 31 of their greatest hits including “I Want to Break Free”, “Somebody to Love”, “Killer Queen”, “Under Pressure”, “Don't Stop Me Now”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, “Another One Bites the Dust”, “We Are the Champions” and “Bohemian Rhapsody”.Set in a completely globalised future where everyone listens to the same music, wears the same fashions and thinks the same thoughts, rock ‘n’ roll has been effectively banned for centuries. But legend has it that somewhere instruments still exist, waiting for a hero to play them

If you don’t live in London, why not check out whats on at your local Theatre. There are some great shows out there to be seen.

The Pub

Finally, if your budget is tight, or you’ve left it too late to book anything why not take your dad to the pub and have a couple of drinks together, I guarantee your dad will love spending some quality time with you.

I hope my blog has inspired you to thinking about Fathers day.

Until the next blog then…..
