Father’s Day Gifts For Sports Lovers

When it comes to Father’s Day, socks and a new tie just don’t cut it anymore. If your dad is a sports enthusiast, it’s time to step up your gift game with something he’ll never forget. Whether he’s a rugby fanatic, a golf obsessive, or partial to a bit of darts and fishing, WonderDays has experience gifts that hit the back of the net every time.

You generally find that men that like one sport, tend to be into ALL sports so our gift guide is handy if your Dad is a fan of one of the sports as you could be buying them the chance to fall in love with a new sport they’d never thought of following before!

For Rugby Fans: Tour the Mighty Allianz Stadium

If your dad eats, sleeps and breathes rugby, then a Allianz Stadium tour is the ultimate treat. With a seating capacity of 82,000, it’s not just the largest rugby union stadium in the UK—it’s the largest in the world. Home to Saracens RFC, this state-of-the-art arena offers exclusive behind the scenes access, including changing rooms, pitch side views and player tunnels. It's a chance to walk in the footsteps of legends.

For Football Mad Dads: Stadium & Helicopter Tours

Whether he’s a die-hard supporter of Man United, Arsenal, or Liverpool, a stadium tour is the next best thing to a matchday ticket. With over 90 professional football stadiums in the UK, there’s no shortage of legendary grounds to explore.

Old Trafford is the biggest, with room for 74,879 fans, while at the other end of the pitch, Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium holds just 11,364—the smallest in the Premier League.

Want to take the gift to the next level? Add a helicopter stadium tour for a sky-high view of his favourite ground. Now that’s what we call Father’s Day goals.

Located across 11 venues, you can get the chance to see the likes of Birmingham City and Wolves stadiums, Liverpool and Everton and Man City and Man Utd but to name a few!

For Golfers: Simulators & Pro Lessons

For dads who prefer swinging clubs to pints, a golf simulator or lesson with a pro is the perfect gift. With high-tech simulators, he can virtually tee off at some of the world’s best courses—without leaving the country. And if he’s looking to shave a few shots off his handicap, private tuition from a PGA pro is the perfect way to level up.

For Beach Bums: Surfing Sessions

Got a dad who’s more into catching waves than catching Zzz’s? Surfing lessons offer a brilliant way to challenge himself and try something new. The UK is home to Britain’s longest beach, Bournemouth Beach, stretching over seven miles of sand and surf—plenty of room for Dad to find his balance and wipe out in style.

For Chill Seekers: Fishing Adventures

Fishing isn’t just about patience—it’s about the thrill of the catch. Whether your dad’s into sea fishing or riverside serenity, WonderDays offers gift experiences that bring tranquillity and excitement in equal measure.

Fun fact? The biggest fish ever caught on record was a 2,664lb great white shark. We’re not saying he’ll beat that, but he’ll have a great time trying.

For Snow Fans: Hit the UK’s Longest Ski Run

Skiing in the UK? Absolutely. Treat your dad to a day on the slopes with a ski pass to Glenshee Ski Centre, home to the UK’s longest ski run. Nestled in the Scottish Highlands, Glenshee offers over 25 miles of pistes across four mountains and three valleys—an alpine adventure without the passport.

Or, if he fancies somewhere a bit closer to home, then a lesson on a dry ski slope is the next best option!

For Darts Fans: Pub Game Glory

If your dad fancies himself as a bit of a Phil Taylor in the making, a darts experience could be right up his alley. Combine it with a pint or two and you’ve got yourself a top-tier Father’s Day treat that’s fun, social, and full of friendly competition.

Still Not Sure? Let Dad Choose!

If you’re torn between options, why not let Dad decide? A WonderDays gift voucher gives him the freedom to pick his own adventure—whether it's on the waves, slopes or fairways.
