Northampton might be famous for its shoemaking heritage and historic market town charm, but it’s also packed with unforgettable experiences that go far beyond the usual tourist trail. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a countryside cruiser, or just someone in search of a memorable day out, WonderDays offers a brilliant range of things to do in Northampton that suit all ages and interests.
Here’s a look at some of the best experiences you can book right now or use as a bucket list in Northampton.
Yes, you read that right. In Northamptonshire, you can climb inside a real 15-tonne armoured tank and take it for a spin across muddy terrain. The Full Monty Tank Driving Experience lets you drive a range of military vehicles including the 432 APC and Abbott SPG – with a twist. If you’re the top driver of the day, you’ll even get to crush a car with the tank. It’s loud, messy, adrenaline-fuelled mayhem – and it’s every bit as epic as it sounds.
If you’re short on time or want to gift a scaled-back version, the Half Day Tank Driving Experience is a fantastic option too, offering a few hours of high-octane fun behind the controls.
From tanks to top-tier luxury, the Supercar Driving Experiences at Sywell Aerodrome offer a completely different kind of thrill. You can get behind the wheel of iconic motors like Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins and more, speeding along the former runway of this historic WWII airfield.
It’s the perfect gift for any petrolhead, or a brilliant way to tick off a bucket-list dream. With professional instructors on hand, you’ll learn how to handle these powerful machines properly – and feel like a racing legend in the process.
For a completely different view of Northamptonshire, nothing compares to the peaceful exhilaration of a hot air balloon ride. Taking off from the stunning Lamport Hall, you’ll float gently above the rolling countryside, historic estates, and sleepy villages as the sun rises or sets.
It’s romantic, tranquil and breathtaking – ideal for anniversaries, special birthdays or simply a magical gift for someone who needs to get away from it all.
If speed and heights aren’t your thing, how about keeping both feet (firmly) on the ground with a classic Afternoon Tea Experience? Northampton has a selection of charming venues where you can indulge in this timeless British tradition, complete with finger sandwiches, fluffy scones and plenty of cake.
These experiences are perfect for catching up with friends, treating Mum, or just adding a bit of elegance to your day.
Sometimes, the best experience is simply doing… nothing. We also offers a range of spa and wellness experiences in and around Northampton, from peaceful retreats to rejuvenating treatments.
Whether you're gifting a bit of “me time” or planning a couples escape, these experiences are designed to leave you relaxed, refreshed, and ready to take on the world again – or at least the rest of the week.
All these experiences are available as gift vouchers, making them perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or last-minute gifts thanks to the instant email delivery option. Better still, many experiences offer flexible booking dates and the ability to exchange if your plans change.
From tank-driving madness to serene sky-high moments, there’s more to Northampton than you might expect – and we are your go-to for making those experiences happen.
