Dads rule in Staffordshire this Father's Day

Whether it's gardening or classic cars, water sports or aerial extreme, why not treat your dearest dad to a truly memorable day out in Staffordshire this Father's Day.

For Action Hero Dads
Staffordshire is home to the UK's leading theme parks and some of the largest adventure playgrounds, including Go Ape, Waterworld, Alton Towers, Drayton Manor Park and SnowDome. For dads with a head for heights, Aerial Extreme at Trentham Estate - the ultimate high wire adventure course - is offering free entry for dads on Father's Day. Peak Pursuits on Tittesworth Water offers the ultimate adrenalin rush for every Action Hero Dad, with mountain biking, kayaking and canoeing.

For Cultured Dads
Churnet Valley Railway has plenty to offer the father who longs for the nostalgia of a steam railway journey. For just £10 dads can experience the joys of a steam train journey through the beautiful Staffordshire Moorlands.

History enthusiasts can visit the Potteries - an integral part of Staffordshire's heritage where the Wedgwood Visitor Centre and Museum offers an enthralling experience with exhibitions, factory tours and a special Super Dads Paper Plane Making event. Stafford Castle provides a glimpse of culinary delights of the past with its ‘Food Through the Ages' exhibition and The Potteries Museum is showcasing fifty pieces of The Staffordshire Hoard collection until 27 June.

For Easy-going Dads
Dads keen to relax and engage in some general fun activities can find a Giant Scalextric Challenge in the Shopping Village at Trentham. On Saturday 19th June an Inflatable Penalty Shoot Out will take pride of place in the Shopping Village - a great opportunity for aspiring ‘Beckhams' to take on the kids. For those looking to bond in the great outdoors, Trentham Monkey Forest is holding a ‘Sleepover' on Saturday 19th June to raise funds for the children's charity ‘Giant Sleepover'.

For Dads Who Love the Great Outdoors
For keen gardeners, Staffordshire also boasts a blooming range of gardens, including Biddulph Grange Garden, a National Trust garden, Bridgemere Garden World and Stapeley Water Gardens. Here, dads can discover new planting ideas and uncover a new world of flowers and borders.

Trentham Gardens' Transport Festival in the Garden is ideal for dads keen to sit behind the wheel of cars and enjoy the 1,000 classic, contemporary and rare cars on display.

Dads can relax on two wheels with the whole family and find peace and tranquility cycling through the acres of ancient Staffordshire forest or join the leisurely cycle ride at Ford Green Hall.
