Description

Great Away Days has a range of brilliant games for you to choose from and experience. From Quad Biking to Clay Pigeon Shooting, you can celebrate any occasion and bring your friends along for the ride! From a birthday party, stag or hen do, or a team-building event to get everyone in the office outdoors for some fresh country air! Great Away Days started when the owners, James and Suzie, decided to expand into a new business as part of a broad farm-diversification plan, and thus turned it into what it is today. Why not hop on a quad bike and take it for a spin, test your accuracy skills with clay pigeon shooting, or play a round of nine wacky games in the Mini Highland Experience. Situated in the beautiful Scottish countryside near Edinburgh, these events are the perfect way to tear yourself away from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy some fun outdoor activities!
