The Bear Grylls Adventure in Birmingham - Challenge Voucher
If you’re an adventurous couple, why not enjoy a day out testing your physical and mental limits? The Bear Grylls Birmingham Adventure Experience for Two is an entirely unique experience that you’ll both remember forever – we can promise you that!
Kicking off with a Royal Marine inspired assault course, this experience is action-packed from the second it starts to the moment it finishes.

If that wasn't exciting enough, you’ll finish off with the terrifying Fear Zone… you’ll want to grip your loved one’s hand tightly as you’re plunged into darkness and the walls (quite literally!) start closing in on you.

Birmingham Food Tour
If you and your partner have a passion for food, why not gain a delicious new perspective on your city with a Birmingham Food Tour? During this four hour walking tour, you’ll discover Birmingham’s vibrant culture and fascinating history through the medium of taste – one moreish mouthful at a time.
Led by an expert local guide, you’ll wander past canals, through Victorian arcades, museums, town hall, markets, the bullring and Digbeth as you learn how the industrial revolution shaped this city’s food production, discover hidden gems, try delectable new gourmet delights, and learn why no-one does a balti like a Brummie.
You’ll visit at least six independent eateries, so there’ll be plenty of tastings for you both along the way – and with one stop off at a pub, you won’t go thirsty, either! There will be plenty of offerings from both British and international vendors, so there’s something for every palate and preference. Ideal for foodie couples.
Canal Tour of Birmingham
With 313 miles of canals, Birmingham has more waterways than Venice… and while it may not be quite as famous for love as the Italian city, a Birmingham Canal Tour will certainly give it a run for its money!
During this relaxing tour, you and your partner will climb aboard a charming narrowboat to admire the sights of the West Midlands canals – and away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets, you can sit back and enjoy some relaxing, intimate time together.
You’ll start off in the city centre, so there’ll be plenty of interesting sights to see (and people watching to do). You’ll sail past many of the city’s most famous attractions, including Birmingham’s iconic landmark, the Cube, and the immaculately restored industrial buildings, and cruise past historical sites like Brindley Place, Sherborne Wharf, and Gas Street Basin.
A Birmingham boat tour is a lovely way to enjoy some peace and respite in this big, busy city. If you’re looking for romance, you’ll find it here.
Cadbury World
If you or your other half has a sweet tooth, what could be better than enjoying a couples day out at Cadbury World, near Birmingham?
Just a few miles from the city is the famous village of Bournville, known to chocoholics around the country as the UK’s chocolate haven. During your super-sweet day out, you’ll learn about the history of chocolate, discover how Cadbury made a name for itself as one of the world’s best chocolate businesses, and learn tricks of the trade from master chocolatiers.
On this self-guided tour, you’ll journey through a chocolate wonderland on the Cadabra ride, make your own chocolates, and enjoy a 4D cinema experience – if you’ve always wanted to dive into a pool of chocolate, this is probably as close as you’ll get!
If that wasn't enough, you’ll step back in time to Bull Street in the 1820s, where you can browse the replica shops, before picking up some more goodies in the world’s largest Cadbury’s sweet shop. You’ll also get plenty of free chocolate to take home as a souvenir… or to eat together as you reminisce about your day.
