Father’s Day Experiences as Unique as Your Dad

I’m sure that your dad would agree that he doesn’t need another mug this Father’s Day. The same goes for books and socks and chocolates! Whilst a nice gesture, these gifts often end up at the back of the cupboard in a few weeks time.

This time, why not gift him a Father’s Day experience present that’s unlike any other. It’s not everyday you get to drive an 8-tonne digger afterall!

Instead of a physical gift, book a JCB Digger Driving experience for your dad this Father’s Day, or choose something else from our list of outdoor activities.

What Makes Driving a Digger The Perfect Father’s Day Experience Present

Driving a JCB digger with a backhoe makes for an excellent experience gift.

Here are four legitimate reasons why it’s (8-tonne times) harder for your Dad to say no to a digger driving experience:

• It’s a completely unexpected and unique Father’s Day experience.
• It’s entirely hands-on so there’s no watching from the sidelines. Your Dad gets to get into the action from the moment you arrive.
• It’s an unadulterated experience with permission to get dirty.
• It makes memories beyond physical clutter.

What Driving An 8 Tonne Digger Is Really Like

Open the cab door of our 8-tonne Tonka toy, or our vintage JCB 3CX Digger, and there’s an abundance of levers, joysticks, and buttons.

After receiving a safety briefing and some guidance from our experienced instructors (don’t worry, we’ll keep it short), you’ll be ready to command this mighty machine. 

With the slightest movement, you can lift scoops of earth, swing the arm, and dig trenches. The feeling is empowering and very satisfying, trust us!

How These Unique Father’s Day Experiences Create Lasting Memories

Personalised gifts are great and will be appreciated, but few things come close to spending a quality day out on Father’s Day with your old man. Because, unlike shirts, socks and aftershave, this unique Father’s Day experience isn’t something he’ll forget.

• It becomes a story: Your Dad may not be able to stop talking about his digger driving abilities.
• It’s something you can do together: If you choose to accompany him, either to watch and record or join in, it’s the perfect way to spend time with him!

Make this Father’s Day one to remember by booking a JCB digger driving experience. You can also combine it with our other outdoor activities and make it a full day out on Father’s Day. 

How about you also book Archery, Axe Throwing or Clay Pigeon Shooting to top of the day? Or if your dad would prefer to stick to the driving experiences, you could let him take the wheel of a Land Rover.

Pick the activities, or buy him a voucher so he can choose himself! He’s sure to love this Father’s Day experience present.
