With Father’s Day coming up, here are some of my favourite gift ideas to treat your dad this year!
🚤 A trip on Tonbridge River Trips
We did this last year with my parents and two children, and it was such a lovely experience. The one-hour trip is a beautiful and relaxing way to see our wonderful town from a different perspective, spot local wildlife and enjoy the River Medway.
💆 A massage at Aquavie Boutique Spa
With so many treatments to choose from, there’s something for every dad – and you may even be tempted to book one for yourself!
🍽️ Lunch at one of our fantastic local pubs
From The Poacher & Partridge, The Kentish Rifleman, The Chaser Inn, The Plough, Leigh and the newly renovated The Never Say Never , there are plenty of great spots to enjoy a Father’s Day meal.
🥾 A local walk
Why not get out and about with the help of Walk Tonbridge and discover more of what our local area has to offer? Simon’s brilliantly documented walks showcase some of the best routes around, with more than 20 to choose from.
⛳ Tonbridge Driving Range
If your dad enjoys golf, why not treat him to some time on the range and let him tee off this Father’s Day?
🏎️ Brands Hatch, Brooklands Museum or Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands
For the car enthusiast, a visit to one of these fantastic attractions could be right up his street. Watch the action at Brands Hatch, get behind the wheel at Mercedes-Benz World, or explore an incredible collection of cars and aircraft at Brooklands Museum.
⚽🏏 A live sporting event
Whether it’s football, cricket or another favourite sport, seeing a match live can make for a memorable Father’s Day experience.
Whatever you choose, there are so many wonderful ways to celebrate and spend quality time together this Father’s Day.
I’d love to hear what you’ve got planned – let me know in the comments! 👇
