Virgin Experience Days Promo Codes & Deals

Amid the endless enthusiasm of gift-giving websites, Virgin Experience Days has carved out its own niche: the promise that a quick click can buy not a thing, but a memory. Whether it’s the edge-of-your-comfort-zone rush of dangling from a zipline or the oddly transactional charm of making afternoon tea feel like an event, the site sells moments rather than objects. And depending on your taste (and tolerance for curated joy), those moments range from delightfully novel to gently absurd.

The Business of Selling Fun

Virgin Experience Days operates less like a traditional retailer and more like an overly eager life coach with access to a booking system. Their catalog spans over 4,000 experiences - from drifting in a muscle car to feeding penguins or hosting a home date night, because romance now comes with a full admin backend.

Their website is densely layered and algorithmically cheerful. Everything is offered in an "Experience Category," like it’s trying to reassure you that wine tasting and skydiving really do belong on the same menu, somewhere between "Relaxation Guru" and "Thrill Seeker." The UI is busy to the point of cheerful anarchy, but it does get the job done.

The Highlights (and Lowlights)

If you’ve daydreamed about a Michelin meal, a Formula 1 fantasy lap, or floating vaguely upward in a hot air balloon while someone hands you prosecco, you’ll likely find it here. Often with moderate discounts - think 20–35% off - making it just cheap enough to feel like a deal, but still pricey enough you might question your priorities.

The theme park bundles are reliably popular. £116 gets four people into LEGOLAND at a discount, and potentially some nostalgia with a side of queue management. At the other end are luxury tea rituals at Fortnum & Mason or Harrods, where the finger sandwiches are dainty, the atmosphere refined, and the sense that you're cosplaying aristocracy is gently inescapable. Yes, it’s £140 for two - but at least you’ll have a story involving clotted cream.

A few experiences fall into the classic category of "good on paper, slightly surreal in practice." Take the Pygmy Goat Yoga Experience. Yes, it’s real. Yes, people do pay for it. And no, the goats don’t observe proper yoga etiquette. But if your idea of bliss involves Downward Dog with actual animals underfoot, this may be for you.

Not Every Memory Has to Be Core

The catalog leans heavily into the "bucket list" narrative, but a lot of the offerings are perfectly enjoyable without being life-altering. Most people won’t emerge from an escape room with a new worldview, but they’ll at least have argued with their friends in a different setting.

Also on offer: glamping breaks that mostly resemble camping with better PR; Formula driving experiences where speed is tempered by safety briefings; and helicopter rides - still objectively cool, even if hearing protection slightly ruins the Instagram moment.

The Verdict: A Soft Yes (With Filters On)

Virgin Experience Days isn't revolutionising how we live. But it's not trying to. The big win here is the simplicity: a polished, reasonably reliable platform for gifting people something to do instead of something to own. It’s thoughtful without being too personal, flexible without being vague, and often - importantly - returnable. Gift-giving, outsourced and streamlined.

And if your recipient doesn’t fancy goat yoga or skydiving? They can exchange it easily. Which, in the realm of modern gifting, is right up there with love and thoughtfulness - just with an expiry date.
