The ultimate Yorkshire Father’s Day gift guide

Dad’s – officially the most difficult people to buy a gift for, so Father’s Day is a bit of a nightmare, right? No fear, here is the ultimate Yorkshire gift guide for Father’s Day…

Flying lessons
Give your dad the opportunity of a lifetime and treat him to a flying lesson or two. There’s a few flying clubs in Yorkshire for you to choose from, including Sherburn Aero Club, who offer a range of experience flights. It is going to cost you though, for a 30-minute experience, you’ll be paying £74.50, or £144 for an hour. See the full list here.

Stadium tours
Treat your dad to a stadium tour for his Father’s Day present. The home of Leeds United, Elland Road, even run stadium tours on the day of a home game, giving visitors the chance to see what happens behind-the-scenes.
