If you know someone who has a favourite stadium but has only ever been there to watch a game then a stadium tour is an excellent present. The ability to go right behind the scenes, to the changing rooms, players area, press box and right out into the arena is something that only a stadium tour will give you.

Stadium tours are best known at football stadiums such as Old Trafford, The Emirates, Anfield or the national stadium of Wembley, but it is less known that you can also have a venue tour of a motorspot track such as Silverstone or the horse race course of Newmarket.

Head to Old Trafford and see the warm-up-room where Rooney and Berbatov warm up with a football. At Anfield you have the chance to touch that all important “This is Anfield sign”. At the Emirates Stadium walk down the tunnel and feel like an Arsenal player. Silverstone gives you the opportunity to stand on the podium and imagine celebrating winning a race.

A stadium tour really is a fantastic present not just for the kids in your life but for anyone who would be interested to see how these modern venues work. Tours start at around £10 so make an inexpensive gift so you can go along and enjoy the tour as well!
