About Virgin Experience Days:

Virgin Experience Days was launched in March 2001 under the name of Virgin Experience. Originally offering experiences to corporate clients as a way of incentivising staff and customers, the company rapidly expanded to bring the Virgin values of quality, innovation, value for money and fun to the consumer experience gift market.
The summer of 2003 was a real milestone for Virgin Experience. In our continual quest to bring the best experiences and unrivalled service, we joined forces with Acorne Sports. Founded in 1988, Acorne Sports is the original experience company and it’s their stamp of approval that confirms our pedigree and ability to deliver unforgettable experiences. Acorne ’s unrivalled reputation, knowledge and relationship with all of the featured centres made them the perfect partners for Virgin Experience, a company dedicated to making sure customers have the very best time. By teaming up, we are able to challenge the way every experience is provided and offer once-in-a-lifetime gifts backed up by friendly service staff with first-hand knowledge.

“A wonderful experience. Fantastic food. Highly trained friendly waitress. One or two areas which could be improved in my opinion - we were originally given another table's main course by mistake and therefore had to wait for our own order. At the changeover of shift we ordered coffee but this was forgotten about and left on the side. After approx. 30 minutes we realised that the new waiter had forgotten about it, & they quickly made us fresh comlimentary coffee with biscuits. Overall. however, it was a fabulous experience, and the food was superb. We have booked to go again!”

“Absolutely terrible experience ! Avoid Background: I had two Virgin Experience Days vouchers. One was for the climb the O2 the other was for a cocktail experience. Neither are now suitable, as my wife is pregnant. I contacted Virgin Experience Twitter team and asked about exchanging the vouchers. I was told this was possible, and that the expiry date of the new voucher would be the same as the date the original voucher (10 Nov). I received the voucher in the post yesterday, and the expiry date was the 10 October. I went back to double check my messages only to find that .... the message that the virgin experience team sent Via twitter, stating the expiry was 10th November, was deleted ! I have screenshot to prove this was sent to me. It is clear to me that the agent clearly noticed their error when reissuing the voucher and decided to delete the message .... rather than just admit they were wrong. Either that or they are trying to get me to pay an additional £20 to pay for an extend the expiry date. I would have no issue if I felt that this was a genuine mistake ... However, I find it absolutely disgraceful that my conversation history has been doctored, and is a clear failure on Virgin end ! This is not what I would expect by way of service. This is also the thoughts of the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) who have indicated they will investigate should I not reach a satisfactory outcome with Virgin (At this minute in time - this is very unlikely) Virgin claim that the message shows on their end - but will not share evidence to that effect or will they comment on the evidence that I have provided. I have asked for this to be escalated to a manager on two separate occasions, this has yet to happen. Virgin are not taking this serious ! I have lost all faith in their service and I would advice others to consider other providers before placing an order.”

hi Jay, Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we are very sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction. We have been in touch with our Customer Services Digital Media Team and as per their correspondence with yourself, we are sorry to hear that the tweet has disappeared from your message chain. Unfortunately we are unable to offer an explanation into why this has happened. However, we can confirm that the tweet is still visible on our platform and there has been no form of deletion our end. As a Virgin brand, we take our customer satisfaction and transparency extremely seriously. Therefore, we would never hesitate to uphold any offer of an extension and we can see that not only has this been granted, but we have also extended the expiry further, to make up for the administration error and any inconvenience caused. We can confirm that your new voucher has been sent to you via Next Day delivery, free of charge, so this should be with you very shortly. Once again, we are very sorry for any distress caused.

“Booked a day trip to guernsey for my birthday, in short don’t bother. The day trip which is being advertised is NOT a day trip. In actual fact the maximum amount of time you get in guernsey is 4 hours, which doesn’t include the time waiting to board the ferry to get back to Poole, and you have to be all booked in ready and waiting to leave at least 30 minutes before departure. It takes 22 minutes to get to the beaches in guernsey from the port, so just getting to the beach and back takes up a 3rd of your time before you’ve even spent any time there! A total of over 6 hours on the ferry, including 2 hours of waiting time each side, it was an extremely disappointing boring trip and I will NOT be booking with virgin experience days again. Extremely disappointed.”

Hi Amber, Many thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback, and we are sorry to hear of your disappointment. We always ensure our vouchers are as transparent as possible, and therefore advise of any availability restrictions or important information, both prior to purchase and upon activation. As a gentle reminder, we advise of the following under the 'Additional Details' tab on our website: "The experience duration includes approximately four hours spent ashore with a sailing time of between 2 hours 30 minutes and three hours, so please allow a full day." Once again, please accept our sincere apologies that the experience did not meet your expectations and please do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you need anything further.

“We visited the Helix Restaurant London as a very special Christmas present from my husband. After having visited Raffles in Singapore and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, my husband has now decided to visit as many iconic buildings as possible with a little celebratory afternoon tea. The Virgin Experience Day made this process simple and easy and the Helix staff were very attentive.”
