Finlandia Vodka
Sponsors of the Finlandia Vodka Adventure Stage and Bar
The clean, crisp taste of Finlandia comes from all the natural elements that make up our Vodka. Our pure glacial spring water requires no additional treatment or processing, because it slowly trickles through a 10,000 year old glacial moraine, leaving behind virtually every impurity as it goes. This water is from the protected Rajamaki spring in Finland – from nature to bottle, nowhere along the way do we alter the water’s purity or integrity.
In Northern Finland, the Midnight Sun shines for 73 straight days during the summer months, this natural phenomenon provides a constant growing period for our finest six-row barley. This premium grain has very low amounts of oils, resulting in Finlandia’s clean crisp taste.
Keep your judgement pure. Drink responsibly.

Go Ape
Go Ape is the UK’s No.1 Forest Adventure. We are the multi-award winning tree-top forest adventure that everyone’s talking about.
We take one lush, green forest and a healthy dollop of breathtaking scenery; blend with a smattering of tree-top high wires, tricky crossings (using ladders, walkways, bridges and tunnels made of wood, rope and super-strong wire) and wind-in-your-face zip wires; and finish off with a liberal dose of people in search of their inner Tarzan.
And we’re branching out. New to the Go Ape family is our epic Forest Segway adventure, a Junior Tree Top Adventure for the under 10’s and biking in the forest.
