Still need to get dad something special on Sunday 6 September? Then check out this great list of gift ideas for Father’s Day.
Stay and play package
For the month of September you can treat dad to a staycation at Quest Springfield.
Gift vouchers are available for this Spring deal which is valid for the entire month of September and includes one nights’ accommodation for two in a self-contained one bedroom apartment (a two bedroom upgrade is available at an added cost), a complementary welcome treat on arrival and a complimentary beer tasting paddle at Ballistic Springfield Brewery, Bar and Kitchen which is walking distance from the hotel.
