Spice UK is a multi-activity adventure, sports and social group with 15,000 members. It says its activities allow 'ordinary people' to do 'extraordinary things'.

The company organises social events, days out and weekends away for people who want to try their hand at everything from microlight flying to fire-eating.

Activity holidays include walking and tennis weekends, art and photography courses, as well as spa breaks. Also, skiing trips and murder mystery weekends.

Members, who pay a monthly or annual membership fee, receive a monthly newsletter and can book events on the Internet.
