Many people dream of being rich and famous and living the high life of glitz and glamour. While for many of us it will remain a mere dream, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy a taste of the high life without the millionaire’s salary. If you want to get away from the daily grind, here are five experiences to make you feel like a VIP:

Champagne tasting

Champagne is the drink of choice for many a celebration and is quaffed in huge quantities by the rich and famous. If you want to find out more about the famous drink and impress your friends with your knowledge of the finer points of this fine tipple, then Champagne Tasting sessions will arm you with plenty of knowledge to impart on others next time you’re at a swanky party. Plus, you’ll get to spend an afternoon sipping the good stuff and trying different varieties, which certainly beats the bargain bottle of bubbly from your local supermarket.

Spa days

Guilt-free indulgence, a day or weekend trip to a luxurious spa will leave you feeling healthy and refreshed even if you’ve been quaffing champagne and dining out on fine foods as well. Being pampered by a professional is the perfect way to make you feel special and spending the day enjoying massages and facials before relaxing in a hot tub is a surefire way to make you feel like a very important person indeed.

Helicopter ride

From horse racing tracks to music festivals, the helicopter seems to be the transport of choice for celebrities looking to beat the traffic and make an entrance in style. You can see what all the fuss is about and simply enjoy the thrill of the ride with a helicopter tour, taking in some incredible sights along the way, whether you want to enjoy a serene swoop across the countryside or a sightseeing tour over London’s famous skyline.

Supercar driving experience

Nothing says ‘money and power’ like a fast car. Playthings and status symbols for the wealthy, supercars are a luxurious way to travel. But the finest automobiles on the planet were built for more than just posing and you can really put their power to the test at a range of driving experience days which give you the chance to put your pedal to the metal in a high range Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini or classic car of your choice.

Enjoy a glamourous photoshoot

Getting snapped by the paparazzi may seem like a grind for the modern day celebrity, but there are plenty of them who love to lay on the style in front of the camera. Cover star photoshoots may be reserved for the beautiful people but you can still get a taste of the glamour of being photographed by professionals with a deluxe makeover and shoot at a pro studio, for star treatment and pictures you can treasure.
