Amazing experience with the family. Got as a Christmas present to have the F1 experience. It blew my socks off. For only £14 PP it’s a must do. This is one of the only venues in the country where you are allowed behind the wheel of a F1 car. Amazing experience. My son who has just turned 6 was even given a go, although we wouldn’t let him go over 70MPH. These F1 drivers really should be recognised as athletes. Strenuous stuff, but really exhilarating. 100% recommend.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 6–11 who want a high-energy motorsport birthday party or one-off karting experience. The staff energy and F1 experience element genuinely impress. Pre-booking is non-negotiable — walk-ins are not accepted. Confirm which venue and date applies to your booking at the time of reservation.

Just had our sons party with them yesterday, they are very well organised and know exactly what they are doing. Highly recommended, the kids all had fun. As good as they were, one of their team, AK, was truly brilliant with his energy and enthusiasm and really made the whole event for everyone. Thank you.
