FAQs
Here's a few of our most frequently asked questions.
Can we just turn up?
Yes, but we highly recommend you book in advance or contact us before arriving on a whim as our availabilty differs every day.
Can I use my own equipment?
Yes. Your helmet must be full-face with a visor. Visors may be tinted but once our floodlights come on, clear visors are required. Race suits and gloves must be in good condition.
What happens in bad weather?
Karting continues in all weathers. We would only postpone karting if we are experiencing severe fog, lightning, flooding or heavy snowfall.
What about food and drinks?
We have an onsite cafe, The Lodge Coffee Shop, which is open on weekends and bank holidays serving hot food and drinks. Catering options are available at other times, please ask. We advise you to only eat after your karting session as eating beforehand may cause nausea.
Can I bring spectators?
Yes. There's viewing areas beside the pitlane, at the end of the main straight and on the first floor balcony.
Do I need a driving licence?
No, you don't need a driving licence. Every driver receives a full safety briefing and instructions on operating the karts. They're easy to operate and they're fully automatic.
Do I need to wear a balaclava?
Yes. For health, safety and hygiene reasons, all drivers must wear a balaclava under their helmet when karting. You are welcome to bring your own, or purchase one from reception for £4.
Is there parking onsite?
Yes. We have a big main car park and an overflow car park, both of which are free to use.
Can I use my Go-Pro?
You're welcome to record, as long as your camera is mounted to a shoulder mount. We cannot permit cameras mounted anywhere else, in the interest of safety. You can hire a shoulder harness for £10
Are dogs allowed?
No. For their safety and the safety of all visitors, dogs are not permitted on site. The only exception is registered guide and assistance dogs, which are always welcome.
