Reviews
We went bowling at Ancaster Leisure and had a great time. All the lanes are set up remotely so no mistakes when entering names ;-). We got there really early and so walked 2 mins to the airsoft and paintball building and was amazed to find a shop with pistols, rifles in pellet and airsoft with a whole lot of clothing to purchase too! Absolute gem of a place so if you need and spares or want to purchase a new weapon or jazz up your airsoft gear pop into this place.

Our lad had his football teams xmas party here couple weeks ago, they did 2 15 min sessions, it was wet, raining and cold but the staff were absolutely brilliant, boys all well looked after.
Couldn’t of asked for a better evening, just better weather!!

Good track but had a problem with my kart during qualifying, meaning I was at the back of the grid (the speed limiter nut was sticking out); and then there was a random 1 minute 40 second lap half way through which never happened, causing me to lose 4 places although I was never overtaken and I overtook a lot of people – possibly something wrong with the system after moving karts but was a shame and was a bit gutting to hear my position at the end.
Without these problems it would have been 5* because the staff were great and the circuit is good.
