Reviews
My son celebrated his 14th b’day here with his friends. We all had a great time and really enjoyed it. Paintball on the other side can be a bit rough but still fun. They are all marine cadets so, they really enjoyed. Staff were wonderful.

Brilliant karting facilities, we travel from derby to go here as it caters from age 8 and above. Both husband and kids enjoy it, we usually take the kids as a birthday treat as they are complete petrol heads.

Went as a family day out for my cousins birthday, 10 of us in all. What a brilliant afternoon it was, weather was really good to us and staff were super friendly. Just the 10 of us on the one track racing each other for two 15 min sessions as they have a GP track as well. May not seem much, but trust me after 15 mins you’ll be glad of a break. Carts stick like glue to the track and it takes a few laps to realise the brakes are not so important if you plan your racing line and back off the gas a bit! You also come to realise who in the group are the ones that are just there for the laugh but then seem to flip into “Hamilton” mode and will do anything to stay in front of you! Defo going back and worth every penny. Thank you.
