1st day at ancaster karting
Will definitely be back again great track friendly service.
My son even got a one on one coaching with the owner
Nigel Colam
It isn’t just a go-kart track here! There are so many activities we had no idea about.
Bowling, Archery, Quad Biking, Paintball, Airsoft and Laser Tag! It’s a one stop enjoyment centre! Prices are a little steep..but the staff are friendly, parking is easy and you can purchase food and drink including alcoholic beverages. Will be returning for sure!
Lorna Render
I can understand why they are award winners! Only out on the brooklands (maybe club!) track but that was brilliant!
Gavin Darby
