After hosting SRK Championship for round 4 these guys were fantastic. Very friendly team with great communication and meeting every request. Karts were looked after and fairly evenly matched. The track is fantastic to drive in the wet! Thanks to all the team for having us.

So it was half term and the hubby wanted to do something with our 2 boys aged 16 & 17 before they went back to school. It was a 'turn up and drive' deal that the 3 of them did. The staff were very friendly and the boys had a great time. One did feel motion sickness after their first 15 minute session so say the next one out. A member of staff did check if he was ok and said he too suffered from it so not to worry. Because a session was missed, I asked if we could let our other son take his turn instead by going 3 times and it was no problem. Sadly, when the 3rd session was to start, it began to rain really hard so decided to not go, but the staff were OK and had no problem in refunding the money for the one session. A good time was definitely had by all and would highly recommend, and will definitely go back again.

Glad your husband and son enjoyed their session (albeit for the spot of motion sickness). Hopefully the rain will stay away for your next visit!

Well managed, safe and tidy experience. Kids enjoyed and reasonably priced. However, we had two very poor experiences of rude staff. One in the diner, one in the office area. The customer is early never right, even for simply requiring a tea without milk.."Thats not how we.make tea er". Oh dear!! Get some customer service training.

We had a company event here with customers and we all had a great time. Safety, carts, circuit and food were all of the highest quality. Could not fault any part of the day from a very professional outfit. Looking forward to going again.

Very friendly, professional circuit. We had the 270 karts which were quick and well tuned. Quick, no fuss briefing and then straight out on track. Good time had by all! Recommend.

Attended a pre-booked karting session on a cold Saturday morning with two children. They were taken to the karts after registration and a safety briefing and over the next two hours they were shown and taught the best ways to race karts. Advised on handling the karts and asked to study the track.
Excellent attention to detail from the instructors bearing in mind there were a group of mixed abilities. They took my two with limited experience and taught them lots whilst still being able to race and do timed laps.
Lap times published on the circuit website so those of the family who didn't attend could see their performance. It was a cold day so I sat in the Bayford Meadows diner and enjoyed a reasonably price hot chocolate and breakfast bap. Service in the diner was a bit hurried and lacking some service but the lady told someone else she was busy and on her own. Do not let this detract you from the brilliance of the karting team (the main reason for going).
I left with the same buzz as the kids did, and wanting to get a group of friends together to book ourselves some time out on the track too!
Thank you for the attention and tuition from the team. Easy to find, with lots of free parking and helmets, gloves and overalls provided free!

Visited with friends, nine in total. From the ease of booking to arriving at the venue we were made very welcome. All of the staff were friendly and attentive, including those in the cafe. After kitting us out with racing clothes, helmet gloves, we had a short safety briefing then it was onto the track. The track is large with plenty of bends and ample room to overtake. We had qualifying then two 10 lap races. All in all I can safely say that we all really enjoyed ourselves. Well done and thank you to all involved at the circuit for making it an enjoyable afternoon. Will definitely return.

We booked Bayford medows for a joint 30th surprise. The offers they had for times and what you can do were brilliant. The booking process was so quick and easy. When calling up the administration team were polite and answered all our question. Even when we had to make a last minute change they were brilliant.
On the day we arrived and nothing was too much trouble. We wanted to take lots of pictures with the birthday boys and the staff even gave us suggestions. They were so accommodating.
The circuit was brilliant, we even had someone taking on track photos which could be downloaded for free in a few days.
During a break between races we were offered water. Again the staff were brilliant, so down to earth which really added to the experience. The atmosphere was very relaxed and aimed at us having an enjoyable experience.
At the end of our time we were given our results and as an added bonus and to our surprise the top 3 were given a glass block. This was amazing again really adding to the experience.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. With the amount they have to offer it was worth every penny.
