Detailed guide

Two outdoor circuits near Grantham

Karting at Ancaster Leisure uses a full 1,200-metre outdoor circuit and a separate 600-metre club track at Wood Lodge. The main track supports public practice and race formats, while other products use the appropriate circuit and running format.

The venue supplies helmets and overalls for karting. As an outdoor operation, sessions run with the conditions the operator considers safe, so follow any weather update attached to your booking.

Karts and driver access

  • Adult karts: the operator publishes 270cc karts for its adult products.
  • Junior karts: 200cc karts are used for younger-driver products.
  • Family and mixed practice: current main-circuit products start from age 10, while academy, junior and race products publish their own rules.
  • Twin-seater rides: passengers can start from age four when driven by an adult who holds a driving licence.

Choosing a format

Options include family or mixed practice, junior development and academy activity, and more structured race products. Do not apply the age limit from one format to another: select the session first and then check its current driver, group-size and experience requirements.

Before you visit

  • Book in advance: use the operator's current availability for the correct age group and format.
  • Arrive early: drivers are asked to arrive 30 minutes before their booked slot for check-in and preparation.
  • Dress for outdoors: use the operator's clothing and weather guidance even though helmets and overalls are supplied.
