Tattershall Karting Centre
About Tattershall Karting Centre
Tattershall Karting Centre is a hidden gem for motorsport fans in Lincolnshire. Tucked away in beautiful woodlands just moments from the popular Tattershall Lakes Country Park, this venue offers a raw and authentic racing experience. Unlike polished indoor circuits, this is a "driver's track" set in nature, featuring a massive 850-meter asphalt layout that winds through the trees. It is a favorite for holidaymakers, stag parties, and petrolheads looking for high-speed thrills on a wide, technical circuit. Whether you are staying at the nearby resort or just visiting for the day, Tattershall Karting Centre delivers the noise, speed, and atmosphere of real outdoor racing.

Detailed guide
The Track Layout
The circuit is renowned for its length and setting.
- The "Woodland" Circuit: Racing here feels like a rally stage. The track is surrounded by trees, giving it a unique tunnel-vision effect at speed.
- Scale: At approx. 850 meters, it allows for high top speeds on the straights and plenty of overtaking opportunities in the braking zones.
- Conditions: As an outdoor track, grip levels change with the weather. A dry line offers immense grip, while a wet track turns the technical corners into a drifting challenge.
The Karts
The centre operates a fleet of robust gas-powered karts that suit the large outdoor track.
- Adult Karts (200cc): Classic gas karts that offer heavy steering and responsive throttle control. They are fast, loud, and perfect for the long outdoor straights.
- Junior Karts: Designed for drivers aged 8 years and older. These are safe, speed-restricted versions that allow younger racers to experience the full track.
- Twin-Seaters: A fantastic option for families. An adult can drive while a younger child (who isn't old enough to drive alone) rides as a passenger to experience the thrill safely.
Facilities & Location
- Clubhouse: A rustic base for signing in and getting your safety briefing.
- Proximity: The track is practically on the doorstep of Tattershall Lakes and Tattershall Castle, making it an easy addition to your holiday itinerary.
- Food: While there are basic amenities on-site, most visitors head to the nearby bars and restaurants at Tattershall Lakes (like The Spitfire Bar) for a full meal after racing.
Events
- Grand Prix: The ultimate package for groups (Stags, Hens, Corporate). Includes practice, qualifying heats, and a grid-start final to crown the champion.
- Owner Drivers: The track is a serious motorsport hub, often hosting "GX-UK" owner-driver series, which ensures the track surface is maintained to a competitive standard.
