Whilton Mill Karting

Outdoor karting near Daventry

Whilton Mill Karting operates three floodlit outdoor configurations at Whilton Locks. The 450-metre Mill, 960-metre National and 1,200-metre International circuits allow the venue to separate first drives, public racing and more advanced activity.

Arrive-and-drive routes

• Adult National sessions: drivers aged 14 and over from 1.4 metres can use 390cc BirelArt N35 karts for timed 20-minute sessions.
• International sessions: selected products provide two 20-minute runs on the full 1,200-metre configuration.
• Bambino and cadet: novice and intermediate programmes on the Mill Circuit separate ages six to eight and nine to 11, with instructor progression.
• Mill Circuit adults: a lower-speed 200cc route begins at age 12 from a published height of 1.55 metres.

Racing and development

• Open races: Sprint, Ultra GP and team endurance formats use structured practice, heats or finals on the National layout.
• Academy: modules combine track walks, coaching, simulator work, mechanics and engineering for Bambino, cadet and junior drivers.
• Owner practice: suitable private karts use scheduled Wednesday sessions on the International Circuit with advance booking and full racewear.
• Wider venue: the Break Pad restaurant, bar, corporate events and other outdoor activities support group visits.

Before travelling

• Match the exact product: age, height, engine, circuit and prior sign-off differ between novice, intermediate and adult sessions.
• Book in advance: public products and owner practice are timetable-led, and owner-drivers cannot turn up and pay on the day.
• Outdoor preparation: weather affects grip and clothing; confirm whether gloves, balaclava, suit and helmet are included with the chosen format.
• No directory booking: this listing contains no external Whilton Mill reservation or checkout button.
