Fun Family Days Out

Family Karting Day

Buckmore Park, Go Kart Racing

To experience the thrill of real outdoor Karting, head for Chatham's 1200m Buckmore Park Outdoor Kart Circuit, just off junction 3 of the M2.

It’s where British F1 sensation Lewis Hamilton learnt his trade and was discovered by McLaren in 1996.

A session at Buckmore will be a day to remember as you follow in the footsteps of British F1 drivers Lewis Hamilton, Jenson Button and Johnny Herbert - all of whom learnt their trade here as youngsters.

On various days throughout the year, Buckmore Park organises a Have A Go Family Karting Days with separate 15 minute sessions on 3 different outdoor circuits for ages 4-7 (6 mph electric karts), 8-11 (20mph petrol karts), 12-16 (40mph petrol karts) and 16+ (mums and dads - 70mph petrol karts).
