A fantastic experience which gives a great insite into what's involved in flying a commercial aircraft. Many thanks to Gary who was very informative and professional especially when dealing with a few technical issues within the flight simulator itself. I would highly recommend this experience to any aviation enthusiast!

Porsche Experience Centre

The Porsche Experience Centre is situated at Silverstone Circuit, the home of British motorsport, in the heart of England. Located next to Hangar Straight, we are on the site of the WRC Rally of Great Britain Special Stage used in the late 1990s. The specially designed track incorporates six elements; Handling Circuit, The Straights, Kick Plate, Ice Hill, Low Friction and Off-Road circuits. This environment enables visitors to be guided through a variety of different situations in wet and dry conditions, as well as simulating ice and snow driving with the use of specially constructed surfaces. The driving experiences are designed to focus on a particular type of driving, model of Porsche or driving environment. Whether you are hoping to attain new skills, polish up some old ones or just have a great time driving, we can help find the right experience for you.

Had an excellent day at the Porsche Driving Experience. Hosted by Kay and Keith who were great fun and out us both at ease in the cars. Food was nice and the driving experience was brilliant; Kat was a great instructor and made me feel like I wasn’t a complete duffer. At the end of the day Kat drove me around the track and she is an amazing driver and I realized that I had been pootling around the track in reality. Can’t recommend the day enough and will be back again.

Trapp'd Corby

Locked inside one of our amazing themed rooms, the task is simple - escape within 60 minutes or face being TRAPP'D forever!

Reviewed By 690rial

We were greeted by Phil our games master who was very welcoming. Having done quite a few Trapp'd rooms we were quite prepared for the themeing to fairly good and atmospheric. The puzzles were logical and flowed nicely with the storyline. A really good use of the space available. Phil was a really good GM and read our progress well and only communicated with us when he saw signs of us not making progress with particular puzzles. Looking forward to going again soon!

I had a great experience today renting a KTM Super Duke 1290 GT from Spyder Motorcycles. In the days before I arrived Lynn covered all paperwork and everything was ready to go when I arrived. The KTM is a current model in meticulous, as-new condition. Liz talked me off my jitters and Mark spent time patiently discussing my riding experience, the key features of the SDGT, and recommending a route with a mix of riding conditions between Silverstone and the Cotswolds. When I returned he debriefed me on the pros and cons of the bike. KTM - take note. I have been thinking about this bike but could not find one to demo in my home market of New York City. I visit England frequently for work and came to Silverstone as this is one of approximately two places on earth that rent the Super Duke GT. As a result of the experience at Spyder I'll be ordering and SDGT when I get back to the States next week.

been to Northampton rooms today and done molten creek mine with a group of friend, and yes we manage to escape just in 57.35 and came out rather dusty especially one friend who had dust all down her back but what mines aren’t so added to the atmosphere to make it all the more fun, so make sure to wear old clothes, Dan our host was brilliant very friendly from the moment we arrived to leaving, done a great intro and also gave a few helpful hints when most needed, and took photos with all our phones at the end for us, so thank you Dan for being a great host
