We had an 8th birthday party here, first group in. Emily, jack and kem were wonderful. Great party, staff helpful, informative and really took all the strain out of sorting a party for 11 screaming 8-11 year old girls. Drinks for adults reasonably priced, food for children good quality. Seems a little expensive when booking, however, worth every penny. Definitely going again for future parties. Marshals Emily and Jack are patient and great with the kids, Kem seems to do everything you need to make the party run smoothly. Thank you Quasar.

Visited the circuit with a group of colleagues as a works ‘outing’. Staff were fantastic throughout and the venue was perfect for a work evening out. Hire of helmet cameras is a must, so you can relive the event afterwards!
