Great facilities, great friendly staff Attended the BTCC for the weekend. Camped, and the facilities provided were good. Stayed with kids and they loved it and already asking to go again next year! Office staff are fantastic and friendly! I messed up with tickets and they sorted it all without any fuss. I’ve also been for driving experiences and they’re great and make you feel so welcome and make sure you have a great time regardless of your ability.

Knockhill - A Must Go!!! Family - Attended British Superbikes. First time at Knockhill, definitely be back for all racing! Easy to park and plenty of it. Superb facilities, from viewing, to toilets, to merchandising, to food - all first class. Decent viewing all around the track and up close to the track in many of those areas. My 13yr old also did the karting and LOVED it!!!!! Be back soon??
