Before you leave home: The track is right on top of the Mendip hills and if the weather closes in it can get very cold and wet! We suggest that you bring additional clothing and a brolly which you can leave in your car just a short walk from the track. Whilst you can sit on the grass banks around the track you may like to bring deck chairs as well as a picnic blanket.

When you arrive: An afternoon at The Mendips Raceway is a family occasion so whether you are 3 or 93 you will feel at home!

We have some playground equipment for the younger ones but would ask that you stay with them whilst that are using it.

For those with disabilities we have an area reserved where you can watch the action in comfort.

Burgers and pork rolls are on sale along with soft drinks, beer and cider. Ice cream and lollipops are also there for you to enjoy.

We have a track shop where you can purchase clothing, photos and other memorabilia to remember your day and hopefully remind you to return!

Before the start of each race, our commentator will give you a brief overview of the Formula and the background to the race itself. Your program will also provide you with a short summary. You’ll see from your program that we try to pack a lot into the afternoon so that you get to see as much action as possible.

If you’re visiting for the first time, it’s easy to get bamboozled by the pace of the event and the phrases used to describe what’s happening! If you are not sure what’s happening just ask the person standing next to you – we’re a friendly bunch and very happy to make sure that your visit is made as enjoyable as possible.

When you get home: We are always looking for ways to improve the experience for first time visitors so please let us know – “how was it for you?”
