Karting at The March Hare Leisure Centre
The next level of karting, 35–40mph top speed, and a technical track that’s tested touring car champions.
Please note: Karting with us has a minimum age of 16 and must be pre-booked.
If you’ve raced indoor karts and loved the thrills, spills and speed but perhaps not the fumes or the lack of hospitality, then now’s the time to step up to outdoor racing at our unique Worcestershire venue.
For over 30 years, we’ve hosted thousands of groups – from stag and hen parties to birthdays, team socials, and corporate events. Every booking is exclusive to your group, meaning no mixing with stangers and plenty of space to enjoy your racing in the way it should be: competitive, safe, fun, and memorable.
Our circuit has tested drivers of every level – from stag groups on their first race to touring car champion Matt Neal, F1 veteran Anthony Davidson, and local talent Haydn Chance. But most importantly, it has delivered brilliant racing and lasting memories for thousands of everyday drivers just like you.
The Karts
Our British-built Biz Evo 3 GX200 Honda-powered karts reach speeds of up to 40mph, and with average lap times around 18 seconds you’ll experience intense, close racing that’s hard work but hugely rewarding. With only 4 karts on track at a time (occasionally 5), everyone gets the room they need for quick laps and proper overtakes.
We aim for 2 tenths of a second maximum difference between karts through meticulous maintenance, so racing is fair and every driver gets a true shot at glory.
The Circuit
Our circuit features a mix of cambers and challenging corners, including a swooping downhill section. It’s a genuine test of skill and stamina, described as “technical” by touring car champion Matt Neal.
Trackside marshals, a full race light system, and Tag Heuer Supersport timing ensure a professional race experience. Results are printed and available in our covered viewing gallery.
We are NKA certified and inspected every year to the latest safety standards, giving you peace of mind on every lap.
Spectators have plenty of great vantage points – trackside, at the start grid, and high up on the banking.

Grand Prix
Everyone starts with a 5-minute practice session, then competes in 4x head-to-head 6-lap races. Each driver races in all 4 karts for fairness. The top 4 scorers go through to a Grand Final to decide the medals – with bubbly sprayed on the podium!

Our ultimate format. A practice session, followed by a full sequence of heats, semis, and a Grand Final. Medals and bubbly for the top drivers – a true championship feel.
