There are 7 karting venues within about 55 miles of Edinburgh, of which 5 race indoors — the ones that will still be running whatever the weather does in December. The closest to the city is Xtreme Karting Edinburgh, about 8.5 miles out.
If the plan is race first and eat afterwards, 5 of the indoor venues near Edinburgh serve food on site — Xtreme Karting Edinburgh, Xtreme Karting Falkirk, TeamSport Dundee among them. That matters more than it sounds: the alternative is moving a party of twenty across a city centre on a December evening, which is where these nights usually lose an hour.
For a group that actually wants the racing rather than the occasion, the longest circuit in range is Larkhall Circuit at 1140m. It is outdoors, so it is a fine choice for a keen team and a poor one for a whole department on a wet Friday.

How early to book in Edinburgh
