Newcastle has two contrasting go karting venues — TeamSport's multi-activity indoor electric circuit close to the city centre, and Karting North East's powerful 1200m outdoor circuit with 390cc karts in Sunderland.
Newcastle and the Tyne & Wear area have a strong indoor karting offering with TeamSport Newcastle as the headline venue. The city's reputation as a major stag and hen destination makes it one of the busiest TeamSport locations in the North of England — Friday and Saturday evenings book up well in advance.
The venue runs electric karts on an indoor circuit, catering for everything from spontaneous arrive & drive sessions mid-week to large group corporate events at weekends. The arrive & drive model means no pre-booking is strictly required for individuals, but groups of 6+ should always reserve in advance.
For stag parties: Newcastle is arguably the UK's premier stag do city, and karting is one of the default activity choices. Most stag packages in the city include an afternoon karting session followed by the evening on the Bigg Market or Quayside. Multi-group racing formats with a podium ceremony and championship points are available at corporate and event rates.
Getting there: accessible by Metro and car. Check the individual venue page for the postcode and nearest transport links.

500m track plus Combat Karts and VR.
1200m circuit with 390cc karts.
Newcastle upon Tyne has go karting options for both casual groups and more serious drivers. TeamSport Newcastle on Scotswood Road combines a 500m electric circuit with Combat Karts, VR and bowling — making it ideal for groups wanting a full activity day. Karting North East in Sunderland offers a faster, more competitive outdoor experience on a 1200m circuit with 390cc karts.
Within 25 miles of Newcastle there are 3 indoor venues and 1 outdoor circuit. Indoor tracks run whatever the weather, which makes them the safer choice for a booking made weeks ahead. Outdoor circuits are generally longer and faster, and reward a driver who wants to build a lap rather than snatch one.
The longest circuit near Newcastle is Karting North East at 1200m, 11.9 miles out.
Of the 4 venues within reach of Newcastle, 2 run electric karts and 2 run petrol. Electric karts are quieter and produce no fumes, which matters in an enclosed building, and deliver their power instantly. Petrol karts are louder and generally faster at the top end, which is why most of the longer outdoor circuits still use them.
Whichever you pick, book ahead — weekend and evening slots at the Newcastle venues go days in advance — and arrive about 15 minutes early, as safety briefings are compulsory and latecomers can lose their session. Race suits and helmets are provided everywhere; bring flat shoes and tie long hair back.
