Grand Pier Go-Karts

About Grand Pier Go-Karts

This is unlike anything else in the directory: a two-level indoor go-kart track built on the Grand Pier at Weston-super-Mare, jutting out over the Bristol Channel. Karting on a Victorian seaside pier is a genuinely unusual proposition.

The Circuit

The track runs to 300 metres across two levels, indoors, in what the pier calls a Glo-Kart format. Kart specifications and top speeds were not published at the time of writing, so we have not listed any.

Set expectations accordingly: this is a family attraction on an amusement pier rather than a dedicated race circuit. If you want lap times and a competitive grid, the outdoor circuits inland will serve you far better. If you want karting as part of a seaside day out, it is hard to beat.

Who Should Visit

Minimum ages and heights were not published, so check with the pier before travelling with young children.

It suits families and holidaymakers rather than serious drivers — the karting sits alongside the rest of the pier's amusements, so it works as one part of a day rather than the reason for the trip.

Planning Your Visit

The Grand Pier is on Marine Parade, Weston-super-Mare BS23 1AL, on the seafront.

Karting is booked through the pier along with its other attractions. Prices, session lengths and age limits were not published in full at the time of writing, so check on arrival or before travelling.
