If you are into fast and furious motoring then this is the place to be. The premier drag strip in the country, holding a good selection of events throughout the year, fireworks in November is always spectacular. On race days you are close to the action, noise and smell, a good day out.

Santa Pod is fantastic. We visit all the ford shows and usually camp. We have never had any problems. I love the jet car.

Ive been going Santa Pod for over 10years now and spend many weekends there each year. If your into drag racing this is the best place for it in the UK. The FIA events are the best if your going just to watch, but if your racing then RWYB events mean you get to race yourself in a car you've... More

Great weekend but toilet facilities could be nearer to camping for those with children... Also showers closer would be better too... Flames and thunder weekend is a must...

Oh My how cold can a place be! The raceway is in the middle of nowhere but directions are good on their website. Muddy fields and ice all over meant this weekend was baltic. Saying that they tried hard to make it fun with monster trucks, dragsters and funny cars and all the rest. The racing was good and some... More

A conversation with mates led to an early start on a Saturday morning to attend the Festival of Speed at Santa Pod Raceway. The night before, on-line, I found a discount code buying tickets for only £17 instead of £25 on the gate. The car parks are in fields so yesterdays muddy conditions meant boots and fun getting out later.... More

I have been visiting Santa Pod for 7 years. I usually go to the Easter event, Main Event and Euro Finals to see fast and furious top fuel action. I'm absolutely addicted! Everyone should try it. It's stunning!

The best weekend camping ever. If you love motor sport and love seeing dragsters hitting 300mph + then santa pod is for you. The good thing about this place is its safe for your kids and got loads to do. If your camping and have small children then ask for a family camping pass on arrival then you will have... More

Last year we visited many theme parks and events/attractions as a family and we must say our number one choice for value for money and none stop action and entertainment must go to Santa Pod Raceway in Wellingborough. We visited Santa Pod twice last year, on our first visit we went to the Easter Thunderball and we were thoroughly blown... More

£30 for unlimited runs in your own car, whats not to like!?! Saturday night specials really add to the atmosphere as you can race until 9pm. A great way to spend a day with friends.
