Buckmore Park

Maidstone Road
Chatham
Kent ME5 9QG

Kent's iconic, floodlit, 1200m MSA licensed competition kart circuit was opened in 1963 in a stunning but convenient location just off junction 3 of the M2 – only a few miles from London and the M25. Buckmore Parks circuit can be configured in many different ways. The track can be run as a full 13 turn circuit, or split into two independent circuits, the Club and the National. There is also a kids circuit to the side of the main track.

Buckmore Park is Britains premiere karting facility, where British F1 World Champions like Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, as well as British Grand Prix and Le Mans winner Johnny Herbert, honed their talents. To give you an idea of the esteem in which Buckmore Park is held, the venue’s £1·5m state-of-the-art clubhouse and conference centre was opened by Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone, motor-racing legend Sir Stirling Moss, former Minister for Sport Richard Caborn MP, as well as multiple bike and Formula One World Champion John Surtees OBE. The industry leading facilities include a massive fleet of over 150 corporate and children’s karts built to their unique specification. Nothing beats wheel-to-wheel racing and Buckmore Parks karts are ideal for first time drivers and experienced racers alike, running many arrive and drive competitions throughout the year for all ages from 4 to 94!

Whatever your requirements, the friendly and experienced team at Buckmore are able to offer an ever-expanding personal service to help you choose the best option for your karting or multi-activity needs – be it a bespoke team-building karting event for up to 280 drivers at a time, a business meeting or conference, a stag or hen party with a difference, a karting party for your 4 year old and their friends, a practice session for yourself, or some extra tuition on your driving skills.

The circuits website contains video footage of the activities they provide at www.buckmore.co.uk, and all club kart racing events and practice sessions can be booked online. If you want more information about the circuit, call them on 01634 201562 (any day of the week) or email them at sales@buckmore.co.uk. The circuit is open seven days a week, day and night, 362 days a year.
