Frequently Asked Questions: 

What is the difference between Cowabunga and Junior karting? 

Cowabunga karting is suitable for children aged 4-8 and below 1.3m. Junior karting is for children aged 8-14 and between 1.3m and 1.5m 

Is it safe?

We take safety seriously at PMG Karting World. That’s why our party packages include a full in-depth safety briefing for our juniors ages 8-14 to ensure that drivers stay safe while having fun. 

For the younger Cowabunga racers we allow 5 minutes prior to the start of each of their 10 minute sessions to put their seatbelts on and check that they understand the pedals and the track rules. This ensures every child is safe, confident, and ready to have fun!

Do I need to buy any of the safety equipment? 

All of our party packages include everything your child needs to race safely. This includes: balaclavas & helmets for the Cowabungas and balaclavas, helmets, gloves and a racesuit for the Juniors. 

How many children can I book for? 

Our party packages must have a minimum of 6 children. We allow up to 8 children on track at one time and there is no maximum number for the party packages so whether you have 6 or 60 children we can cater for you! 

What are the food options? 

Each child will enjoy EITHER a buffet-style platter with a sandwich (ham or cheese), a packet of crisps, a couple of sausage rolls, a few chicken nuggets and some carrot sticks each OR a platter of cheese and pepperoni pizza (half a pizza per child) to refuel and recharge after the party. Please let us know of any allergies or dietary requirements upon booking. 

How do I get their camera footage?

After racing, each child’s QR code is collected and labelled. The lead parent receives all codes with an unlock code, so each parent can easily scan, enter their email, and get footage from one of the two races to re-live the party excitement at home.

Is there a party area? 

Yes! We have a mezzanine with a dedicated table for each party. This is also a great viewing platform for parents to watch their children race around the track. 

How long are the parties and when should we arrive? 

All parties are required to arrive 30 minutes before the session booking time to ensure plenty of time for briefing, getting the children kitted up and ready to race and ensure all children are registered. The party times are dependent on the amount of children who are attending but on average the parties last 2 hours.

Can I bring my own cake and decorations? 

You are welcome to bring a cake, we just ask that you allow our kitchen team to cut it up for you to prevent knives in the customer area. Balloons and decorations for the table are a lovely idea but please ensure there are no loose items that could go onto the track, this includes balloons and table confetti.

Important Information About Karting Parties

At PMG Karting World, we’re here to help make your party experience smooth, fun, and memorable. Our team will be on hand to facilitate your booking and ensure everything runs as planned. However, please be aware that you will not have a dedicated party host, and children remain the responsibility of the supervising adults at all times.

While there will be staff available to assist, please note they may be overseeing multiple parties at the same time, so supervision and support from your group’s adults is essential.

We kindly ask that a suitable number of adults are present to supervise and support the group throughout your visit.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
