The Experience

Turn an exciting driving experience into a memorable weekday getaway with a one-night stay at Shendish Manor Hotel in Hertfordshire.

One person will get behind the wheel at the London Motor Circuit, choosing from four different driving packages, while the overnight stay gives two people the chance to stay at Shendish Manor Hotel & Golf Course. Breakfast for two is included the following morning too.

With both experiences based in Hemel Hempstead, the driver can bring someone along and turn their time at the circuit into a weekday getaway they can enjoy together.

Why They'll Love It

This isn't just a few exciting laps around a circuit. It's a chance to make a mini break of the whole experience.

The driving is the adrenaline-filled centrepiece, with the driver choosing from four different packages on arrival. They could learn to drift a BMW E90, take control of a GT race car, experience an open-top racer or discover which three secret supercars have been selected for them.

The centres contracted with us hold public liability insurance. We also hold contingency liability cover.

Some operators require customers to complete an indemnity/damage waiver form prior to taking the experience. This may state the driver is liable for a fixed amount of costs should they damage the vehicle whilst driving. Most operators are able to provide additional insurance to cover this at a small additional fee, payable on site. The purchase of this is optional and is in addition to the public liability insurance held by all venues. The full details of any indemnity or damage waiver and additional insurance will be provided by the activity operator. WonderDays is unable to advise or comment on the content or suitability of any such waiver or additional insurance.
