Hired the track for my son’s 13th birthday party and the boys had the most amazing day with special memories made. The Rye House staff were incredible. Huge thanks to Chloe in the cafe who even helped me decorate the party room as I was running out of time. The boy in the shop who talked to the boys about different helmets and karts that were on display. Henry and the v.helpful guy with dark hair and beard on track (sorry, think name begins with S). Sam for presenting the boys with medals at the end. Unbelievably, I discovered my tyre had gone flat at the end of the day and Sam, dark haired guy with beard and guy with glasses from track stayed late and used their equipment to get my tyre off (which wouldn’t come off) and then fitted the spare. Really lovely, genuine people who are very kind hearted. THANK YOU to everyone at Rye House for a day, we will never forget.

As an owner driver parent, I can’t recommend Rye House Karting Club highly enough! 🏁 The staff are genuinely friendly, supportive, and always make the kids (and parents!) feel welcome. The track is brilliant fast, technical, and a great place for young drivers to really develop their skills. 💨 The atmosphere in the paddock is fantastic too a real sense of community where everyone helps each other out. It’s one of those places where passion for motorsport truly shines through. A perfect environment for both learning and racing we absolutely love it here! 👏

Always enjoy this track - also like the stewards and marshalls and how they run things - seem to have the right balance of knowing when to throw yellow flags and stuff and when not to, so you can get a proper race in.

I can’t speak highly enough of the amazing experience we had at Rye House! The professionalism of the staff, especially Sam and Cosmo, truly stood out. They were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to support my son every step of the way. Thanks to their guidance and encouragement, my son gained the confidence and skills he needed to qualify for the RHDC Championship 2025 Fangio. The Development Days were the cherry on top, especially when he had the chance to get his hands on a trophy! Rye House Karting is a fantastic place for aspiring racers, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into karting! Thank you, Sam and Cosmo, for making this journey unforgettable!
