What do I need to wear?

To make the most of your day with us, comfortable clothing is recommended. Trainers are the best footwear and a waterproof coat is advised for the English winter. We strongly recommend that clients do not wear high heels or large boots as they will struggle to drive some of the vehicles.

You are more than welcome to bring your own helmet, gloves and boots if you have them, however Big Thunder does provide helmets and dry or wet overalls and gloves should you need them.
