Glow Karting to launch in Bristol

Absolutely Karting is delighted to bring Glow Karting to Bristol when it launches the new experience on Tuesday 22nd February.

Glow Karting takes all the adrenaline-fuelled fun of indoor go karting and cranks it up. Absolutely Karting has updated the venue by installing hundreds of UV lights to the dual-level track, safety barriers, karts, and helmets, so when the venue lights are turned down, the whole place glows.

Through its Bristol and Maidenhead tracks, Absolutely Karting is the only organisation in the UK to offer Glow Karting.

Naomi Smith, Venue Manager at Absolutely Karting Bristol, commented:

“We’ve added UV lights to the track, which are not noticeable when normal karting is taking place. But, when we turn the venue lights off, the whole place is transformed. The colours change as the racing speeds up and we’ve added music to complete the party atmosphere.

“We’re thrilled to be able to offer something completely different and new for the region and we can’t wait to welcome people and families to the track to experience Glow Karting.”

Glow Karting is available for adult and family Race Experience bookings at Absolutely Karting Bristol and can also be added to party packages. Booking can be made online by visiting www.absolutely-karting.co.uk.

Bristol karting venue receives consumer safety standard

Absolutely Karting in Bristol has been awarded the Visit Britain ‘We’re Good to Go’ hospitality and tourism standard, which gives reassurance to customers that the venue adheres to the Government and public health Covid-19 guidance.

To receive the standard, Absolutely Karting had to show it is minimising risk by implementing clear safety processes to maintain cleanliness and aid social-distancing, as well as ensuring all members of its team are briefed on policies and procedures.

At the indoor karting venue these procedures include following a one-way system, wearing a face covering in the centre and making regular use of the hand-sanitising stations. The team has also increased the frequency of cleaning and all suits and helmets are UV sanitised between use.

Naomi Smith, Centre Manager at Absolutely Karting, commented:

“Since reopening in August, it’s been wonderful to welcome customers through the door again and to see people enjoy karting. We’ve worked extremely hard to ensure we are a safe environment for all visitors and the ‘We’re Good to Go’ standard is recognition of that.

“As part of the standard we will receive spot checks, so we are continually reviewing our procedures to see if there is even more we can do. As such, we’ve recently introduced ‘Social Bubble’ parties which give up to six people exclusive use of the track so they don’t have to mix with those outside of their social group.”
