Description

Enjoy the unique excitement of a JCB racing day at Diggerland Yorkshire. This adventure theme park plays host to digger driving experiences around a purpose-built course. The giant excavator is deceptive, reaching speeds of 20 mph around the track, although you can guarantee it feels even quicker when you’re sitting at the top of the vehicle! All drivers receive hands-on training before the competition begins and then the fun really starts! Beat the clock and the rest of the field to qualify for the day’s grand final hosting the eight fastest drivers. As part of the experience, get to explore the rest of Diggerland Yorkshire, with free access to the rest of the rides in the adventure park.
