Immerse yourself in the world of slot cars at the UK Slot Car Festival.

The UK Slot Car Festival, sponsored by the legendary Scalextric, is an unmissable weekend for fans of all things slot cars. The event showcases a wide range of the major slot car manufacturers: Scalextric, Slot.it, Carrera, SCX, NSR, Ninco, HO AFX and more. It also includes a massive retail area selling everything you need for your next great race.

The Festival is a perfect family trip out, especially on Scalextric Family Funday Sunday, with plenty of hands-on activities on offer. You can test-drive a range of tracks from all the major manufacturers and get stuck into a variety of white-knuckle slot racing competitions on both days of the event. Be sure to check out the stunt show, including the dreaded Slot Car Wall of Death, club tracks and competitions, and even the opportunity to paint your own figure. Here’s the complete list of what you can look forward to at the Festival:

- Free tracks to race, with different competitions on each day
