Top 10 October Half Term Ideas by Dinah Hatch
"If you’ve children with a need for speed, Santa Pod raceway is pretty much nirvana. It’s hidden away in the little village of Podington on the Beds/Bucks border and is stuffed with men in greasy overalls talking about big ends, young dudes talking about their fastest lap time and kids in mufflers screaming with joy as engines whizz past them at the speed of light. You don’t have to have a clue how it all works, just enjoy the insane races (there’s everything from motorcross to monster trucks), the hotdogs and the thrill of the race! Look out for training events and festivals, too, where you get to have a go driving yourself. Irresistable.
