Increase in stag and hen bookings of driving experiences as lockdown lifts

Enquiries and bookings for stag and hen party driving experiences are now double compared to when the country emerged from the first lockdown last year, new data by TrackDays.co.uk reveals.

The analysis by one of the UK's leading driving experience providers highlights that since the roadmap out of lockdown announcement, bookings have increased by nearly a quarter compared to just a 10% increase last year.

It's the most extreme driving packages that are receiving the greatest interest, with supercar experiences, such as getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari, Lamborghini or McLaren, accounting for almost half of all bookings.

The Double Supercar Blast for Two is one of the most popular experiences for stags and hens, as lovers, perhaps surprisingly, look to spend their last moments of single life not apart, but together.

Supercar experiences are followed by two group centric experiences, the Extreme Dodgems package and the Group Kart Grand Prix, both of which have seen a 50% increase in sales since February's roadmap announcement.

Dan Jones, operations manager at TrackDays.co.uk, said: "It's very encouraging to see a big increase in bookings compared to when we came out of the first lockdown last year. We can only hope that there is now real confidence that everyday life is returning to normal, including the resumption of weddings, and that stags and hens can, once again, choose how they wish to party before the big day."

There are venues in Abingdon, Oxfordshire and in Castle Combe, Wiltshire.
