Junior Driving Day
The Wright Event run Junior Driving Days for children who are 11 years old and over. The day starts with a lesson in a dual control car, where the children are taught to drive in the safety of our vast activity field. After the initial driving lesson, they then take their newfound skills into our off-road driving area, where they get to drive up and down some of the slopes around the farm. This is done in complete safety in one of our dual-control Land Rovers, with our instructor sitting beside the driver. After a break for lunch (please bring a packed lunch) the kids then get to drive a selection from the Powerturns (two seater buggies that pop wheelies) a reverse steer buggy and the Can-Am Traxter. We then finish the day off with a Quad Bike Safari or the amazing Apache Rally Car (depending on the weather).
Junior Driving Days are a brilliant introduction to learning to drive and are run during all school holidays. Carried out in groups of four, you can either come along as an individual or as a group.
