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.
