Wattisham Airfield is based near the village of the same name in Suffolk, easily accessible from Ipswich via the A14, but also in good proximity to other towns in this beautiful part of East Anglia, including Stowmarket, Needham Market and Bury St Edmunds. It has remained an operational Army airfield since it was first used by the Royal Air Force at the start of World War II in 1939. Today, it now houses the British Army's 3 Regiment Army Air Corps and 4 Regiment Army Air Corps.

At Trackdays, we added it to our books for our driving experiences in the East of England in 2022, and it's been hugely popular ever since. The full venue address can be found at the top of this page. You'll be able to enjoy driving a wide selection of cars and vehicles on the airfield's 2.4 metre long runway, and all at the great value that you've come to expect from us. Obviously, being an airfield that is still in active use means facilities here will be limited for customers, but spectators are greatly welcomed on-site.

Some of the most desirable and sought after Supercars are available for both Adults and Juniors to drive at Wattisham, on our range of Blast (3 Mile) and Thrill (6 Mile) packages which start from as little as £35. On some packages, you can drive up to as many as six turbocharged sets of wheels of your choice.

And whether it's the Italian stallion that is the Ferrari 458 Italia, the raging bull that is the Lamborghini Gallardo, or the race engineered power of the McLaren 650s, we're confident you'll find the perfect car (or cars) to enjoy driving for the day.

Want to drive something more timeless? We have that taken care of too with our British and American selection of Classic Car driving experiences. The Brits are represented by the class and elegance of the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5, whilst our Stateside friends offer the heavyweight muscle of the Ford Mustang GT350 and the Dodge Charger to name a few.

If you'd rather drive something a bit more heavy duty, then there's also our Truck Driving packages. These immensely popular driving days with a difference will take you either into the cabin of a Volvo FH460 or Renault Transporter.

We'll be adding new dates for events at Wattisham Airfield as and when we get them direct from the suppliers at the venue with Trackdays' regularly updated Events Calendar. If you see a forthcoming event date you're interested in then it's just a case of clicking or tapping to book your space directly onto the event.

Looking for more flexibility? We've got you covered there too with our open dated Gift Vouchers, valid to be redeemed and used as much as 10 months in advance (although there is also the option to extend it to 14 months for an additional fee).

Perfect for if you're happy to wait for the right date to enjoy your driving experience at Wattisham, or even as a unique gift idea for any special occasion - Christmas, Birthdays, Father's Day, Mother's Day. We can even take care of the gift wrapping for you with our gift box options at checkout!
