Kirkbride Airfield, Cumbria

Kirkbride Airfield located just outside Carlisle is our North of England Circuit helping service the North of England, South of Scotland and even Glasgow clients.
Kirkbride is one of our multi experience sites so you will find Lorry and Mini driving also part of the list of experiences operating here. Originally opened in 1939 and owned by the RAF until 1960. The long fast runway is perfect to provide a fun, safe environment for everyone, giving you a taste of what these cars can be capable of with fast flowing chicanes and tight hairpins.

Being in relatively close proximity to the Lake District has seen some guests add a driving experience on to holidays and other events in the area.

6th Gear Experience is proud to be the only provider offering these Experience Days at this venue.
