From plays to musicals, ballets to operas, and workshops to stand-ups, Milton Keynes Theatre has it all.  The picturesque building in the heart of the Theatre District (just across the road from Xscape) has something to suit everyone’s taste. 

2006 is going to be a busy year for the theatre, cramming in world famous musicals including Starlight Express and My Fair Lady; and pulling in top celebrities including Jason Donavan and Patricia Routledge.  Recent comedians to perform their stand up at the theatre include Harry Hill, Jack Dee and Joe Pasquale – with many more booked in this season.

The new theatre – currently the UK’s most popular regional theatre -  is the latest state of the art building, with the most technically advanced equipment available. Designed by architects Blonski-Heard, the new theatre accommodates a vast range of productions, from large-scale West End musicals, to smaller, more intimate drama. The auditorium ceiling has been carefully designed to accommodate various shows and can be lowered or raised depending on the scale of the production. The seating can also be moved around within the auditorium to vary the capacity from between 900 and 1,400.

In addition to bringing a variety of performances to the city, Milton Keynes Theatre provides a focus for the city's already thriving cultural life. The very first performances on the new theatre's stage brought together nearly 1,000 local people, actors, dancers, musicians and backstage staff.

This purpose built 11-acre venue combines one of the UK’s longest pro-karting circuits with the ultimate in hospitality and conference facilities.   Our state-of-the-art fleet of twin-engined prokarts are timed by a sophisticated Roc Timing System relayed to screens throughout the venue. The on-kart dashboards display race position, laptime and gap to the driver in front. The Pit lane boasts Reception, Changing Rooms, Showers and Video Briefing Cinema. The Pavilion is our purpose-built Hospitality Building with licensed bar and restaurant and overlooks the circuit and pit-lane.

The first Daytona Circuit opened in London in December 1990. The venue was immediately recognized as the UK's premier indoor karting venue. A second circuit was opened in 1992, and the two joined to create the legendary GP Circuit in 1994.  In April 1996 we opened Daytona International in Milton Keynes. As with London, this outdoor circuit soon achieved the status as the UK's leading pro-karting circuit.  In February 1999, the company was acquired by Brands Hatch Leisure Group.  In August 2000, the company purchased Karting at Sandown Park, to further increase the capacity for outdoor karting. In October 2000, we opened the state-of-the-art indoor centre in Manchester. In June 2003, Jim and Charles Graham, the original founders of the business, re-acquired Milton Keynes, Sandown Park and Manchester from Brands Hatch Circuits Ltd.

The company continues to invest in its venues and the team. We pride ourselves on the quality of our karts, our venues and our teams. We are confident that you will enjoy your experience at Daytona.
