This year, the highlight is a special Scalextric racing experience that's set to bring out the competitive side in visitors of all ages.

On Sunday 21 June, from 12pm to 5pm, Highcross will be hosting a professional Scalextric Racing Experience in the centre.
Featuring a large-scale professional race track, visitors can race throughout the day and put their skills to the test against family and friends. The track includes digital lap timing, allowing competitors to see exactly how they stack up against the rest of the field.
There will also be hourly competitions taking place throughout the afternoon, with prizes up for grabs from Highcross retailers.
