The highly-anticipated track is the second of its kind to open in the UK.
Opening on Friday 21 October 2022, tickets are now available to book on the Xscape website.
A new e-karting (thats electric go-karting) has been given the green light to become the latest feature at the adrenaline-filled centre, located just outside of Leeds- and it's opening in just a few days time.
If you've ever fancied yourself as the next Lewis Hamilton, or love the thought of go-karting in an environmentally-conscious way: you're going to love the latest addition to Xscape Yorkshire.

The e-karting track will be the second in the UK to open. The first was opened by Gravity Southside in Wandsworth last year and was decorated to fit a Japanese racing track theme.
The CEO and Co-Founder of Gravity noted this was a 'pivotal moment' for the company, adding that the company is expected to own over one million square foot of retail and high street space in the next two years- making this e-karting track just one of the new spaces set to open.
The track is going to be the first of its kinds in the North and you'll get some serious speed on the e-kart too: they'll be able to pelt you up to 40mph as you whizz around the track.
Located just twenty minutes from Leeds city centre, Xscape Yorkshire remains one of the best places to get your blood pumping and adrenaline flowing.
The giant complex hosts a snow park with ski slopes, a trampoline park, a sky coasts that suspends riders 70ft in the air and karaoke rooms, as well as numerous food and drink outlets.
The site's footprint will increase in size by a whopping 24,000 sq ft and a further 50 jobs will be created as a result of the e-karting track. The trampoline park will also undergo rennovations in 2022 to keep Xscape Yorkshire a unique leisure experience.
Tickets cost £11.95 per person, or you can purchase a family dual ticket for £14.95. To find out more information, including how to book your spot on the race track, visit the Gr

Steven Foster, Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, said: “We’re so excited to be welcoming Jerk Junction to Trinity Kitchen and we’re sure it will prove very popular. Bringing an authentic Caribbean flavour to Leeds, it’s the perfect new addition and complements our already stellar line-up of street food vendors.”
Jake Shaffi, founder at Jerk Junction, said: “Jerk Junction is all about real Caribbean food and culture. Everything we do is rooted in Jamaican tradition, from bold spices and authentic cooking to dishes that bring people together.
“For us, food is family. From our kitchen to every person who comes to our counter, we want people to feel the warmth, the energy and the spirit of the islands. We can’t wait to bring those authentic flavours and good vibes to Trinity Kitchen.”
The announcement follows news that the UK’s largest independent boutique bowling brand Lane7, and footwear retailers schuh and Footasylum, would be opening at Trinity Leeds later this year, whilst the LEGO Store will be relocating to a larger space within the shopping centre.
Posting to their social media, The Maven said: "When news broke The Maven could close its doors at the end of March, the reaction across the city was immediate. The response from customers, bartenders, and hospitality operators showed just how much this bar means to Leeds.
"For nearly 15 years, The Maven has been one of the city’s most loved cocktail destinations and a true institution within the local bar scene.
"When we told you about its potential closure we were flooded with support and interest from across the hospitality community. In the days that followed, several Leeds-based operators stepped forward with genuine offers to buy the venue and keep the bar alive.
"At a time when our industry is too often filled with stories of closures, today brings a little hope - a story about a community stepping up to protect something it values.
"The reports that The Maven would close at the end of March are now firmly in the past: The Maven Lives.
"Thanks to the passion of the Leeds hospitality community and the loyalty of its guests, the bar will continue to be part of the city’s nightlife story. More details about the next chapter for The Maven will be shared soon."
