Blind Driving in Bristol

View Activity FAQs
Stag party helping the blind driver navigate the course

Come and test your off road skills in the dark!

Ever trusted putting your life in the hands of your friends? Well with blindfold driving you will have to do just that, will they rise to the challenge of just leave you high and dry in the mud!

In our Bristol centre your communication skills will be put to the test while commanding an ex-army land rover equipped with your own gunners in the back! With a course that has been designed to encounter every obstacle we can throw your way, you really will get to experience true off road driving the only difference will be that you won’t be able to see any of it!

With your friends as the only thing between you and a 10 foot drop who will be your trusted navigator? But never fear with an instructor thrown in to the passenger seat for good measure you know you will never drift too far from the path!

Blind Drive Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does the activity run? 
    We run one vehicle for a group of up to 12. The instructor sits in the passenger seat to maintain control, with a variety of passengers in the back issuing directions.
  • What is the minimum/maximum group size?

  • On Saturday we operate a minimum group size of 6. up to a maximum team size of 12 people, if your group size is larger than this you will be split over 2 or more tracks or you will be provided with more time. If you have a group of less than 6 people we suggest you call in the week running up to the day you would like to come, as we may have some space we can offer you, in this case we reserve the right to mix you with another party, alternatively you can pay for 6 people.

  • What day can i book, are you only open at weekends?

  • Predominately we are open on Saturday for group bookings, but do open during the week. Any booking would be subject to availability and group size. Please call to discuss options.

  • How long does the session last?

  • Each activity runs for 1 hour in Bristol. If you just book Blind driving that will last for one hour. If your group size is over 12 we will either split you into 2 teams or more, or provide more time. In certain circumstances such as a small group where your health and safety could be at risk from over confidence, we may reduce this time. Alternatively if you are acting beyond what Max Events, or our instructors deem safe/acceptable, you will be asked to leave the activity. No refunds will apply for misuse of equipment.

  • How long will I be on site? 
    This is dependant on the number of activities booked but we ask that you arrive half an hour prior to the start of your activities, and you will need at least 15 minutes from when the activities have finished to getting in your car.
  • Is there a minimum age?
    The minimum age for particpation is 12 but for driving is 18 unless you have a license 
  • Do I need a driving license?
    No driving license is required, you don't need a driving license as it all takes place on private land. Previous driving experience is preferred but not essential, just let us know if you haven't driven before, any questions please let us know. Drivers must be 18 and over, unless you have a license.
  • I have never driven off road, or in a 4x4, is this a problem?
    No, it’s not a problem, the vehicles are either automatic or stay in a low gear so it’s just like driving a normal car.
  • Can i still take part if i have a disability?
    Taking part one way or another should not be a problem, we have had the pleasure of blind groups taking part in the activity before, and for other disabilities there is always the benefit of guiding the driver around. Please speak to the office when booking if you have any concerns or questions.
  • Am I insured? 
    Max Events carries £5 million public liability insurance. This covers us and you in the event of our negligence. You are provided with all instruction necessary to complete the activity safely, if you operate any equipment beyond your ability or the boundaries that we provide you will not be covered, it does not cover you for acts of stupidity or if an incident arises beyond our control.
  • Do you provide any safety equipment? 
    Yes we provide all necessary safety equipment for each activity, as outlined by our insurance obligations.
  • Can we operate in any weather? 
    Unfortunately we cannot control the weather. In most cases we work very hard to ensure your event runs smoothly and with the required activities in your booking. If we feel we have a health and safety issue we would try and make contact in the week prior to your arrival and offer some alternative suggestions. In extreme circumstances on the day we may have to offer an alternative activity which carries an equal or greater value.
  • Will I get dirty / Do you provide overalls? 
    All our tracks are outdoors so this is dependant on the weather. Hot and sunny you will get dusty, wet and you will get muddy. We do not provide overalls for each individual person, we do have a range of overalls for sale on the day, prices start at £2.00 and in most cases this is enough to keep you relatively clean.
  • Do I need specific footwear? 
    Either trainers or walking boots are a must. You must wear shoes that will not fall off, and that cover the whole foot, i.e no flip flops.
  • Can i wear fancy dress? 
    Yes, so long as it does not have the potential to be caught in any moving parts, does not impair vision, means you are still wearing the correct footwear.
