Kendrew Barracks

It's an airfield, so facilities are basically whatever the TDO can rustle up. I'd make sure you have some food/water with you just in case 
It's also largely a concrete surface, so expect heavy tyre wear.
Having said that, I've done a few sprints there before and it's a hugely fun place. Doesn't have the glamour of the more 'established' circuits but chucking a car around an airfield with plenty of space and run-off is a must IMHO. We put a quick vid together of the last sprint which should give you an idea of the kind of layout you'll get (and the general surroundings): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nn9WXkPCHU&t=...

I went first time back in June which was organised by Javelin. Make sure you read the instructions and directions as several of us turned up at the main entrance but you're meant to go through a different entrance or you end up having to cross a live runway.
Also make sure you get there on time as the preffered entrance is only open at certain times. The burger van didnt turn up which combined with the fact we couldnt get out of the facility till lunch was a bit of mare as it was baking hot on the day but weather is much cooler now.
The circuit itself was layed out well with mix of fast and slow corners and straights was quite long. Its hard / tricky to guage some corners as there arent any markings and on the day the grass was really long so you couldn't see past the entry point of a lot of corners. Concrete surface didnt appear to be as grippy as tarmac but was good fun. There weren't that many cars / participants on the day which apparently is the norm so no issues with overcrowding or race teams testing.
For the price was well worth it and I enjoyed it more than Mallory a month earlier.
