We recommend wearing a white t-shirt and clothing items you don’t mind getting covered in powder paint!

Considering the nature of the event, we recommend preparing your vehicles with towels and other coverings to avoid staining.

Also, make sure to bring a spare pair of clothes for your return journey. Toilets will be available for changing clothes.

Please note that children under the age of 8 years old must be accompanied by a paying adult on the course.

The easiest way to get the powder off is while it is dry by shaking your clothes and using a soft brush. Alternatively the powder will come off skin with water.

The coloured powder paint is a natural product of coloured corn starch, which is non-toxic, bio- degradable and “EN71 approved” (European Toy Safety Standard). Learn more information on the paint that will be used here.

If you have a skin allergy or respiratory condition, and are concerned, we recommend to consult your doctor before purchasing entry.
