Opportunities 

learn to carriage drive!The Chariots of Fire Driving Centre is a small, nationally recognised centre where we aim to bring the formerly elite sport of carriage driving to mainstream people.  By creating an environment based on the values of encouragement, kindness, laughter and discipline where people can feel sufficiently at ease to take on challenges that might normally seem intimidating.  We have the equipment, ponies, facilities, expertise and personal support to offer those who wish to take up the available opportunities.  We are the only centre in the UK bringing on children as young as 3 years old into carriage driving, giving them the chance to compete up to national level.

 

We hold regular 'Try Driving Days' at the Centre where you can come along and have a go and a sport that would usually be out of reach.

We are also involved in developing the motor and social skills of children in care in our local area.  We work with Care Visions – an organisation that takes youngsters from Social Services into as natural an environment as possible.  They have the chance to ride and drive with 1:1 support and, as their skills improve, compete alongside other Junior Chariots members.  It is this structure and discipline that enables them to feel totally nurtured and produces the best that they have to give, often surprising themselves.
