Hov Pod Leisure Hovercraft Events
Crikey! There are so many events now taking place, it is difficult to keep this page up to date, our web-master is complaining of needing sleep! Please email us through the contacts page if you would like to see a Hov Pod or purchase a test drive. Prices vary according to operators, but in the event that you must buy a Hov Pod, we will refund the cost of the test drive from the purchase price.
Here are some of the events we've attended.
