Somerset, England, and is built alongside the

Glyn Taylor, is in length, with banking around the edge for spectators. There is also a restaurant which can be hired for weddings and events. It is also used for property auctions, and car boot sales. The site also hosts a golf driving range.
Speedway
Speedway was introduced in 2000. The team were founded by promoter Andy Hewlett and named the
Somerset Rebels, entering the
Conference League.

] Hewlett had been searching for a venue in Somerset to host speedway for some time, when he was offered the site by a local farmer who had hosted banger meetings (cars) there a couple of times.
