Looking at doing my first full track day at one of these venues soon but was looking for opinions or advice as to which one people prefer and would recommend? What are the surfaces like at each of these?

So far, I have just done a taster session at Bedford. Not expecting the same facilities or track quality but think an airfield day is a good place to start.

All much of a muchness, Keevil is probably the worst surface, Abingdon the most interesting layout

MSE run great days and having been to all 3 venues several times, the surfaces are all pretty similar. If I were you, I would book at whichever venue is most convenient in terms of date and location, because as F355GTS has said, they are all much of a muchness, but still offer a challenge and because of the amount of run off, are as safe as is possible for trackday venues.

I think of the three Hullavington has marginally the worst surface but they are all pretty similar. Hullavington is often a bit less busy, Abingdon always full. Hullavington has the advantage of a separate 'car control' area where you can deliberately explore the car's limits.

As already said, Abingdon is probably the pick from a driving point of view.

Done MSE at Colerne and Hullavington. Hullavington was an OK track but it absolutely destroyed my tyres even on a cold wet day. The arse about area is a lot of fun though. You can explore how your car feels on its limits then go try it on the track straight away. Colerne was a better surface but similar track, I guess most of the airfields are.
Either way both were fun and good value. Hullavington does also have karting next door so you can settle any disputes there in the evening lol.
