Go to Diggerland. It's a great laugh.
Or go Karting. Any money left over can be spent on drink.

For £250 each, you might just be able to do a bookatrack track day, and hire one of their c*terhams (iirc the car hire is about 400, and the day is
150 - 200 depending on the track and day of the week).

Silverstone do a good day driving saloons, karts, single seaters, skid-pan, autotest and passenger ride in a Caterham race car - did it for me.
Palmer at Bedford Autodrome offer some amazing days but tend not to be cheap.
Alternatively Silverstone Rally School - spending a day hurling a rally car around their course is interesting, especially if there's a group of
you.

Me and some mates did a Elise experience at the Lotus Factory - it was only £100 and for that you got a Factory Tour, 20 minutes being encouraged to
trash an Elise round their test track, and 3 laps with the instructor driving.

As Vince says this without a shadow of a doubt - excellent value, good cars and the bookatrack days are always well run.
NTDWM by the way, just a happy customer.

Orrrrr...
hire your car back to yourself for £400 (that will pay for insurance plus some cash) and use the remainder to buy a open pit track day with 3
driver.
Not only do you get a free track day in your car, but you get some money in your back pocket to pay for the priveldge - and tons more track time than
you'd get with anything else.
