As the UK’s flagship motorsports venue, Silverstone Circuit surely needs no introduction. Home of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, Moto GP and Silverstone Classic among many other keystone racing events, you can also visit the brilliant Silverstone Interactive Museum (read our review here), enjoy a variety of full-throttle driving experience days (Aston Martin, Ferrari or Formula Single Seater, the choice is yours) and even book a host of hospitality hot spots for corporate events.

Whilst Silverstone is best known for hosting the F1 Grand Prix every summer, if you’ve ever been lucky enough to experience this iconic sporting event, you’ll know that’s it is in truth a huge festival of racing, food and drink and music, with hundreds of thousands of visitors descending on this rural village to enjoy the excitement, adrenaline and heritage that make Silverstone Circuit so iconic.

Did you know you can even (if you’ve got the coins down the back of the sofa) buy your very own super-luxe trackside property here, which comes with free access to all major race events? Can’t afford it? Nor us, but you could still book in to the brand new (opening in summer 2022) Hilton Garden Inn hotel, which has a rooftop bar and outdoor terrace overlooking the circuit.

Since 2020, Silverstone has also been celebrated for the brilliant winter Lap of Lights, which allows visitors to drive around the race-track in their own cars to enjoy a spectacular light and laser display and this year there’s even an ice-rink, the Ice-Trak, in the pit lane and a huge food, drink and entertainment hub, The Lodge, with entertainment for the whole family.
