British Grand Prix
Accessibility Guide

At our events, every motorsport fan is part of the action. We’re committed to creating an inclusive and accessible experience for all regardless of ability. From thoughtfully designed facilities to attentive services, we work hard to ensure that every guest enjoys a memorable visit.

The Silverstone team can be found in Customer Corner gate 19 should you need support, however in the first instance please speak to our Race Makers or zone staff.

Silverstone covers a large and varied area, over 600 acres, with surfaces like grass, tarmac, concrete, stone paths, and some loose gravel. The weather can sometimes affect how easy it is to get around, so it’s a good idea to keep that in mind when choosing what gear to bring along.

Hi there! Just a quick reminder to bring along your access card or your Sunflower lanyard (if you have one). These will help you get in more quickly through the accessible entrances.

You’re welcome to leave the venue at any time. Just make sure to scan out when you go so you can easily scan back in later.
