This year’s edition of the British Grand Prix drew a crowd through the gates of 480,000 over four days, the same figure as 2023 and equal to the second-best attended Formula 1 race of all time. On race day, attendance of 164,000 fans was a record for Silverstone and represented an increase of 4,000 over 2023.
The organizers always manage to pack in a full schedule of events at the British Grand Prix. In addition to a bumper support schedule, off-track activities include air displays, concerts, static displays and amusement rides. The new Silverstone Experience museum is also worth checking out.
It should be hot and sunny in the UK in July, so pack light clothing and some sunscreen. General Admission areas have plenty of shade available from trees and temporary buildings, and thereโs a choice of covered and uncovered stands. If the weather forecast predicts any kind of rain, be sure to pack a light rain jacket or poncho and umbrella – hopefully wellies will not be required!

2025 British Grand Prix Schedule

Fanzone & Trackside Entertainment
Take a wander around the track if you have the time, as thereโs plenty going on to keep the fans entertained throughout the weekend, notably the new and improved F1 Fan Zone, which is set to offer everything from bungee trampolines to segways. Most activities will also be free.
British Grand Prix Concerts & Entertainment
The main stage at Silverstone has played host to several big (and small) names in music over the years. Headline performers at the 2024 British Grand Prix were Stormzy, Pete Tong and Rudimental. Kings Of Leon also perform at Thursday night’s launch event. Other acts performing across the weekend included The Snuts, Self Esteem, Formz and Pat Nazemii. Headline music acts have not yet been confirmed for the 2025 British Grand Prix.
The concerts take place on the Main Stage after each day of on-track action has been completed. The concert area was expanded for 2023, with space for up to 45,000 fans. The F1 drivers will also make appearances on the Main Stage across the race weekend. Interviews usually take place before the opening Free Practice session on Friday morning and on Saturday and Sunday evening.
Further appearances on the Main Stage in 2024 included live shows from the Formula For Success Podcast (hosted by David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan), The Fast and The Curious Podcast (hosted by Radio 1’s Greg James, Christian Hewgill and Betty Glover) and the P1 Podcast (hosted by Matt Gallagher and Tom Bellingham).
There are a total of three stages at Silverstone. In addition to driver interviews, Formula 1 team principals and reserve drivers were also interviewed over the weekend on the Main Stage, the Driver’s Inn Stage and in the Fan Zone.
For 2024, Silverstone introduced a new stage at the British Grand Prix: the Made at Vale Stage, located near the Vale corner in the final sector of the track. The stage is family friendly during the day, with children’s film screenings and shows from the Ministry of Science. At night, the stage hosts a range of DJs and tribute bands. The full entertainment line-up can be found on the Silverstone website.
Silverstone Food & Drink
Food is pretty expensive at Silverstone, so be prepared to shell out or pack your own sandwiches. Bringing plenty of your own bottled water is never a bad idea either, especially with the potential heat and sunshine, and the need to stay hydrated whilst out and about all day.
Expect to pay ยฃ10 for a large slice of pizza and a beer or soft drink from the many food stands at Silverstone. The same sort of price will get you a large pot of noodles and a drink, or a burrito and something sweet. The range of food on offer at Silverstone is getting better each year, and thereโs plenty to suit vegetarian visitors as well.
Food stalls are dotted all over the place, but the main food arena at Silverstone is a large grassy area near the main stage with plenty of picnic tables and a friendly, festival feel. There are also one or two champagne bars and smarter places to sit, but again expect to pay over the odds for the privilege.
It’s worth stating that the F1 app has been no use at all during the race or qually without 4G. The 3g networks are completely overloaded and it remains to be seen if 4G will stand up, it did last year but there are more phones have 4g now. Really miss fanvision/kangarooTV
Hi all can u take alcohol into the Moto gp this year?
I think so Mike, provided it is in plastic bottles
Hi Mike,
I was fortunate enough to get tickets for Friday/Saturday and Sunday for this years event. Adult tickets, seat roving. Unfortunately I am no longer able to go as weโre expecting our 2nd child which, perhaps naively, genuinely expected to be early and did not anticipate this weekend being an issue. Weโre now approaching 12 days over and booked in to be induced, so I need to pull out and was hopeful you might be able to advise how best I could sell the ticket in such a short time frame? Thanks in advance, Joe
Hi Joe, I think you should try one of the resale platforms like Stubhub.
I hope its ok to pack a small packed lunched consisting of salad and such and drinks in my rucksack. Heading for the Race on the Sunday for the British Grandprix.
Should be fine Ben, just remember no glass.
How do I enter the ballot for Thursday pitwalk please?
You would have received information about that with your tickets; sadly it’s already closed for 2017.
Hi, are you allowed to take alcohol into the Grand Prix at Silverstone, thanks….
Hi Lynda, you should be fine taking alcohol into the circuit, but no glass bottles.
I’ve not been to Silverstone for the F1 before, is it possible to listen to live race commentary during the race via an app or sports radio? Silverstone radio (87.7) doesn’t appear to broadcast during the actual race. Is the only commentary provided via a loud speaker system, or can I bring a sports radio with me and tune into a frequency when there to hear? If so, what is the frequency please?
Hi Jim, you can listen to the British GP live on Radio 5 (AM 693 or 909). More details here.
I bought a weekend ticket on gumtree and the guy was a no show. Can I buy a weekend ticket at track or only Sunday ticket?
Sorry for the slow reply. There are a limited number of tickets available at the track, but I’m not sure if these are just single day tickets or also weekend tickets.
I’m buying 3 day general admission for 2018, how do i apply for pit lane walk tickets for the thursday?
I think you just have to wait for communications from Silverstone, closer to the race weekend (probably around 2-3 months before the race, they launch the lottery).
3 weeks to go and I’ve heard nothing about a pit walk.
Ah – I’ve just seen the article further up this page regarding timed pit walks, using a ballot and colour of wrist-bands. Should I assume this will all become clear on entry.
Iโm buying 3 day general admission for 2018.
Hi, we are camping this year and I have one of those little pull along trolleys for our shairs, drinks etc, can I take it into silverstone from the campsite?
thanks
Hello,
Is it still the same rule for taking your own alcohol into the circuit this year ? No glass ?
Thanks
Can I bring in my cans of beer in my cool bag this year at the F1 with my lunch itโs about a 20L bag
Hi, i need to know this also if anyone knows? Thanks
What time would you suggest to get to the track for GA? Thanks
On-track action begins soon after 8am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Up to you, but good advice is to check out different areas on Friday and Saturday, decide where you want to watch the race and then get there as early as you can to reserve a spot on Sunday
Adding to that where would you suggest the best place for general admission 1st timers to sit/stand?? Thanks
Where can I buy a ticket for the 2018 Sunday race. It’s Saturday already. I’m here in London and want to go and see the race live. I’m OK with the cheapest tickets and standing position.
How much do these usually cost?
Can I buy at the door when I get there?
If not possible to by at the race track, where’s the best place to buy it from?
Thank you.
Sorry, I only just now saw your message. I was working at the track and very busy. You should have been able to buy at the track? Let me know how you got on.
Me and my dad are planning to go to either Thursday or Friday for Silverstone 2019. Are autograph sessions only on thursday- if so what do we need to buy for it, and on Friday what do we need to buy to get pictures/autographs with the racers? We’ve never done this before and it’s a bit confusing x
The pit lane walk is on Thursday, and this can be good for getting autographs. But the tickets are allocated based on a ballot, so you may not get them. Other autograph sessions are held over the course of the weekend, or you can go and hang out near the entrance to the Paddock, where the drivers come and go each day. Another option to get closer to the drivers would be to buy a package from F1 Experiences.
Hi, would buying a inner track pass give a better photography opportunity?
It’s a good idea to buy it in general. For photographs of the cars on track, but also for better access to the drivers and teams. You can hang out near the Paddock entry/exit and get some photos of the drivers coming and going each days.
I’m taking my caravan to Litchlake Farm across the road from Silverstone itself for the GP next month. I have 3 day tickets, can I leave the track and go back in again or is it a case of “when you’re in you’re in”?
I believe pass outs are allowed, but you will need to confirm with Silverstone itself.
Cheers, thx.
Pass outs are fine (I’m staying at litchlake too) just make sure you get your hand stamped on the way out.
When is the best time to see drivers at the paddock entry on the friday for the best chance of seeing some in the inner track area
Hi James, I’d say when they arrive (8-9am) or depart at the end of the day (5-7pm)
Can you tell me what the dress code is in the Paddock Club at Silverstone please?
Hi Gilly,
Smart casual I think. You should be dressed well, but no need to go over the top. You still need to be comfortable.
Hi,
Does anyone know the cost of the radios on sale at the track for listening to the Silverstone commentary?
Sorry Bob, not sure
We have been given some courtesy numbered wrist bands and told that they will get us into the circuit is that correct?
No idea, but I guess you will find out at the gate! Perhaps they are only for “Inner Track” – you still need a regular ticket to enter the track before you can use these ones
Hello, Ive been informed that they only allow you through the gates with only 4 cans of alcohol per person. Is this the case as cant find anything on the website stating this.
Not sure Anita, but sounds like it could be true
Hi , could you tell me please what access you have with an F1 fanzine ticket ? And what would best place to watch race with these tickets
Hi i have a weekend ticket but coming down on Wednesday, do you know when the track is open to be able to run on it. Iv seen people do this a few years ago in the morning and would love to run around the tack..
Honestly, I’m not sure it will be possible to run the track this year given COVID-19 restrictions. But I guess you can ask at the circuit when you arrive on Wednesday
Do you know if there is a taxi rank to get back from the track after the concert on Friday night? Stayin in MK but can’t find anything to say how to get back after 7pm. Thanks
i have tickets for sunday, can we arrive any time or because of covid are we alloted a time window? thanks
You can arrive any time, but given the expected large crowds and potential delays at the gates, I’d suggest arriving as early as you can
Hiya. Taking my 10yr old son on Friday, first time for both of us and really looking forward to it.
In terms of traffic, queues etc what’s it generally like on a Friday? Tricky to know whether to get there early (07:30 ish) and make it a really long day, or leave it till mid morning….. Any advice grateful received
1st time at the f1 this sunday, general admission, any tips on best place to sit?
Want to be comfortable with a picnic but ideally see the cars in the distance.
Also i have purchased 2 radio vouchers, where do i pick them up from?
Friday traffic is usually light. Be sure you take / print off parking pass. I would also drive around the area when you get there so you find alternate routes in/out for Sunday. Itโs not that you will get
Much choice on Sunday as all traffic is directed out for the best possible speedy exists. At least you will then know where you are being sent and if you know of side roads ;-) you can take them.
HTH
Ps I second the โGet there as early as you canโ. You have 2 choices lie in bed and get ready to go or get there **when the gates open** and lie around on some grass at the event in the sun
What time would you usually go on a Sunday? Is there a time that the gates close?
Gates are open from about 7am on Sunday. They won’t close. Depends if you want to see the support categories or just the race. If you want to see everything, go early – especially if you don’t have a reserved seat. Otherwise, go whenever you are ready. The race starts at 3pm.
Silly question but just wondering when worst times for traffic might be on Sunday s oI can try to avoid them?
I’d say worst times for traffic on Sunday will be 7-10am and after the race from 5-7pm. I’d recommend not trying to leave the circuit too quickly after the race. If you wait longer, traffic should be lighter.
First time trying to book tickets for my husband as a present for 2022 Silverstone Grand Prix, please help!!:
There are so many options for tickets, heโs a massive F1 fan and I donโt want to ask him as itโs a surprise. It would be awful to get him tickets and then get the โwrongโ ones.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
A good way of looking at it is that you get what you pay for. So higher priced grandstands generally have better views. How much is your budget per ticket? I can give you some ideas
Probably ยฃ350-ยฃ700 itโs hard to say really, I understand you get what you pay for and Iโll like it to be a great weekend for him (and me) just really not sure where to begin, Iโve spent hours each evening backwards and forwards trying to figure the whole thing out. Iโve got that many tabs open on my phone with different options but just struggling to commit and pick one in case I get it โwrongโ because Iโd like it to be something special.
Hi, don’t overthink it! I’m sure your husband will have an awesome time, no matter which grandstand you choose.
Hi, is it possible to watch F1 racing in public area if I just buy camping ticket?
Thank you.
Hi Mak, this is not possible. You will also need to buy a ticket for the race. We still have 3-Day General Admission tickets for sale here
Hi Andrew! I’ll be traveling to Europe for the first time ever this summer from the US and I’ll be going to grand prix Friday and Saturday this year, I was lucky enough to have a paddock club ticket for Friday come July. Are you pretty familiar with the ins and outs of the paddock club? I know its pretty much the best ticket you can have but are there any specifics that you suggest doing whilst I’m at the track Friday besides what’s all listed on the hospitality website?
Yes, I’m pretty familiar with the Paddock Club, having worked in it on many occasions. Sadly still yet to experience it as a customer:) The Paddock Club is awesome. You will be treated very well in terms of food and drink. You also have the opportunity to do a pit lane walk, which is worth doing. There can also be some other activities like a Guided Track Tour (on the back of the truck used for the drivers’ parade). Tickets can be limited for this, so you need to ask when checking in or go to the entertainment desk. Even if you have your own seat in a particular suite, you can also go and hang out in the Club Lounge, which often has a better atmosphere with live music, simulators, etc. Enjoy your experience
Thanks for the reply! Yeah I’m extremely excited that I’ll be able to experience Silverstone and have the paddock club as the first F1 experience for me. As for what you said for the pit lane walk and guided track tour, so would I need to inquire about it as soon as I arrive to Silverstone that friday morning in order to secure my spot to do those activities for the day? Also being that I’ll be in the paddock club Friday, from which I hear Fridays are not as hectic compared to the other days, does that allow myself to have any better chance to possibly meet some of the drivers?
Hi Drew, the pit lane walk for Paddock Club is open to all guests and you don’t need to register for that. But the track tour has limited places, so you need to sign up for that. One other thing is that they normally have driver appearances in the Club Suite, which you should be able to attend. This can be current drivers, but also retired drivers like Mika Hakkinen, Jacques Villeneuve, Jean Alesi etc. But you won’t be able to meet drivers away from the Paddock Club unless you also have access to the Paddock itself
Hi
This will be my first time going to a race. Do you know if fans will get to attend the podium celebration from the track. If so how do we actually get on the track and what is the closest/best place to be towards the end of the race to get on the track. And can GA ticket holders attend the podium celebration ? If not what is the best grandstand to be at to get on the track at the end.
Sorry for all the questions I’m not really sure how it all works I saw all the fans going on the track at the Australian GP and would love to do it.
Thankyou
Yes, fans should be able to go on the track at Silverstone this year. Anyone will be able to do this, whether they have General Admission or Grandstand seats. I’m not 100% sure of the access points at Silverstone, but best idea will be to get somewhere close to the Main Straight or final corner near the end of the race. You will see other fans queuing up to go on the track.
What access will Weekend GA ticket holders have for Thursday ? I note that there is a concert Thursday evening, can we also access the track during the day ?
Thanks
Not sure exactly, all the information about previous years is in this post. We have to wait a bit longer for 2022 information to be published. Please check the circuit website and follow Silverstone on social media for updates.
Hi there! Going to my first F1 race ever for the qualifying at Silverstone. We have roving grandstand seats so can access all the grandstands throughout the day. What time should we get there on Saturday, and where do you recommend we sit?
Hi Josh. We recommend getting there quite early, probably around 08:00-08:30 – especially this year as the race weekend is sold out! The on-track action begins at 09:55 on Saturday, and it will get busier by the time FP3 begins. Anywhere near the Becketts/Maggotts complex is a good spot for qualifying. People tend to move around more after qualifying, so maybe check out some other grandstands then to see what the views are like for any future visits!
Hi there, super useful article, many thanks for putting together!
We have the trackside hospitality package for race day only. Does this give access only to hospitality area or can we access General Admission areas or anywhere else? If we drive down, in order to make us of hospitality parking, what time would you recommend we arrive for in order to beat super long queues?
Hello. Yes, your hospitality tickets will also give you access to the General Admission areas. If you already have parking, I don’t think you need to arrive that early. The traffic control near Silverstone is quite good these days, so hopefully you won’t have long delays.
Hi Iโm going for the first time taking my cousin who has autism as itโs been on his wish list forever. Heโs loves formula one. We have general admission for Sunday race day what time would be recommended we have been preparing him for the crowds but is there anywhere youโd recommend we stand that would make things a little easier for him? We have a booked parking space and shuttle.
Thank you for any advise
.
Hi Fi, that’s great you are taking your cousin. I don’t have specific information for you, but here’s some information from the Silverstone website, I suggest contacting them directly.
Where can I find out more about facilities and services for visitors with a disability?
At Silverstone we have a wide range of facilities and services available to you. Please visit our Accessibility section. If you have further questions, please email us on [email protected] and we will be happy to help you with your query.
Does anyone know if you can rent chargers to charge mobile phones in 2022? Thanks
Not sure. Can you not just buy a cheap mobile charger and bring it with you?
Do you know if you can bring alcohol in
Yes, you can – but only for personal consumption – that is, not too much. And rememeber you cannot bring any glass bottles or containers. So bring your alcohol in cans or plastic bottles. More info in the FAQs on the Silverstone website
Hi,
We have booked parking in Car Park 1 for the weekend. Can we return to the car during the day (understanding it will be a 20 minute walk!) just so that we donโt have to take everything in all at once? Thanks.
Yes I don’t think this will be a problem
Hi , quick question re Thursday , i brought hospitality weekend tickets for son and his fiance, as they have full weekend tickets included in hospitality can they access on Thurday for bands etc ? even Match Hospitality isnt sure yet they are official silverstone hospitality supplier..
Have had the same issue with guests of F1 Experiences and haven’t got an answer. I think they cannnot access, as 3-day ticket holders had to get an additional Thursday ticket from Silverstone for entry on Thursday.
Hi mate. First time going to Silverstone on Sunday. I have a GA ticket so where did you suggest is the best area to watch the race? Also what is the best way to get autographs/pictures with the drivers ( I I know this is unlikely).
Hello, check our Tickets post for some advice on where to watch in GA. As for meeting drivers, you really need “Inner Track” access to be able to go near the Paddock entrance, but this is sold out for 2022. You could also try going to the Whittlebury Hotel near the trqck after the race (in early evening/evening), as some drivers will be staying there.
Hi, Iโve got a ticket just for the Friday which is roving all areas basically. Itโs been a few years since I last went and canโt remember how much competition there is for grandstand seats during free practice sessions? Getting there for gates opening isnโt an option, so just wanting to prepare myself mentally for getting seats (sounds silly I know lol)
Hi,I’m at the track now and looking out at very full grandstands during FP1. So I’d say the competition is very high. Good luck
Hi – my wife and I have paddock access for Sunday (not Paddock Club) due to a very lucky gift we received! Do you happen to know where we’d be able to watch the race from after looking around the paddock – is there any non-reserved seating that can be accessed from within the paddock or would we need to find an area of general admission seating?
Thanks in advance – not been before so no idea what to expect!
Sorry, I was working the whole weekend in the Paddock Club and simply had no time to check the comments on the site. Did you have a good time? I’m sure you met lots of drivers and celebs in the paddock, must have been a cool experience! You would have been able to watch the action at the final few corners and the pit entry at the end of the paddock, raised area near the entrance steps to the Silverstone Wing, but I’m sure you worked this out! Sorry again
Hi
I am trying to purchase a Sunday GA admission ticket for my fiancee but they are sold out on the website. Will more tickets be released towards the race date?
Sorry, but the tickets sold out very quickly for the British Grand Prix this year. They went on sale quite a while ago. We didn’t get any of these tickets this year with our supplier. I don’t think more tickets will be released, which means you will probably have to pay more by buying on a secondary market website.
Hi,
This article is so good!
We’ve got tickets to the Chapel Grandstand for 3-days and just wondering if anyone has heard anything about the pit walk ballot yet? Was hoping the walk was complimentary like other races but it must just be in very high demand.
Cheers
I’ve not seen any info yet about applying for the ballot for the pit lane walk, but Silverstone did just confirm details of the Thursday Launch Party (also a ballot system for entry), as well as weekend headliners
Hi. Do you know any activities or events on this year where I can meet any f1 drivers. I will be in the club corner but I don’t know what events will include the f1 drivers so I can hopefully meet one
For sure the drivers will make some appearances on the stage in the Fanzone over the weekend, but these events/times have not yet been announced. The other way to get closer to the drivers is to try and buy “Inner Track” access = it’s already sold out for 2023, but maybe you can find someone online or a resale platform selling a ticket. The Inner Track access lets you get closer to the Paddock entrance, where you can meet the drivers arriving and departing the circuit each day.
Hi! Do you have a facebook group for going to the British Grand Prix?
Thank you
Not yet, but we are planning to create later this year in the off season
Hi Andrew,
Can you confirm whether I would be able to access general admission areas on race day with a general admission plus pass?
Yes, all ticket holders can access the General Admission areas
Hi, how do you get tickets to the Chrome Main Stage up close to the stage itself? Thanks.
I don’t know of any such tickets. I guess to get up close you need to just get there early
Hi,
I was only able to secure pit lane + inner track access for Thursday for this year’s GP. Is there a way to get the 3 or 4 day access somehow? The website says sold out unfortunately.
How early would I have to go to the circuit for the Chrome Main stage? Approximately.
Will the fanzone driver meet times be announced in advance or will they reveal it just before the weekend like some other circuits as a surprise event?
Sorry, I think you have to contact Silverstone. I’m not sure exactly what you mean. And for the Chrome stage, I’m not sure what day your are referring to. As for the driver appearance times, be aware this is an interview on the stage rather than a ‘meet’. Times are normally only announced a few days in advance
Hi Andrew, can we get into the Silverstone Museum with our 3 day race tickets on Saturday or do we need some other tickets? The museum ticket calendar is greyed out for Thursday through Sunday. Thanks.

Sorry, not sure Brent. I suggest contacting them directly. Let us know what they say!
Hi Andrew, when I contact them they send me a link back to the website which doesn’t have any information. Very frustrating!

Hi Brent, just checked this out for myself – tickets are free but you need to pre-book. Head to the Silverstone website, log in to your account, go to extras and scroll through the extra options – Silverstone Museum is an option on the last page. You can select a time slot there (some are sold out already)
