Can i take food into silverstone

The atmosphere around there is usually very good and the cars will be showing off all that horsepower in front of you. Look forward to hear your thoughts after! Hello I am very excited to be going to my first F1 a week today. Best Regards Paul. Great info. We only bought our tickets for general admission yesterday so a bit of a last minute thing!

Are you only going for the race day or whole weekend? There general admission area Vale is massive and will no doubt have screens. As I recommend so any general admission tickets holder, the early bird really does catch the worm at Silverstone. Hi, I am looking at buying weekend GA tickets however I have a very bad back and cannot stand for long. Club Silverstone for 14 years! Camp at Whittlebury, so easy walk to Becketts.

Would like to do Pit walk on Thursday, what is the best route from campsite? Wife does not walk well. Thanks, Bruce. The good news is there are two pit walks one at and one at if take a little longer than expected!! I would enter via Becketts and walk clockwise round the circuit to Club. I have a pass to watch the race from the inside of the track this year, where is the best place to plonk myself?

Presumably not the standard general admission tickets! Not sure if there are better places though. You can add them to our Facebook page or do you have a Flickr or Google Plus account? Just got tickets today for my birthday for from the other half for the Sunday!

Your info above is fantastic, and after many searches of the internet, is one of the most comprehensive, so congratulations on a great source of info! Would you put Vale as the best GA spot?

We plan to be there for the doors opening, so if you could advise on where to head straight to, that would be epic! Thanks Sean! I appreciate the feedback. Not ideal for sausage rolls on the tartan blankets! Enjoy your weekend and happy birthday! So if you could help with the below queries, it would be great. I live in London, I guess it takes around 1. Hi Saravanan! More on the Sunday, but qualifying will be busy around the whole circuit. My advice is get there as early as you can and enjoy the day.

GP3 qualifying is at and F1 FP3 is — aim for one of those, and relax the rest of the day, hopefully in the sunshine. Hi Kev! Off the top of my head I can remember seeing a dedicated area for disabled fans towards the front of one of the Luffield stands. Please come back and share your experiences after the race!

Farm Curve Grandstand. An uncovered grandstand giving an excellent view. Will definitely book again. Great racing action and a couple of good bumps!! I want to treat my husband by taking him for his 30th birthday next year, but I am a bit clueless which grandstand to book, the above info was helpful but I still am struggling to decide, I know he would love a spot that is good for possibly seeing overtaking, any ideas where might be best?

Woodcote is great choice! Not bad! Hi, are there any Club grandstand seating plans at all? I have CC1 O seats. Can I see any of Stowe and the vale chicane? Is Club section 1 the nearest part of Club to the start straight?

Is row O really far back? How many rows are in Club? I was at Silverstone a couple of weeks ago for a club event and set in the Club grandstand. The benefit of your stand is the view of the straight, the pits and of course the podium. I would recommend taking some binoculars. Yep as you say GA tickets are for all areas.

That will give you an idea of some of the best spots. The keenest F1 fans will be queuing at the gate before hand to make they get their preferred spot. Hiya, hope you can help. Hoping to come to Silverstone for next years Grand Prix, our 1st time. Just the Sunday race. Thankyou so much! Your tickets include covered Grandstand, numbered seating and entry to an exclusive catering area.

Becketts is a great corner to enjoy the Grand Prix too! Hi, I am planning to buy a tickects to F1 as a birthday present for my husband but not sure which one to buy. Planning to go only on Sunday — would you recommend general admission or a specific seat? Can you go around the stadium if you are booked into a specific seat? Also with general admission are there only standing places? The keenest of the F1 fans know exactly where to go and it will be difficult to beat them to the prime spots!!

Buying a Grandstand ticket makes for a more relaxed day as most stands provide numbered seating but it all depends on your budget. But let me know if you need more help and an idea of your budget would be good. Hi, I am buying F1 ticket for my husband as a Christmas present.

Apologies for the delay in replying! Both Block 1 and 2 have great views of the Woodcote, Luffield corners. I am looking to buy tickets for my partner and I for at silverstone. He is a huge Hamilton fan and I want to get him the best seats possible or area possible. Also should I go for Sunday the race day or the weekend?

Thank you in advance. Never been to FI before so hoping I have made a good choice. Have booked a hotel nearby but had to shop round as the majority of the hotels have hiked the prices up for the FI weekend. We will also be bringing 2 young, but well behaved children with us. Can you please offer some suggestion in terms of the tickets I should be looking at? Will you be bringing your own camping equipment or a motor home.

Thanks Simon. Want a reserved seat for the Sunday with the children but pretty flexible about cost etc. Booking tickets to take my 91 year old Mother to the grand prix. We were thinking of doing park and ride and want to go for a covered grandstand. Where would not involve walking to far from where the buses drop off and would be a good view? Presumably you can take food and drink into the place given I have heard the catering options are awful?

Is Club Silverstone worth the extra? Seems a long way from the track. Hi Graham! The Park and Ride bus service will drop you just outside the Luffield entrance and from here the closest grandstands are Luffield, Abbey and International Pit Straight. Luffield will require the least amount of walking from this entrance and is a covered grandstand with a view of the Luffield complex and a TV screen.

There are also food and drink outlets directly behind this grandstand, but you are welcome to bring food and drink into the circuit as well. The Club Silverstone package bridges the gap between hospitality and regular seating.

You would get a reserved seat in Becketts for all 3 days, an event programme and other souvenirs, and access to a private marquee where you can mingle and purchase food and beverages. However, the Becketts grandstand is located at the other side of the circuit to the Luffield entrance, and so would be quite a walk from the Park and Ride drop off area. I am looking to go to my First GP at Silverstone.

If I buy General Admission tickets is there a specific place I can sit or is it standing room only? Thanks in advance for your help. You will need to be up early on race day to make sure you secure the best spots. Hi EnterF1 I am looking to take my elderly dad to his first ever and prob his last as getting on F1 at Silverstone.

He cannot walk far and really struggles with steps are there any disabled facilities and how do I get tickets for them — I can find all normal access tickets but no mentions of disabled.

Have been to Silverstone before with my Dad and sat at Club, which was great, but I am thinking of going with a friend this year and so we are on a much tighter budget we are 17 and 18 and so I am not sure which tickets to buy!

Was thinking of potentially Farm Band 9? Do you have any feedback on this — what the viewing is like, whether you get to see TV screeens etc.?

And do you have any other good sugestions that would be fairly cheap but also have a quite good view obviously we know the best views are more expensive. Farm and Village A and B is one of my favourite areas this high speed section is a great place for overtaking and also has a great view of the first corner at the start of the race.

The only downside is Village A and Farm are not covered. Thanks Simon! So you can see the first corner from Farm? Also do you know whether you can see the TV screen from Farm block 2?

Also where would you recommend is the best place to camp? Have you looked at our Silverstone Camping Guide? Hi My son 14 and I are total novices to F1, but he is a total F1 nerd his words. If you take a look at GooTickets they do have discounts for Children under And what does the band mean, how far is it?

Thanks a lot for your help. You literally just get to see the cars go past you at full speed and that is it. Thanks for your reply.

I was thinking about a whole weekend, is it lot going on on Friday and Saturday? There is an offer on band 5:Luffield A, is this better then band 11 vale and band 11 Stowe, I was thinking about the cover too.

Please help. Hi Dave! There are lots of great places for General Admission fans to watch from. The Vale section between Stowe and Club corner is massive and allows you to see the cars battle into the last few corners, as well as ducking onto the pit lane.

My personal favourite is watching the cars sweep through Maggots. Scroll down to the General Admission tab on the following page and watch the YouTuve video there. Simply awesome! I have general admission tickets for the race on Sunday.

Where is the best place to see A the cars at relatively slow speed B some overtaking. Went to qualifying last year and sat at Luffield, but the race is a whole different thing, so want a bit of advise on where to see the above. Hi Harry. Check out the Vale section which has a large General Admission enclosure and is situated between Stowe and Club Corner.

You can see the pit entrance and podium from here too. Hi Diana! Great to hear you are coming to the British Grand Prix this year. Stowe is on the opposite side of the track to the main entrance so quite a walk with little ones. Have you checked out the maps on the tickets sites to see locations of stands and prices?

Hi This site is fab, all the advice has given me a much better idea of where to book. As a total novice to this, where does the race start? What would you suggest is best for the action? Is these better than booking national pits straight?

Great 40th birthday present! Lucky man indeed. The race starts at 1pm on the Sunday. Are you thinking of going for the day or for the whole weekend?

Farm Curve will allow you to see the car coming through the first turn at great speed, sweeping past you and then braking for Village and The Loop. Copse C and National Pit Straight are very high speed and the cars are blitzing past you. Please shout if you require any more information! Going for the weekend to get the full experience.

However just be aware that glass bottles are not. We took a big cool box of goodies last year. Much cheaper than the crazy prices at the venue. You can definitely take water and soft drinks in but not sure about alcohol, they might even crack down on soft drinks.

It's worth double checking on the Silverstone website. I can't find much info on the official website. Thanks again :. We where at MG live a two day event and we where able to take in wine and beer in with a full picnic on both days plus bottled water and juice the only stipulation we where made about was NO glass in the paddocks or plastic bottles where fine.
