With close proximity parking and a food marquee behind the grandstand, Club Silverstone bridges the gap between full hospitality and standard grandstand tickets.

The General Admission areas allow you to change location throughout the race. On our terrace areas you will be able to get as close to the action as possible, viewing some of the most famous areas of the track.
