MOTORBIKE PARKING

Motorbike parking at the British Grand Prix is FREE. There is no need to book in advance, simply arrive at the circuit and park in one of our many official car parks. 

PARKING

We highly recommend travelling to the circuit using our Park & Ride service or on one of our Bus Transfers. There is a very limited number of parking spaces available near the venue and the roads to our car parks will get extremely busy. 

As you approach the event you will see our event traffic signage. At this point DO NOT follow your sat nav. Instead follow the blue public parking route and our traffic team will direct you to a car park on arrival.

Please note Silverstone is in a rural location, and many of our car parks are located on grass land, which can be up to a 30-minute walk from our main gates. Please allow at least an extra hour for your journey. 

BLUE BADGE PARKING

We have a very limited number of accessible car parking spaces available at the venue. Our accessible car park is located at one of the events main entrances. To apply for an accessible car parking space please purchase parking online and then send us a copy of your blue badge (front and back) to [email protected] 

Once confirmed we’ll supply you with an accessible parking pass. You will be required to display this alongside your blue badge to gain access to the car park and both passes must remain on display for the duration of your visit.
