KEEPING YOU SAFE

Here at Silverstone, we take the safety of our fans, staff and volunteers very seriously. We do lots to keep you safe, with security measures that you can see and others behind the scenes that you can’t.

During our major events, we monitor the site using CCTV and use open communication channels with our trained staff and partners. We work closely with Northamptonshire Police and security services to ensure our procedures are up to date and we are following best practice.

WORKING TOGETHER

We work closely with Forward Security, ShowSec, S1SS Stadium Innovative, SEP – Traffic Management, leading up to and during the event weekend, to ensure the safety of all attendees.

Our site is constantly monitored and regularly searched, so when you’re with us you’re in the safe hands of expertly trained staff.
