2026 Porsche Sunstede Festival
Terms and Conditions
TERMS & CONDITIONS: IMPORTANT! THE TICKET FOR THE RELEVANT DAY MUST BE PRESENTED TO GAIN EVENT ENTRY. ENTRY WILL BE DENIED SHOULD A VALID TICKET NOT BE PRESENTED.
The purchase of a ticket/tickets by the purchaser ("Purchaser" or "Ticket Holder" or “you/your”) to gain entry to the Silverstone motor racing circuit and the Porsche Experience Centre (together, the “Venue”) for Porsche’s festival of car culture and community, titled ‘Porsche Sunstede’ (the “Event”) constitutes acceptance of the following terms and conditions pursuant to which Silverstone Circuits Limited (“SCL”) is prepared to grant entry to the Venue and the Event. The Event is hosted by SCL at the Venue and organised by Porsche Cars Great Britain Limited (the “Event Organiser”).
REFERENCES IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO A "TICKET HOLDER" SHALL, WHERE APPLICABLE, INCLUDE ANY CHILD ACCOMPANYING THAT TICKET HOLDER TO THE EVENT. ACCORDINGLY, ALL OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED ON A TICKET HOLDER UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING IN RELATION TO HEALTH AND SAFETY, CONDUCT AND COMPLIANCE WITH VENUE RULES, SHALL APPLY EQUALLY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACCOMPANYING CHILD, AND THE TICKET HOLDER SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT ANY ACCOMPANYING CHILD COMPLIES WITH ALL SUCH OBLIGATIONS.
TICKETS REMAIN THE PROPERTY OF SCL AT ALL TIMES. BREACH OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN ALL TICKETS PURCHASED BY THE TICKET PURCHASER OR HELD BY A TICKET HOLDER BEING CANCELLED WITHOUT REFUND, ENTRY TO THE VENUE BEING REFUSED AND/OR EJECTION FROM THE VENUE (IF ENTRY HAS ALREADY BEEN GRANTED); ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE AT SCL’S SOLE DISCRETION.
1. The price payable for each ticket shall be as set out on the website or as otherwise notified by SCL. All
prices are inclusive of VAT.
2. When the Purchaser clicks the ‘order now’ button (or equivalently marked button), the Purchaser is
offering to buy the tickets at the fee stated in accordance with Clause 1 which, if accepted by SCL, will
result in a binding contract. It is therefore important that the Purchaser reads and accepts these terms
and conditions before submitting their order.
3. The fee for each ticket is payable by the Purchaser to SCL.
4. With regards to each order of a ticket:
4.1 once the Purchaser has completed their order, they will be asked to confirm that it is correct.
If it is not, the Purchaser can amend or cancel the order before submitting it. It is the
Purchaser's responsibility to ensure the order is correct before submission. Payment will be
taken when the Purchaser clicks the ‘order now’ button (or equivalently marked button). This
does not indicate SCL’s acceptance of the Purchaser’s offer, and the Purchaser will be
refunded in the unlikely event that SCL refuses the offer;
4.2 SCL will send a confirmation email to the Purchaser on receipt of the order. This is not an
acceptance of the Purchaser’s order, but an acknowledgement that SCL has received the order
and that SCL is processing it; and
4.3 the contract between SCL and the Purchaser will be formed when SCL sends an email to the
Purchaser confirming that the order has been completed.
5. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that if SCL has not received payment for the ticket, SCL shall
have the right in its absolute sole discretion to cancel the booking and SCL will be free to sell these
tickets. Tickets shall not be issued until payment has been received in cleared funds by SCL.
6. Once purchased, the Purchaser is not entitled to cancel or change their ticket(s) because the rights of
cancellation under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges)
Regulations 2013 do not apply to this Agreement. However, the Purchaser has legal rights if SCL does
not comply with its obligations owed to them in these terms and conditions with reasonable care and
skill. Advice about the Purchaser’s legal rights is available from the local Citizens' Advice Bureau or
Trading Standards Office. Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.
7. The ticket is purchased for the Event only. For the avoidance of doubt, if another event is taking place
at the same time as the Event at a different area of the Venue, and you wish to attend both events, you
will require a separate ticket for the other event.
8. If the Event does not fully take place you may be entitled to a full or partial refund. SCL’s refund policy
can be found here. Subject to Clause 6 above, SCL will not issue refunds in any other circumstances.
You may, at time of purchase, choose to take out ‘missed event cover’ entitling you to repayment of
your purchase amount from our third-party partner in certain circumstances. Optional ticket protection
may be available at checkout via XCover. Claims must be made directly to XCover, and are subject to
their terms.
9. Tickets are not transferable to other events (including but not limited to events that may be happening
at the same time on the same day), and are strictly not to be offered for resale. For the avoidance of
doubt, no ticket for the Event shall be sold or offered for sale for any form of fee or reward or used in
promotions without the prior written consent of SCL first being obtained and without complying with
these terms and conditions in all respects. Tickets must only be used for personal or private use. No
ticket for the Event shall be used by any person for advertising, promotional or commercial purposes
including without limitation, prizes, competitions, contests or sweepstakes without the prior written
consent of SCL first being obtained. If a ticket is purchased from an unauthorised reseller, resold or
transferred for profit or for commercial benefit or gain (including as part of a promotion or prize) or as
part of any hospitality package or similar arrangement by anyone without SCL’s authority it will become
void and the holder may be refused entry to or ejected from the Event and/or the Venue. The Ticket
Holder will not be entitled to any refund and no compensation will be offered for a voided ticket. Ticket
Holders agree to fully compensate SCL, and each of their affiliates, for all costs and expenses (including
reasonable legal expenses) incurred as a direct result of all and any claims howsoever arising from any
third parties as a result of the contravention of this condition.
10. Tickets will be issued electronically via a digital app (as “Mobile Tickets”) with a secure barcode bespoke
for each ticket. Please ensure each individual seeking to enter the Venue has suitable access to the app
before attempting to enter the Venue. The link to the Digital Ticket User Guide can be found here:
https://www.silverstone.co.uk/digital-tickets-user-guide. Tickets should only be purchased through
SCL or an official ticket agency. Any attempt to present any other ticket will lead to refusal of admission
and possible prosecution. Unauthorised vendors will be prosecuted.
11. Junior tickets are for children aged 12 to 16 years at the time of the Event (“Junior Ticket”). SCL reserves
the right to require photographic evidence of proof of age.
12. Child tickets are for children under the age of 12 at the time of the Event and are free of charge (“Child
Ticket”). SCL reserves the right to require evidence of proof of age.
13. In order to purchase a ticket from us, you must be 17 years of age at the time of purchase, and of legal
capacity to enter into a binding contract. For the avoidance of doubt:
13.1 a person aged 17 or over at the time of purchase may purchase a ticket for themselves and
others aged 17 or over; and
13.2 a person aged 17 or over may purchase a Junior Ticket (for children aged 12 to 16 years at the
time of the Event) or a Child Ticket (for children under the age of 12 at the time of the Event).
14. Children using a Junior Ticket or a Child Ticket must be accompanied, and supervised at all times, by a
Ticket Holder. Each Ticket Holder may bring up to a maximum of four children (including, for the
avoidance of doubt, those aged 12 and under at the time of the Event). Each Junior Ticket or Child Ticket
must have the identical status to that of the Ticket Holder.
15. SCL and the Event Organiser reserve the right to refuse admission and to remove persons from the
Venue who do not comply with the Venue rules, these terms and conditions, the Events code of conduct

the purpose of locking on.
(xx) Electric Scooters - it is illegal to use a privately owned scooter in public areas. During public
events, the Silverstone venue is deemed a public area and therefore these are not
permitted.
16. SCL further reserves the right to conduct security searches of persons and their belongings (including
their vehicles, if applicable) to ensure the safety of persons at the Event. Pass-outs and re-admissions
to the Venue shall be granted at SCL’s discretion. Re-admission shall only be possible if Mobile Ticket
