About The Company
For more than 75 years, we’ve been at the heart of British motorsport, creating iconic sporting moments, delivering world-class events and welcoming fans from across the globe. Today, Silverstone is one of the world’s most recognised sporting venues and a thriving year-round destination for sport, entertainment, leisure and business. Each year, more than two million visitors join us across our 600-acre estate. We’re proud to host the Formula 1 British Grand Prix and British Grand Prix MotoGP, alongside a packed calendar of major motorsport events, live entertainment and unforgettable experiences. But Silverstone is about much more than race weekends. Visitors can take on the circuit with Silverstone Drive, experience high-speed racing at Kart Silverstone, explore more than 75 years of motorsport history at Silverstone Museum, stay trackside at Escapade Silverstone or Hilton Garden Inn, and enjoy an expanding programme of live music, hospitality, conferences and events. Our stages have welcomed some of the world’s biggest artists, including Stormzy, RAYE, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Fatboy Slim and Sam Fender, bringing a new energy to one of Britain’s most legendary sporting venues. Behind it all is a team driven by ambition, innovation and a shared belief in creating experiences people never forget. From global sporting events and major commercial partnerships to destination development, sustainability and new ways for fans to experience Silverstone, we’re continually racing towards what comes next. This is where history is made, boundaries are pushed and extraordinary happens.
