World famous for its long history of high-octane, adrenaline-fuelled, two and four-wheel motor racing, Silverstone hosts the ultimate family-friendly festival and true celebration of motorsport perfect for fans and first timers.

Silverstone’s first motorcycle Grand Prix was held in 1977, and has been the playground of champions ever since. The UK has produced some of the best riders in MotoGP’s history – Mike Hailwood, John Surtees, Phil Read and Barry Sheene just a few of the Brits who’ve won the hearts of the crowds, and championships!

The Monster Energy British Grand Prix is a fierce, weekend-long festival of fun. Simply unmissable, think all action thrills, with a smoking schedule of three full days of thundering bike racing, music acts, topped off with so many activities and entertainment, the family won’t know what to choose from.

Live entertainment kicks off with Basement Jaxx (DJ set) on Friday, Brit Award nominee, Tom Grennan, headlining on Saturday and soul/pop singer/songwriter, Ella Eyre, performing on Sunday. Meanwhile, Monster Energy will be revving up record crowds at their stage with stunt displays, activities, music, and much much more. And, there’s more to see and do in the Entertainment Zone with simulators, live paintings and displays, the Family Zone with games and children’s activities, and the Manufacturer and Trade Village with all the merchandise, apparel, and all the latest bikes you could wish for.

Silverstone is one of the most famous race tracks in the world. And, it all started in 1947, by a group of friends staging a race on a disused airfield from World War II. That was the birth of Silverstone – and in 1948, the Royal Automobile Club hosted the first British Grand Prix where an estimated 100,000 people flocked to see Luigi Villoresi beat 22 others in his Maserati on a the circuit marked by bales, ropes and canvas barriers.
