Hospitality

The Festival of Speed is now the biggest motoring event of its type in the world, attracting over 150,000 people in 2006. It celebrates cars from the earliest steam carriages to the latest F1 cars. Racing cars and bikes come from all over the world and this is the only event outside the Grand Prix circuit attended by many of the current Formula 1 teams. They enjoy a relaxing weekend at the Festival of Speed, so you can expect to see a lot of the top cars in close up. You can also mingle with the heroes of yesterday and today, from Sir Stirling Moss to Jenson Button, and many more. You will never get closer to the most famous cars and personalities from motor racing’s past and present. The Times described the Festival as “The Garden Party of the Gods”, while the Daily Telegraph has called it “The Greatest Show on Earth”.

The hospitality facilities provide a unique and mesmerising mix of close-up motorsport action and exceptional personal entertaining opportunities. Carefully styled pavilions offer bespoke, creative menus in a light and airy summer atmosphere, so you can combine a little luxury with a lot of thrills.

Hospitality

The Festival takes place over three days and runs from 9.00am to 6.00pm each day. Gates open at 7.00am.

Friday sees all the cars try out the hill for the first time. This is a relaxing day for the enthusiast and a chance to feast the eyes on a dazzling collection of cars and bikes and to explore the enormous range of exhibitions: a Motor Show in its own right!

Saturday is the official practice day. Two hundred of the rarest racing cars and motorcycles are put through their paces on two practice runs up the hill.

Sunday sees action in earnest against the clock as competitors battle for class and outright awards. The Red Arrows often add to the excitement with dramatic aerobatics.

Moss Pavilion
This pavilion has been upgraded for 2008 and is now an elevated structure with a revised layout and a covered balcony. From this position on the outside of the track, you will be perfectly placed to see cars roaring off the startline to pass in front of you and turn into the first bend, then follow the action up the Hill to the finish line on the plasma screen.

Moss Pavilion

You will have easy access to the lawn in front of the pavilion, with the track only a few metres away. This is a great way for smaller parties to enjoy the Festival of Speed in style. The Moss pavilion is a shared dining suite that is available for tables of two to twelve people.
Hill Pavilions
The Hill Pavilions provide elevated, balconied and panoramic viewing by the sweeping first bend of the track. From here you can see from the start right up the main straight. Available as one or more tables of ten in a shared pavilion, or forty or upwards in a private facility. The package includes a champagne and canapés reception.

Available as one or more individual tables of ten in a shared pavilion, or thirty or upwards in a private facility.

All packages include: Admission ticket; hospitality badge; reserved car parking; reserved car parking; souvenir programme and radio; tea, coffee and light refreshments on arrival; champagne and canapé reception; extensive three course buffet lunch with wine ( half a bottle per person), beer, orange juice and mineral water; full afternoon tea and plasma screens in your pavilion.
