Hotels and accommodation guide for the British Grand Prix

With the British Grand Prix being one of the most anticipated weekends on the Formula 1 calendar, finding the right place to stay near Silverstone can make all the difference. Whether you're looking for a luxury hotel with trackside views, a glamping tent under the stars, or a more budget-friendly stay in a nearby town, there are options to suit every kind of F1 fan.

Here’s a practical guide to the best accommodation choices for race weekend — from hotels and hospitality to campsites and local towns.

‍

Trackside hotels

Escapade Silverstone
For fans looking to stay close to the circuit in style, Escapade offers contemporary trackside residences with direct views of the circuit. Each unit features open-plan living, kitchen space, terraces, and wellness amenities — perfect for a comfortable and private Grand Prix weekend. Availability is limited and premium-priced, but the location and facilities are unmatched.

Whittlebury Hall Hotel & Spa
Located just a short walk from the track, Whittlebury Hall is a favorite among race teams and long-time attendees. It offers a full spa, fine dining, and spacious rooms. Packages during the F1 weekend often include breakfast, track transfers, and premium parking. The hotel also offers event-specific hospitality packages for those looking to combine accommodation with race access.

Note on Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone
Although it normally functions as a trackside hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn is converted into corporate hospitality suites during the British Grand Prix weekend. That means it is not open for public booking during the event. If you're looking for similar views or comfort, Escapade or nearby hotels in Whittlebury or Towcester are better options.

Camping and glamping near Silverstone

Camping is a big part of the Silverstone tradition. It’s social, affordable, and keeps you close to the action all weekend.

The Pop-Up Hotel
This high-end glamping option is set up specifically for race weekend and located on the inside of the circuit. Expect real beds, dining tents, and more upscale amenities than your average tent.

The Ridings Glamping
Surrounded by woodland and just a few minutes from the circuit, this spot offers pre-pitched bell tents with home comforts — perfect for fans who want a quieter, nature-based experience without the hassle of setup.

intentsGP
One of the most popular glamping services for F1 fans in the UK, intentsGP offers bell tents and larger setups for groups. Facilities include showers, lounges, and communal spaces for watching the race highlights. Great for solo fans and groups alike.

Hamiltion Fields
Hamiltion Fields are a designated camping sites for Formula 1 fans at the British Grand Prix, located just 1 mile from Gate 5 which is the entry to Copse Corner. This camping site you can get situated with camper vans or tents if that is what you have. It is a great way to stay close to the track, keeping costs down as well as embracing everything the British Grand Prix has to offer.

Nearby towns and villages to stay in

If hotels and campsites at the circuit are fully booked — which happens often — nearby towns offer a range of alternative accommodations.

Towcester
Just a few kilometers from Silverstone, Towcester has a solid mix of pubs, hotels, and guesthouses. Look for options like The Saracens Head Hotel or Villiers Hotel for central locations and reliable service. Some places may offer shuttle access to the track.

Brackley
About 7 miles from the circuit, Brackley is smaller and quieter than Towcester but still close enough to make it a practical base. It's also home to the Mercedes F1 team headquarters, making it a nice tie-in for fans.

Milton Keynes & Northampton
Both towns are larger, with plenty of hotel chains, Airbnb options, and public transport links. If you don’t mind a short drive or shuttle trip to Silverstone each day, these towns provide more availability — and sometimes better pricing.

Booking and travel tips

• Book Early: Local hotels and campsites often sell out months in advance. As soon as you know you’re going, lock something in.
• Consider Shuttle Access: Traffic on race day can be heavy. If you’re not walking distance, try to book somewhere that offers direct transport to and from the circuit.
• Don’t Rule Out Camping: Even if you’re not a camper, many glamping services now offer real beds, hot showers, and evening entertainment — with the added bonus of being right near the gates.
