How do I claim my free museum entry?

During the F1 British Grand Prix Silverstone Museum is open exclusively to event ticket holders with a valid ticket for that day. For example, if you have a Friday event ticket, you’ll be able to access the museum on Friday only. If you hold a 3-day ticket, you’re welcome to visit us on all three days. 

We won’t be releasing timed entry slots for the weekend—instead, we’ll be operating a queue system for all event ticket holders. Our team will be on hand to welcome guests and manage entry so that everyone can enjoy the museum safely and as smoothly as possible.
