I've booked the Sim Suite for the F1 weekend, do I have to queue?

While admission is complimentary, we appreciate any donations towards our education workshops and outreach initiatives.

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.

The queue will be at the rear entrance of museum. If you require use of our Disabled Toilet / Changing Places facility, please make yourself known to a member of our team before joining the queue.

Our Sims Suite will have an exclusive entrance for the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, at the track side rear entrance. A member of our staff will be able to direct you.

We recommend wearing suitable clothing for all weathers and comfortable shoes. Don't forget your phone or camera for photo opportunities too!
