Parking information
Parking is free of charge in the main spectator car parks, located by the main entrance off the A20. These will be well signposted.

Please note that Southbank parking (the grass slope opposite the rear of the pit garages) is £10 per car. Places will be allotted on a first come, first served basis.

Blue badge holders should follow public signage for disabled parking or alternatively please speak to a member of staff on arrival.

Tickets
All advance sales have now closed. Tickets will be available on the gate at the following prices:

Adult: £28
Teen (13-15): £17
Senior Citizens: £22
Under-13s: FREE

Please use card or contactless payments where possible.

If you have chosen to have tickets posted (not print-at-home) you will need to bring the originals to the circuit as copies and receipts are not accepted.

All advance tickets have now been dispatched and were sent by either Recorded or Special Delivery, meaning a signature is required. If you haven't received them, contact us urgently at [email protected] during midweek office hours.

Print-at-home/e-tickets are emailed on the day of purchase. If you haven't received yours, you can access them by logging on to your MSV account. Your order confirmation email will not gain you admission to the venue - you must have your e-tickets printed or scanned from a mobile device.
Please have your tickets separated before arriving at the gate.

Camping
Ticket holders are welcome to camp free of charge from midday on Saturday 12 August until midday on Monday 14 August, but limited facilities are available during this time. Please head to the main entrance on arrival and you will be directed from there.

Grid walk
A free of charge grid walk is available to all spectators ahead of the first Superformance Ferrari Challenge race of the day. Access will be available from the gate at Paddock Hill Bend from 1.35pm - please arrive a little earlier to join the queue.
