Festival Italia brings "la dolce vita" to Brands Hatch this Saturday (9 August) with a full-throttle celebration of Italian motoring, food, and culture. Tickets are available at discounted advance prices until 4pm on Thursday (6 August) – click here to book!

The event will celebrate one of the world’s most passionate automotive nations with a colourful one-day festival on and off the circuit. Expect a packed programme of Italian-themed racing, with Ferraris, Alfa Romeos and other celebrated marques taking to the Indy circuit.

There will be plenty to enjoy away from the competitive action, including Benetton and Ferrari-enginged Dallara F1 demos, an Italian supercar showcase, Italian road car and bike displays featuring Ferraris, Fiats, Alfa Romeos, and an end-of-day track parade. Plus, an open paddock and free spectator grid walk will give visitors the chance to get closer to the machinery throughout the day. 

Added flavours will come from live cooking demonstrations in The Italian Kitchen presented by Louisa’s Honey and Thermomix, and the Festival Italia Food Market. Live music will also add to a relaxed summer mood, while all ticketholders are invited to soak up the atmosphere in the Birra Moretti beer garden. 

Tickets are available for £27 in advance, with further reductions for 13-15-year-olds and FREE entry for under-13s. For more information and to book now, click here.
