Silverstone Festival is an amazing way to end your summer with a bang! Featuring non-stop historic racing action, live music from chart-topping artists, fun for the whole family, and amazing food, it's the perfect way to cap off the festival season.

Formerly known as Silverstone Classic, this year's Festival promises to be bigger and better than ever before. There’s a star-studded line-up of iconic race cars from throughout history celebrating 75 years of motorsport at Silverstone, and incredible live music performances. You won't want to miss headliners McFly who are set to perform some of their biggest hits, along with songs from their latest album, Power To Play. Other stand-out performances over the weekend will include the Sugababes, ABC, and the Christians. Get in the mood with the Festival's official Spotify playlist, featuring all the hits from the headlining acts here.

There are plenty of fun activities for the whole family too, with the new Fan Zone featuring the latest Formula 1 show cars, racing simulators and a pit-stop challenge, and you can even watch the Dutch Grand Prix live across the weekend!

Fans of Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime can look forward to the return of the Diddly Squat Farm Shop “popping-up” again at Foodie Fest with an expanded presence for 2023. And foodies won't want to miss out on the culinary delights of Silverstone Kitchen Live where you can watch chef demos, attend tasting masterclasses, and check out the finest locally-sourced produce at the artisan market.

Of course, no festival at Silverstone would be complete without some exciting racing action, and this year's event promises to be one of the best yet. From flat-out qualifying laps on Friday to wheel-to-wheel racing on Saturday and Sunday, there will be plenty of heart-pumping action to enjoy. And particularly special for 2023 will be our 75th anniversary celebrations which include a glittering parade of iconic Grand Prix cars that have raced at Silverstone over the years, plus we’ll pay homage to 1948 with a dedicated showdown featuring classic front-engined Grand Prix cars dating back to the circuit's earliest days. The 75th Anniversary Grand Prix Trophy for Front Engine GP Cars will be a highlight of the event, featuring an evocative field of iconic Aston Martins, Ferraris, Maseratis, and Scarabs all battling it out for the trophy with the field including cars from the very first Grand Prix race back in ‘48.
