We Are Looking Forward to Welcoming You!

BEFORE YOU COME!

  • Check your Camping Booking & Which Day you have Paid to Arrive 
  • Silverstone will be busy again this year so:
    • Consider coming earlier – Change your arrival day
    • Consider going home on Monday – No Extra Charge. Just stay on site & go by noon on Monday
    • If you have to go home on Sunday, be prepared to be very patient & delay departure to mid evening.
    • Stay on site, use the food and shop to reduce congestion or enjoy the Silverstone entertainment a little longer
  • Think about what you pack.
    • Consider that you’ll need all your first aid and safety items including equipment  for putting out any fire on your pith
    • Remember it gets really dark as the campsite is open countryside – a head touch might be very handy
    • Pack sensible shoes – the ground may be uneven in places.   We have had a very wet year, the soil then dried hard quick and so the ground is a bit uneven under foot as well as with vehicles. Please take care.
    • Remember that sheep and cattle graze the land and so broken glass isn’t good for their feet – so ideally please bring plastic bottles.
    • Lastly we suggest you bring your card and cash, as when the phone signal shrink due to the vast crowds, may phones struggle to perform. You might also want to screen print or photograph important stuff before you come.
    • Check DRC’s F1 News page for F1 site info, food, shop etc

  • Please note Electric booking in possible  from 7am to 9pm only
  • Whilst you can pick your own pitch, you MUST fill the Electric Pitches from the furthest point across in each Grid of Pitches – otherwise it is very difficult for later arrivals to manoeuvre into position. Do not leave Empty Pitches.
  • Please note that not all Generators will run until Saturday as the site fills, so if you want electric you will need to pitch on the Electric Grids that are Live with Electric!
    If you are unsure it’s probably best to ASK!.  Wait at EHU Office as EHU staff may be busy helping others.
  • Fire Safety Advice is that ‘Live In’ Items (Caravan, Tent, Campervan etc) are NOT pitched side by side in case of gas bottle explosion or fire spread.
    THIS IS IMPORTANT when you lay out your pitch.
  • You MUST Keep everything in your 7mx8m electric pitch. Extra cars can be parked elsewhere if needed. You MUST ask where to put these, they should be within 100m
  • Filling up your Water  – Please wheel water to your pitch once you have pitched it will not be possible to manoeuvre your van once you are pitched. 
    Please Arrive Full of Water, or if you really must…. please fill up as you arrive at the Second Toilet/Shower Block which you will pass en-route to the Electric Pitches.  You need  hosepipe to join the taps as we are not allowed to provide these.
