3. F1 - British Grand Prix
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 185 reviews
As close as we'll ever get to a real-life Fast and Furious scene, the Formula One British Grand Prix racing car event takes place in the legendary Silverstone stadium. Since 1950 the former aerodrome has served as the leading racing car track holding host to legendary drivers such as Guiseppe Farina and Lewis Hamilton. While the event is always televised, nothing beats the live engine roars and contagious adrenaline. It’s all extreme nail biting and constant screeching as the world’s fastest cars leave you in a state of anxiety as they compete for the title of ‘Formula One World Champion’.

We went to the British GP this year in a group of 7 but met some more people there that we knew and had a great time. We stayed at the Woodlands campsite which has fantastic facilities and is like it's own separate festival with loads of entertainment on throughout the weekend. The shower and toilet facilities are kept clean by a group of hard working youngsters and the campsite itself is generally very clean. There is a buzz around the site from day 1. As for the racing we could sit anywhere on the Friday and Saturday as we had a grandstand ticket for the Sunday, we sat in Club and Abbey for practice and qualifying and I can recommend either of these for seeing the cars at their best. For the raceday we sat in the uncovered grandstand at Vale (our 3rd time doing this) and the action you see from there is fantastic! Lots of food outlets, bars and merchandise stalls along wth activities all around the track makes for a great weekend. See you in 2020!!

Had a fabulous morning pumpkin picking at Mr Pumpkin. Amazing safety measures in place for Covid and all staff were very helpful. So many different pumpkins to choose from and loved the maze with a little surprise half way round ????♂️ Grabbed a homemade burger and hot chocolate while the kids enjoyed a few rides. This is our second year and we hope to be back next year. Can’t recommend enough to our friends.
