The Porsche Experience Centre is situated at Silverstone Circuit, the home of British motorsport, in the heart of England. Located next to Hangar Straight, we are on the site of the WRC Rally of Great Britain Special Stage used in the late 1990s. The specially designed track incorporates six elements; Handling Circuit, The Straights, Kick Plate, Ice Hill, Low Friction and Off-Road circuits. This environment enables visitors to be guided through a variety of different situations in wet and dry conditions, as well as simulating ice and snow driving with the use of specially constructed surfaces. The driving experiences are designed to focus on a particular type of driving, model of Porsche or driving environment. Whether you are hoping to attain new skills, polish up some old ones or just have a great time driving, we can help find the right experience for you.

Had an excellent day at the Porsche Driving Experience. Hosted by Kay and Keith who were great fun and out us both at ease in the cars. Food was nice and the driving experience was brilliant; Kat was a great instructor and made me feel like I wasn’t a complete duffer. At the end of the day Kat drove me around the track and she is an amazing driver and I realized that I had been pootling around the track in reality. Can’t recommend the day enough and will be back again.

My 2 sisters and I had a private cookery lesson with Anita - held in her own home it was a lovely informal learning environment - and Anita was full of interesting ideas and advice about all things connected with Indian cookery! We learnt how to make Naan (and an amazing way to cook it), 2 types of curry, some wonderful onion and spinach pakora, not to mention rice and potato cakes! Not only were we tasting the dishes as we made them we got to take them home with us! For anyone who loves cooking and wants to learn how to cook 'real' Indian dishes this is a great experience.

After watching Ken Block and other quality rally drivers on TV I had wondered for a while about how/where do you get a rally licence and some vital practice at how to drive a rally stage. The 2-day intensive package and BARS test with Silverstone Rally School did exactly what I wanted. Dorne was more than helpful and answered any questions that I had as well as booking accommodation for me at the Homeside B&B (literally a 2 min drive away) which was also fantastic. Andy's knowledge and tuition is top-notch and I found it it is really helpful to watch him do the laps first before you then take over. He makes it look ridiculously easy (it's not) and he is very clear that practice makes perfect so you spend virtually the entire day in the cars. The clubhouse and circuit has been set up as covid secure so risks have been assessed and minimised. The majority of my 2 days was spent driving FWD, RWD and AWD cars and working out how they handle differently at speed around the circuit. Lots of time spent handbrake turning, left foot braking, more throttle, donuts, less steering wheel turning etc. Great fun for anyone, really informative and safety is paramount at all times. Andy tempers the course to what you are after so I asked to learn as much as I could within the 2 days and tried to push as best as I could regarding my ability. I came away a far better driver than when I arrived and now with a rally licence I am looking forward to booking in for my first official rally. I've had a race licence (ARDS) for a few years now and it's obviously very different but I do think this course also gives lots of good tips and techniques which will also help improve track driving. I will definitely be back to Silverstone in the meantime to keep improving my skill set- many thanks to Andy and Dorne

In January, I organised an Italian Cookery Class for 13 family members ranging from 12 to 80 years old for an 80th Birthday Party. The cookery class started at 10.30 am and we were taken into a beautiful modern kitchen and dining area suitable for the group. The class was taken by Carmela - she was FANTASTIC! Friendly, fun and a wealth of knowledge of the Italian culture... We cooked a yummy spread of food then ate it with wine for lunch.. I would recommend Bay Tree Cookery class for a family activity, hen do or just a cool thing to do with a partner. Value for money was amazing.
