Motorsport: Silverstone Festival 2023 

The Silverstone Festival marks a new era for the English circuit’s much-loved event with a new name and fresh look for 2023, celebrating all that happens both on and off the racing track. The Home of British Motorsport has played host to the event – formerly known as “The Classic” – since 1990 and the new name celebrates the wider experience now enjoyed by festival-goers.  

Taking place over the bank holiday weekend from 25-27 August 2023, the Silverstone Festival continues to boast an unrivalled line-up of incredible track action as well as record-breaking displays of classic cars. All the crowd-pleasing grids will be returning in 2023 along with some landmark automotive anniversaries, an incredible line-up of off-track entertainment, main stage music and family fun. 

This year an all-new F1 FanZone will be a highlight and the musical line-up includes McFly, Sugababes, ABC and The Christians. “We’re so excited to mix the very best historic motorsport on track, with even more energy and adventure off track to entertain the whole family,” said Nick Wigley, event director.
