Just booked tickets for DH’s birthday.
I got the grandstand package on a day entry but I don’t really know what that means!

I have been a coupe of times as I am a petrol head and I did enjoy it (personally prefer the Revival but it is a completely different event).

I have never had grandstand tickets as prefer to walk around it all but it is very popular to sit in grandstand so it must be good.

It is very loud but you get to see some incredible cars. One year there were 6 Bugatti type 41s although one was actually a replica. There were only seven made and only 6 remain so this was astonishing to see 5 of them plus the replica.

The refreshments are very expensive but be careful as some of it is utterly dire but others are actually fantastic and almost worth the high price.

Thank you so much.
Is there a dress code?

No dress code unless you’re using the hospitality tents. Comfy shoes are a must as you will be doing a lot of walking.

It will be very loud (but not as loud as the Revival) so consider bringing some ear plugs.

If you need accommodation then book soon as everywhere gets booked up (there are some good AirBnB places around too).

Allow plenty of time for traffic, the roads get very busy.
