This winter, Silverstone’s Lap of Lights is back by popular demand — transforming the home of British motorsport into a glittering festive wonderland. Bigger, brighter, and bolder than ever, the world-famous Grand Prix circuit becomes a breathtaking blend of speed, sparkle, and seasonal spirit.
Drive Through a Festive Spectacle
Visitors can drive their own car around the iconic Silverstone track, following a dazzling trail of ten immersive light installations, 35 lasers, and over 7,000 LED panels. The Lap of Lights merges the thrill of motorsport heritage with the magic of Christmas — creating a one-of-a-kind festive experience perfect for families, friends, and racing enthusiasts.
After your lap, keep the magic alive by gliding around the Ice Trak rink, which winds through Silverstone’s legendary F1 garages. Then, refuel at the Festive Food and Drink Garage, serving up winter favourites like German sausages, mince pies, and mulled wine — alongside indulgent hot chocolates and sweet treats.
Santa’s Garage in Partnership with LEGO
New for 2025, Santa’s Garage — created in partnership with LEGO — is the ultimate stop for younger visitors. Step inside Father Christmas’s workshop to see an exclusive LEGO F1 car and trophy, meet Santa and his team of elf engineers, and explore real F1 cars up close. It’s a festive pit stop that fuses the magic of Christmas with the thrill of motorsport, making for memories that last a lifetime.
Shop, Skate, and Celebrate
Lap of Lights is also the perfect chance to find unique Christmas gifts for the motorsport lover in your life. Explore Silverstone’s official merchandise store to pick up stylish stocking fillers and collectable memorabilia.
The experience features themed zones that shimmer and react as you drive by — all synced to ELF FM, Silverstone’s own holiday radio station spinning racing beats and Christmas classics. Route highlights include:
-
Glittering Gateway through Copse Corner
-
Sledspeed Straight racing past Maggots and Becketts
