All the Gear and All the Ideas! How We Do The British Grand Prix in Style…

Each year, we strive to go bigger and better, and our amazing campers never fail to impress with their setups (see for yourself). From delicious food to top-tier entertainment, we ensure a memorable experience for everyone.

For the F1 Food Fanatics

Racing stirs up quite an appetite, and we catered to it with over 15 fantastic food and drink outlets. Our new estate coffee hotspot, Forge Coffee, located in our Paddocks, provided much-needed morning fuel—just ask Valtteri Bottas! We served up mouth-watering Thai food from Baan Sabai Thai, including Spring Rolls and Pad Thai. At the Atrium and Pavilion, our dedicated staff worked tirelessly, exceeding 16-hour days, to deliver the best culinary delights to British F1 enthusiasts. Campers could indulge in gourmet burgers and hotdogs or enjoy a longer pit stop with pizza and customisable pasta. It was thirsty work watching those races, so Wets of Wheels kept everyone hydrated with cocktails during Happy Hours, and our beer tent was perfect for cheering with friends.

Entertainment Made Easy

At Whittlebury Park, the British Grand Prix weekend feels like a festival. There's always something happening, whether it's live music, special guest talks, F1 simulators, or live sports broadcasts (this year, we thought it might be coming home!). Pop-up shops met all your food and drink needs, and last-minute Lando or Lewis merchandise was readily available because one more hat in your collection is never too much. When the track went quiet, our engines kept roaring with activities and celebrations throughout the weekend.

Hospitality Headstarts

What can I say? We hosted over 1,000 Corporate Hospitality guests across 15 different groups and three venues on our estate. From brand activations and VIP filming to F1 driver interviews and evening drinks receptions, our team handled it all with finesse. Early welcome breakfasts and VIP meet-and-greets were just a few of the highlights. Despite the hustle and bustle, our team delivered an exceptional experience for BGP, and while we are tired, we are already gearing up and taking bookings for BGP 2025!

Pitch Up, Then Head for the Pits!

Every year, our campers outdo themselves with creative setups. This year was no exception, with sports day themes featuring fluorescent tutus and headbands, ultimate party zones with light shows, and RVs fit for royalty. We also had luxurious glamping options for those who prefer a touch of comfort. I had the fantastic opportunity to interview some of our long-time campers, some of whom have been joining us for over 20 years. It was amazing to hear what fuels their passion for F1 and why they choose Whittlebury Park. The buzz and electric atmosphere during the British Grand Prix weekend is something we all cherish, and we can't wait to welcome both regulars and newcomers next year. Let's see how big we can go!

As soon as the last British Grand Prix ends, our team is ready to get set and go towards preparing for the next one. This event is the highlight of our year, and the Whittlebury Park team can't wait to dive back into the action.

See you at our starting line next year!
