Silverstone announce return of Lap of Lights Christmas event

Silverstone have announced the return of their Christmas Lap of Lights event, which will take place over this festive season.

The event sees the home of British motorsport decorated into a glittering festive wonderland, where visitors drive their own cars around the legendary track, guided by a dazzling trail featuring ten immersive light installations, 35 lasers, and over 7,000 LED panels over the track used for the British Grand Prix F1 race among other motorsports events.

Silverstone will host its Lap of Lights events from 12 December 2025 to 3 January 2026.

After finishing the lap, visitors can continue their visit at Silverstone if they so wish with a glide around the Ice Trak rink, weaving through the iconic F1 garages before heading to Silverstone’s festive food and drink garage. Here, guests can savour such yuletide favourites such as German sausages, mince pies, mulled wine, hot chocolate and assorted sweet treats.

New for this year is Santa’s Garage in partnership with LEGO, where attendees can visit Father Christmas’s high-octane workshop to see an exclusive LEGO F1 car and trophy, get up close to real F1 cars and meet Santa and his team of mischievous elf technicians as they prepare his sleigh. It’s a festive pit stop that combines the magic of Christmas with the thrill of motorsport, creating memories to treasure.

And for those looking to tick off their Christmas list, Lap of Lights also offers the perfect opportunity to shop Silverstone’s official merchandise, ideal for finding unique stocking fillers and gifts for motorsport fans of all ages.
