So best place to stay imo is whittlebury hall (might be sold out though) as that’s very close to the track. Or maybe stay on site? I had a nose around the glamping suites last year and they looked really nice! If you’ve got grandstand tickets, you’ll be assigned a seat (you normally pick when booking) but if you had general admission seats you don’t have a seat, either sit on the grass, stand or bring a chair. If you do just have general admission, I would really recommend getting inner track access. Imo I think there’s lots to do especially at the fan zone area. Also if you want to spot the drivers, you can see them come in too. You’ll LOVE it, especially if it’s good weather!!

hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions etc
