About us
Silverstone Museum brings the extensive heritage of Silverstone and British motor racing to life for hundreds of thousands of visitors a year, through a dynamic, interactive and educational visitor experience. Our amazing museum includes a permanent exhibition that takes visitors on an exciting two hour journey through motor racing past, present and future. The exhibition is housed in the only remaining WWII hanger on the site, which has been fully refurbished and re-clad to create a fantastic, authentic backdrop. The latest technology is used to tell the amazing stories of the people that have been part of the site’s history, from medieval monks and WW2 air crew to the racing drivers, riders, engineers and marshals of today. We also house and manage a Collections and Research Centre, offering museum and archive accredited storage for the unique British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC) archive and other motor sport collections as well as a specialist library and learning space for school groups. Our aim is to ensure that the heritage of Silverstone and British motor racing is explained and interpreted for today’s public as well as being protected for future generations, celebrating both the circuit and the country’s position at the very heart of the global motor sport industry by explaining their historic and continuing importance to the sport.

What an incredible day at Silverstone Museum supporting their #Girlswill campaign with Girls on Track UK. A truly incredible panel along with a networking session which hopefully inspires the next generation of females in motorsport, definitely makes for a successful Saturday! Huge thanks to the incredible women who were involved today on the panel from Aston Martin F1 Team, Sosanna Ni Dhubhain, Helen C., Bethan Thomas, Helen Makey and Carol Glenn who were hosted brilliantly by GoT UK community member Saira Ahmed. An additional thanks goes to Ellie Agar, Mabel Dautzenberg, Evani Mannur, Kathryn Richards PhD, Claire Kirkpatrick, LOWENNA BROOKFIELD-CLEARY, Sofia Mattacola and Anna Sentance for coming along to support the event and to so importantly network with the aspiring and passionate next generation of females in the sport. I feel so blessed to have the role I do and to faciliate opportunities like this and to see first hand change for the better!
