Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lap of Lights
Silverstone, home of the Formula 1 British Grand Prix, transforms into a stunning festive spectacle for the return of its iconic Lap of Lights this Christmas. From 12 December to 3 January, visitors can enjoy a chance to follow in the tyre tracks of F1 legends, surrounded by dazzling light tunnels, immersive festive displays, and larger-than-life installations, all choreographed to a dedicated in-car Christmas soundtrack for a magical holiday experience.
Lap of Lights is no ordinary Christmas outing. Families and fans will jump behind the wheel of their own cars to take a breathtaking illuminated trip around the track, with adaptive light installations that react to passing cars turning many famous corners into a festive spectacle, all set to a festive soundtrack from Elf FM. And it’s not just the track that will be sparkling - visitors are encouraged to decorate their cars with festive flair and wear their favourite Christmas jumpers to complete the look.
With interactive surprises at every turn, this multi-sensory drive-through is perfect for all ages – from wide-eyed little elves to lifelong motorsport fans. Whether it’s your first visit or a festive tradition, Lap of Lights 2025 promises heartwarming moments and lifetime memories.
But the Christmas cheer doesn’t stop on track…The magical Ice Trak returns – and it’s still the UK’s only ice rink located INSIDE Formula 1 garages! Glide through the legendary British Grand Prix pits, transformed into a frosty paradise under twinkling lights. Whether you're a seasoned skater or stepping on the ice for the first time, Ice Trak is an unforgettable winter thrill in a truly one-of-a-kind setting.
