Silverstone Museum’s unique exclusive event spaces are helping drive business success in the region. The museum, located trackside at the iconic Silverstone circuit, home of British motor racing, has a wide range of corporate private hire options geared to regional businesses.
The popular venue has four individual meeting spaces, regularly hired by corporate clients, motorsport teams and businesses, including Caterham and Radical. With a range of options available for exclusive hire, the museum is proving to be a popular commercial choice for corporate away days, business events, team building sessions and seminars.
Businesses booking any of the corporate hire spaces situated next to the world-famous circuit can also enjoy access to a range of additional exclusive extras at the museum, where there are multiple options for daytime hire of the venue’s boardrooms and conference facilities, as well as the exhibition dining space.
Silverstone Museum Head of Events & Memberships, Penelope Walsh, said:
“Silverstone Museum is the perfect location for corporate events, expos, meetings and private functions. Where else would corporate guests be able to host their meeting events at a venue that’s home to historical racing cars and motorbikes and be immersed in the past, present and future of British motor racing?
“Our range of flexible and modern event spaces have the capacity to accommodate any requests and groups of all sizes. We ensure all corporate events and meetings run seamlessly as well as being a more memorable occasion. We welcome bespoke requests, which we can tailor to meet all special requirements, and our affordable options offer excellent flexibility for companies of all sizes.
“Whatever the requirements, whether it’s for a more intimate seminar or meeting for 20 colleagues or functions and meetings booked for 60, 120 or 250 guests, the museum’s portfolio of spaces can accommodate and be tailored to each booking.”
As well as the opportunity to exclusively hire the museum’s meeting spaces for expos, exhibitions and conferences, there is also the option to include some exclusive extras including:
- Simulator hire
- Museum talks and tours
- Scalextric hire
The museum’s latest new attraction, its state-of-the-art simulator suite is available for team building events, tournaments and corporate entertainment events, where guests can drive the ultimate racing simulator experience on bespoke cutting-edge rigs, as utilised by professional drivers and race teams.
Some additional event packages provide businesses with the opportunity to also enjoy exclusive access to the museum’s hugely popular Scalextric track. Competitive colleagues can race on the world-famous Silverstone Formula 1 circuit, which was recreated for the museum’s On Track Scalextric exhibit, where racers can pick up a throttle and enjoy epic battles with iconic cars around the two-lane Grand Prix circuit.
Each race uses specialist technology to track individual racers’ lap times, allowing corporate guests to race head-to-head with teammates or set their own personal best lap time, which makes for a high octane, adrenalin-fuelled experience.
The museum’s team of experienced experts are also available to assist with the extra option to book museum talks and tours for bespoke business bookings. These tailored tours showcase the museum’s extensive collection of historic iconic racing cars, motorbikes and unique motorsport memorabilia celebrating the past, present and future of British motor racing.
To keep colleagues fuelled and focused, there are a range of refreshments on the menu with a wide selection of food and drink options, from breakfast baskets to hot and cold buffets. All dietary requirements can be catered for by the venue’s in-house caterers Graysons. The Caterham team host annual events at the Museum and said:
“We have hosted our new Academy Driver Seminar at the Silverstone Museum for the last three years and the venue has been perfect for the event… the conference room is a great space for the event and is a diverse space which can be used for different functions. The event team at the museum are lovely to work with and help at all stages from planning, set up and on the day. With the hire of the conference rooms our drivers had the added benefit of seeing the museum once the event was finished, which is a great bonus and always a hit… it has been the perfect event space for us and we would recommend the Silverstone Museum as an alternative event space”.
