PERSONAL ASSISTANT TICKETS

FOR ADULTS
Purchase a ticket for every fee-paying member of your party;

DO NOT purchase a ticket for the person coming as a PA as refunds are not permitted if any tickets are already pre-purchased for PAs.

If a complimentary PA ticket cannot be approved, then we can help you secure an additional ticket at the pricing rate at that current rate.

FOR CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS
Complimentary tickets are available for all teenagers and children with access requirements that prove eligibility via the Access Registration Form. For PA applications, the child’s ticket is complimentary. The PA must pay for a full adult ticket.

A PA is someone aged 18 years and over.

If a complimentary PA ticket cannot be approved, then we can help you secure an additional ticket at the pricing rate at that current rate.

PROOF OF ACCESS REQUIREMENTS: PERSONAL ASSISTANT TICKETS

Alongside your completed access registration form, we can take the following types of documentation into account to award a Personal Assistant ticket.

For a complimentary essential Personal Assistant ticket for adults, we require documents dated within a year of the event.

A valid Access Card with a +1 symbol (please provide a photo of your card)
A copy of a current DLA or PIP award letter showing the recipient's name, address and award rates. For adults, this should show the Enhanced or Higher Rate, and for children, the Middle Rate or above.
Attendance Allowance
Impairment specific registration card / certificate
A recent personal letter of support from your GP, specialist or social worker clearly stating the need for a substantial amount of support from another person
Personal Assistant tickets are only issued where the customer requires a significant and substantial amount of support from another person to attend the event. This support must be beyond what can reasonably be expected to be provided by friends and family already in attendance with you.
Once your application is approved, the ticketing team will add the PA ticket or extra ticket type to your existing booking.

MOBILITY SCOOTERS

Advanced Mobility will be providing electric mobility scooters and manual wheelchairs at CarFest for use by mobility impaired, disabled and elderly visitors.

As Silverstone is a large site with a mixture of gravel, grass and uneven terrain, we would strongly recommend hiring a mobility aid if you find long distances challenging. This can help make your visit more comfortable and enjoyable.

To reserve an electric mobility scooter or manual wheelchair please book online at https://advanced-mobility.co.uk/

CAMPSITE FACILITIES

Please note that a maximum of 6 people (including yourself and your Personal Assistant) may camp per pitch. This helps us make the best use of the available space and accommodate as many guests as possible. We kindly ask all groups to adhere to this limit.

There are accessible toilets and accessible showers (RADAR key required) at the campsite.

In addition to the facilities available on site, we will have a range of support facilities available for guests. Full details, including information about charging facilities for power wheelchairs and mobility scooters, will be published in our Access Guide closer to the event.

There will also be standard facilities for non-disabled campers, and it is politely requested that those campers do not use the accessible facilities. 

Shuttle Services: CarFest will operate a bus & buggy service from the festival entrance to the campsite throughout the day and evening until the event closes. Pick up and drop off locations will be published closer to the event. This service is complimentary and operates on a first-come, first-served basis.

EVENT SITE FACILITIES

GROUND CONDITIONS
Please do consider that CarFest is an outdoor event with grass fields and grounds with gradients/uneven surfaces, whilst we have made a great effort to provide facilities to accommodate for this there will inevitably be some areas that are hard to navigate.

PARKING
For customers on day tickets, there will be a designated Blue Badge car park located close to the circuit main entrance.

To request Blue Badge parking, simply purchase your parking as normal and send us a photo of the front and back of your Blue Badge, together with your booking reference number. We'll then make the necessary amendments to your booking for you.

Advanced Mobility will be located within the blue badge car park.

A buggy shuttle service will operate from Gate 19 (Circuit Entrance) to key locations around the event site throughout the day. Full details of the service, including operating hours, pick-up/drop-off points and routes, will be published in our Access Guide closer to the event. The service will operate on a first come, first served basis.

TOILETS
Accessible toilets and other accessible facilities will be available across the event site. Full details and locations of these facilities will be published in our Access Guide closer to the event.

We will also provide a Changing Places facility for guests who require additional space and support. This will include a height-adjustable changing bench, hoist, and space for Personal Assistants/support workers. As slings cannot be provided, guests should bring their own if required. Information on location, access arrangements and any additional facilities will be included in the Access Guide closer to the event.

VIEWING PLATFORMS & FAMILY ENCLOSURE
We will provide an accessible viewing platform for wheelchair users and mobility scooter users only.

Access to the platform is available on a first come, first served basis and cannot be pre-booked, reserved or pre-registered. During busy periods, a one-in, one-out system may be operated to ensure fair access for all guests.

Guests attending with a Personal Assistant are welcome on the platform; however, Personal Assistants and other companions will need to provide their own seating if required.

Trolleys are not permitted on the viewing platform.

In addition to the platform, there will be a Family Enclosure for our neurodivergent fans, located within the grassed area at the front of the platform. This area is also available on a first come, first served basis, has a maximum capacity, and cannot be reserved or pre-booked.

To ensure these facilities remain accessible to those who need them most, we kindly ask that guests do not reserve spaces for others. Further information about our accessible viewing facilities will be published in the Access Guide closer to the event.

ACCESS TO PERFORMANCE
Information about communication support services, including British Sign Language (BSL) provision and other accessibility adjustments available at the event, will be included in our Access Guide closer to the event. This guide will contain details of the facilities and support available to help you plan your visit.

NEURODIVERSITY

We will have relaxation activities and sensory spaces available for guests of all ages to enjoy during the event. Further information about these facilities, including locations and any available support services, will be published in our Access Guide closer to the event.
