Silverstone Lap of Lights [Gifted trip

We were gifted free entry to Lap of Lights, I have not been asked to write about our visit. All words are my own opinion.

I was incredibly excited to receive an email inviting my children and I to Silverstone and the lap of lights. It has been a dream of mine for many years to visit Silverstone and more so to drive on the track. The Friday before our visit we had very heavy snow and I was getting nervous we might not be able to make it. Luckily the snow held long enough, but it did take us an extra 2 hours to arrive.

We queued up on the grid line ready to start our lap and my middle child got comfy and ready to enjoy the lights. We tuned the radio into the lap of lights festive channel to get us into the festive spirit. The safety car complete with fairy lights was ready to lead us round the track and we were ready to go.

The kids began looking for Father Christmas in each of the different zones. They were treated to an extravaganza of lights and light shows. Each zone in the track had a different theme to it and in each area there was a Father Christmas hiding. There was lots of laughter and squeals of delight from the kids as we drove around the track

After our lap of lights we headed to the lodge to explore more of the indoor activities and to have some dinner.

We had a hot chocolate and something to eat before heading to the pit lane for ice skating.

The girls grew in confidence the longer we stayed on the ice, little man enjoyed using the penguin support. It was such great fun skating through the garages and round the pit lane, we even spotted a car or two!

After ice skating we headed back into the lodge. The kids were too young to have a go at axe throwing but old enough to try curling.

After several hours at Silverstone it was time to brave the snow and head back home. We had had an amazing evening, the kids all tired from the various activities and I was buzzing from the experience of driving at Silverstone.
