Places will be allotted on a first come, first served basis. You will need to download a pass in advance by clicking here. Please note that motorcycles are not permitted on Southbank
Blue badge holders should follow public signage for disabled parking, or alternatively please speak to a member of staff on arrival.
If you have been allotted a specific parking arrangement as part of a hospitality package, please follow signage which corresponds to your parking pass. This will be signposted as you approach the circuit.
Brands Shuttle Bus
A shuttle bus is available for this event. This will operate every 30 minutes between 8am and 8pm (Sunday only) between the circuit and Swanley train station, priced at £5 for a return ticket or £2.50 each way, purchasable online or on the day. Click here for more information.

If you have chosen to have tickets posted (not print-at-home) you will need to bring the originals to the circuit as copies and receipts are not accepted. All advance tickets have now been dispatched and were sent by either Recorded or Special Delivery, meaning a signature is required.
In the unlikely event yours haven't arrived in time, contact us urgently during midweek office hours on [email protected]
Print-at-home/e-tickets are emailed on the day of purchase. If you haven't received yours, you can access them by logging on to your MSV account. Your order confirmation email will not gain you admission to the venue - you must have your e-tickets printed or scanned from a mobile device.
Camping
Campsite ticket holders are welcome to camp between midday on Friday 4 October and noon on Monday 7 October. Full facilities will be available within these operating hours.
If you haven’t booked camping in advance, adult spaces are £38 per person on the gate. 13-15-year-olds are £23 and under-13s go free.
Please note you will need to be in possession of a valid weekend admission ticket/pass in order to gain access to the campsite.
