Silverstone accom?

[Typhon]

I need to stay over for the Silverstone Classic this weekend, and every b&b I've phoned is booked up for the event. Does anyone know of anywhere, within walking distance (~ 30-60 mins) of the track that might not be fully booked up yet? Any help would be appreciated a lot

This place isn't within walking distance but only 5-6 miles away and certainly a good stopping place if it helps.

I am sure you have tried them all already, but try Green Man at Brackley Hatch, Saracens Head Towcester, there is a premier lodge type building at Towcester Services, Whittlebury Hall (expensive though)........

Have to say you will struggle to find walking distance, but Towcester is only a taxi ride away, about 4 miles...

None of these are within walking distance, but they're all less than 20 minutes drive. The one in Chackmore is probably the closest

Already tried those , and no luck

The reason it needs to be walking distance is I won't be coming with a car, which is limiting me quite a bit, especially as I have to be there for the whole event each day

Not having a car makes it really awkward to think of anywhere. Are you quite fit? It's quite a way to walk from anywhere. What about a bike?

Why do you have to be there for the whole event? Can't the people who want you there pick you up?

The people that want me there are in Canada - I photograph many large UK events for them, so that's why I really need to be for the whole of the Classic. And since Silverstone only accreddited me yesterday, I couldn't arrange any accomodation/travel before then. I've walked from Silverstone village before and that wasn't a problem, and I guess I wouldn't mind riding up from somewhere further away either

could you hire a car? they've got rooms at the travel lodge in northampton, but would be bit of a walk

[Matt172]

have you tried the Saracens in Towcester, just looked on their on line booking, and they have rooms available

The Saracen is a little above our budget, unfortunatley. I only really need a bed, shower and plug socket. Thanks for all of your help though everyone! Much appreciated, although this is probably an event I'll have to miss out
