After booking Sunday last year, I was almost relieved it was cancelled (the only time it’s ever been cancelled I believe!).
Saturday ![wink](/inc/images/wink.gif)
I don't know if this is still a thing but some (not all) of the manufacturers used to offer hospitality which you accessed basically by flashing your car key. So it could be worth taking all of your car keys with you as you never know who has the best coffee...
I've not been since 2019 so it might not be a thing now, but I'm taking all of my keys just in case...![wink](/inc/images/wink.gif)

A minor point, but hopefully helpful to know:
Honda are giving away free sunglasses (adult & child sizes available) to anyone going to the stand and saying "sunny side up". Kids always love the swag and I can't possibly be the only person who has a habit of leaving their sunglasses in their car!

I see a helpful post on page 1 suggesting that approaching from the North offers closer car parking - can anyone advise if the East or West area is preferable please ?
I'm wondering that too. We will be staying the night before in Wokingham. I think it's about 90 minutes from there with no traffic, so any advice on what time to set off and which route/car park would be really appreciated.We're mainly interested in looking around the F1 and WEC paddocks before it gets too busy, after that we're happy to go with the flow and figure things out for next year

First timer here too, going on the Sunday.
Weather looks as though it'll be s
te which is a shame.
Is it all in grass or is it patched, no idea what to expect? Don't want it to be a s
te day because I'm not prepared for it with proper footwear.
Can't wait though, buzzing for this as have always wanted to go!

Lots of grass, including the car parks. Around the main area, there are temporary wide metal pathways laid for people to walk on. they do get wet and muddy though. Definitely pack some decent footwear.Weather looks as though it'll be s

Will be there Weds to Sun, and expect our stand to be heaving with people wanting to see OCTA

Land Rover stand? Always a great look around, can never get anywhere near the 4x4 experience mind you. Been meaning to do it every year for at least 10!! Will be there Weds to Sun, and expect our stand to be heaving with people wanting to see OCTA
Staying at Butlins as usual!
