You would be joining the circuit at an exciting time of development, planning permission has been granted that will expand and modernise not only the physical facilities of the site, but also the range of events that can held.
Construction has been completed on our shiny new access road, which has completely overhauled how spectators enter the circuit, now this project is complete it has triggered a ‘daisy-chain’ of development according to our planning permission with the final step being a fancy new pavilion that will house garages, office space, function room, bar, catering and more.
In addition to the physical improvements on the site, we are excited to be permitted a number of extra non-motorsport activity days at the circuit. Previously, we were only permitted to use the circuit a total of 52 days per year for any activity on-track, from rallycross to cycling. However, with the completion of the access road additional non-motorsport activity days have been 'unlocked' which will greatly increase the quantity and type of events that we welcome through the Lydden Hill gates to now include additional driving experience days, driver training days, filming, private tests, sporting events, boot fairs and anything in-between.
