I was delighted that HRH Prince Harry visited South Northamptonshire last week to officially start the construction programme for the Silverstone Experience, the British Grand Prix’s flagship £20m visitor attraction due to open in Spring 2019.

The Silverstone Experience is a new technology driven and interactive visitor attraction that is expected to attract over 500,000 visitors a year, and will be located inside a former Wellington bomber hanger located within the grounds of the track.

Prince Harry is the royal patron of the Silverstone Experience, and he met many of the students and teachers from Silverstone University Technical College who are closely involved before he officially launched the project by switching the Silverstone lights from red to green!

Good luck to all involved and I look forward to attending the official opening next year!
