Silverstone Festival Artwork

All set for Silverstone

As the events calendar continues to roll at quite a pace, with plenty more coming up over the next few months, one of our favourite events of the year is Silverstone Festival. Held over the Bank holiday weekend, 23-25 August, JDC members will gather right in the heart of the Festival with a view of the circuit – we look forward to seeing you there.

Children under 16 years get free entry so its a great day out for all the family. Alongside stunning motoring displays and high octane motorsport, you can enjoy a food festival, chart topping music and a family fun fair. Book tickets here.

The next Jaguar Spares Day will take place at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, on 20th October 2024 so make sure it’s in your calendar. Along with Jaguar and Daimler specialist traders, the show invites JDC members who are looking to have a sort of their garages to take a small stand space so they can sell any items on to other enthusiasts.
