Silverstone Escapade is a restaurant and bar with a panoramic view of the Silverstone track. It is open to the public, but from the moment you enter the grounds, it feels like a VIP experience.

The Henley Distillery invited me along to their newly launched gin-making workshop, and I couldn't recommend it more. The experience starts off with a G&T, so I was already won over.
