I am looking to go next year with my wife and 3 year old and would like the event to be as stress free as possible in terms of nice accommodation, easy parking etc...

This will be my first time going so wondered if anyone can offer any advice?

A member has pm'd me which is very kind of them so will call them in the next few days.

Why not take the 3 year old? I have been looking st the hospitality options and they seem appealing.

I took my 2 year old for his first FoS this year. He loved it. I would advise getting your 3 year old some ear protection before you go as some of those cars and bikes can get LOUD !!!

Enjoy smile
Thanks, she loves the car shows she had been to so far. We do have ear defenders so that's a good shout. The benefit of the hospitality seems to be priority parking, good places to view the racing from, food etc all day long and a quiet area to retreat to if needed.

Anyone done hospitality? Is it worth it?

try and get your accomodation sorted as soon as possible.
Only two hours away so may do it in a day.

Thanks for the advice so far. Arriving early and leaving a bit later won't be a massive issue as she will be 2 months under 4 so closer to 4 really. It's the 360 one I am considering as she won't want a sit down meal... Lol...what's he best day to go? Is the parking all grass? I saw the issues this year caused by the rain.

Check for minimum age in hospitality, I think there may be restrictions
The one I am looking at allows children and they are free under 4 which is a bonus.

Thanks all. After doing more research and speaking to helpful folk I have decided it's best to use standard entry and avoid hospitality with a little ones
