DONINGTON HISTORIC FESTIVAL – UPDATE
In light of recent developments in the COVID-19 crisis, Motorsport UK (the governing body for motorsport in the UK) has today extended its suspension of all motorsport events until at least 30th June.
This means that, sadly, we have to postpone the Donington Historic Festival to an alternative date later in the year.
Existing Ticket Holders
The policy of MSV, who operate Donington Park, is as follows:
‘In the event a race meeting is postponed, all tickets will be valid for the rescheduled event. If you let us know that you can’t make the rescheduled date once it’s been announced, you will get a refund. If a race meeting is cancelled entirely and not rescheduled, you will automatically get a refund. We hope that this approach will provide total comfort and reassurance to our customers.’
The Donington Historic Festival website and social media channels will be kept up to date with the latest information and we would ask you to please bear with us as we look into the options.
Looks like it has now been postponed to 2021. Any one who had paid to attend heard any more yet?
Site says;
“2020 ticket holders will be entitled to use their tickets for the 2021 Festival or to request a full refund and MSV will be contacting ticket holders over the coming weeks when their offices reopen.“
It was cancelled a while ago. Not heard any more since receiving an email to that effect.
However, I’m not bothered as I don’t want a refund. I’m going to hang on to my tickets for use in 2021. The money has already been spent and it saves the hassle of waiting for the club code and rebooking.
