Looks like Sandown again then, unless any one has any other suggestions.
Try Turweston, they're expecting to be quiet, no spectators at Silverstone, sod all media and nearly all teams local

Didn't have time to try it, the sign says open for takeaway and it's just a portacabin, but at least 2 decent pubs in the village a short walk. And I can recommend the radio, hangars, welcome and runways. Free landing with fuel. When the FBO is finished there'll be a VIP option.
Oh, and they have Buckingham Palace in one of the hangars.

On G-BLEW’s recommendation, I popped in to Wadswick (just south of Colerne) today. A 630 metre, well maintained strip with a neat set of hangars for the residents. The strip is next to the country shopping store and cafe. The landing fee, paid in the shop, is a donation to the air ambulance. The food was very good, and a bit above your average airport greasy spoon. I will be back.
