Planning Summer Sports Travel? Here’s How to Get to the UK’s Biggest Events
For international tour operators, corporate groups, and event planners, summer in the UK brings with it a packed calendar of unmissable sporting events. From Wimbledon to The Ashes, Royal Ascot to the British Grand Prix, the season offers countless opportunities to deliver exceptional experiences to sports fans and VIP guests alike. But with these high-profile events come the inevitable logistical challenges, especially when it comes to transport.
At INTX, we understand the unique pressures of sports travel and how critical it is to get your guests to the venue on time, in comfort, and ready to enjoy every moment. With careful planning and the right transport partner, you can turn the complexities of sports event logistics into a smooth and memorable journey.
The Sporting Summer Ahead
The UK’s summer sporting calendar attracts millions of visitors from around the world. Highlights for 2025 include:
Wimbledon (30 June – 13 July): Tennis fans descend on SW19 to witness the world’s top players compete on the iconic grass courts.
The Open Championship (13 – 20 July): Held at Royal Portrush this year, it’s one of golf’s most prestigious tournaments and a major international draw.
British Grand Prix (4 – 6 July): Silverstone welcomes tens of thousands for a high-octane Formula 1 weekend.
Royal Ascot (17 – 21 June): A highlight of the horse racing and social calendar, combining elite sport with tradition and glamour.
With high demand for accommodation, transport, and hospitality, early and strategic planning is essential for ensuring seamless experiences.
Navigating the Transport Challenge
High attendance and limited parking at venues like Silverstone, Ascot, or Wimbledon mean that relying on private vehicles can quickly lead to stress and delays. Public transport, while widely available, may not be suitable for VIPs, international travellers, or groups requiring tailored schedules.

Our experience coordinating transport for sporting events across the UK means we understand the pressure points and how to plan around them. Whether you’re moving groups from airports to hotels, or from hotels to hospitality suites at the venue, we handle every detail so you can focus on the experience.
