Spectator stands sit up the hill beside the course, with toilets next to them on event days. Disabled spectators can ask the Clerk of the Course for a lift up to the stands. The paddock and the courtyard at the foot of the hill, where the restaurant and the water mill are, are the other gathering points, with trade stands along the main walkway up the hill.

The track
Shelsley Walsh is a speed hill climb in Worcestershire, first used on 12 August 1905 by the Midland Automobile Club, and the oldest motorsport venue in the world still running events on its original course. The hill is 1,000 yards (about 914 m) with a 1 in 7 rise at its steepest. From a gentle rise off the start the course runs through Kennel, climbs steeply from Members to the Esses, through the Ess bends and then flat out to the finish. Besides hill climbs it hosts classic car tours, club events, breakfast clubs and a driving school.
