High-Speed Fun and Community Connection: F1 Thrills at Greenwich Millennium Village

| Events

Greenwich Millennium Village (GMV) was recently the vibrant venue for an unforgettable Formula 1 Experience, as residents and visitors alike gathered for a thrilling weekend of community fun. Hosted by Rendall and Rittner, in partnership with Sky, the event offered a blend of excitement and family-friendly entertainment, providing another fantastic opportunity to bring residents together.

The centrepiece of the event was undoubtedly the F1 simulator, where attendees were challenged to test their driving skills on a virtual Silverstone track. This simulator provided an immersive experience, allowing participants to feel the rush of F1 racing as they competed for the fastest lap time. The leaderboard added some fun competition, as families and friends vied for the top spot, turning the event into a community showdown.

Sky also showcased their award-winning Sky Glass, giving attendees the chance to explore this innovative technology firsthand. The Sky team was on hand to provide demonstrations, allowing participants to discover the features of Sky Glass and even challenge their friends to immersive games on Sky Live. For those who were feeling lucky, there was also the chance to win a Sky Glass.

With the summer holidays in full swing, the event was designed to be a perfect day out for families. In addition to the F1 simulator, there were various activities on offer to keep everyone entertained. Free popcorn and refreshments ensured that no one went hungry, while face painting added a splash of colour and creativity for the younger attendees. The atmosphere was lively, with laughter and smiles all around.

The success of the event was made possible by the strong support from the Estate Managers and Property Management team at GMV. Their dedication to bringing the residents together was evident throughout the weekend, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that everyone felt welcome and connected.

Partnering with Sky on this Community Engagement initiative has been a fantastic experience, reinforcing the sense of togetherness that makes GMV such a special place to live. Events like this not only provide entertainment but also strengthen the bonds between residents, creating lasting memories and fostering a dynamic neighbourhood.

Peter Willis, Managing Director of Vistry Eastern Counties comments: “Having the Formula 1 Experience at GMV was an incredible opportunity to bring our community together. It was heartwarming to see residents, both new and familiar, enjoying themselves and connecting with each other. Events like these truly highlight the vibrant community spirit we strive for at GMV. We’re grateful for the support from Sky and our dedicated Estate Managers, and we look forward to more memorable events like this one.”
