The UK's largest family fundraising festival returns to Hampshire this summer.

CarFest presented by bp pulse is a unique fusion of seven distinctive yet iconic festivals, coming together for one extraordinary weekend, a must for families, car enthusiasts, foodies and wellbeing followers.

Expect a weekend packed with not just horsepower, but endless entertainment, including exciting challenges, insightful chats with the stars, celebrity masterclasses and interactive workshops in 2,500 acres of picturesque English countryside at Laverstoke Park Farm, near Overton, the home of 1979 Formula One World Champion, Jody Scheckter.

Since its inception in 2012, CarFest has been dedicated to supporting UK children’s charities, donating 10 per cent of ticket sales and all profits from the festival to its charity partners. Last year alone, CarFest raised an impressive £1.26 million.

In 2025, CarFest will be supporting BBC Children in Need, Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, Starlight Children’s Foundation, Teenage Cancer Trust, Young Epilepsy, and the nearby hospices Naomi House & Jacksplace.

The first wave of music acts to be announced includes rockers Travis, folk-rock musician Tom Walker, smooth blues from Seasick Steve, ska and pop legends Madness, legendary hit-makers Squeeze and the iconic Lightning Seeds. 

Virgin Radio presenter Chris Evans, the visionary behind CarFest, is ready to welcome everyone to a spectacular 23rd edition of the festival in August 2025 with a host of special guests still to be announced. 

Promising an even bigger celebration than before, CarFest 2025 is about far more than just cars, bringing back AdventureFest, FoodFest, KidsFest, RetroFest, SpaFest, StarFest, and of course, CarFest.
