Car lovers and festivalgoers alike, rejoice — CarFest, presented by bp pulse, is returning for its 13th year, promising more excitement, music, and family fun than ever before.
Founded by radio presenter and car enthusiast Chris Evans in 2012, CarFest has grown to become one of the UK’s most cherished summer festivals. While it might have started as a celebration of all things automotive, its mission has always been about more than horsepower and rev counters. At its core, CarFest is a charity-driven event, with over £25 million raised over the years for UK children’s charities including BBC Children in Need, Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, and Teenage Cancer Trust to name a few.
But don’t be fooled by the name. CarFest is so much more than just cars. Sure, you’ll find dazzling supercars, vintage classics, and racing demos, but there’s just as much for those whose interests lie beyond the bonnet.
The festival has evolved into a family-focused extravaganza, complete with wellness zones, food markets, children’s activities, and immersive experiences set over 500 acres. From culinary delights to star studded stages, serene wellness areas and kids’ entertainment, it’s a weekend designed to appeal to every member of the family.
Whether you're there to admire the roar of an engine, sample street food curated by celebrity chefs, or simply enjoy a weekend in the countryside with friends and family, CarFest has something for everyone. And with all proceeds going to charitable causes, every ticket sold is a step towards making a real difference.
