Where and When is CarFest?
Both Carfest North and Carfest South have been amalgamated into a single event and from CarFest 2026 onwards will be located at Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire. CarFest normally takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend each year.
What’s On?
Celebrities tripping over one another, some of the finest classic and modern day racing cars plus food and drink competitions…it really is the event to attend!
In addition to the amazing line-up of bands and singers, there are some brilliant individual festival zones including Starfest which gathers some of today’s greatest TV, film, music, literature and comedy stars plus a glimpse of the stars of the future.
Or head to KidsFest for a childhood experience like no other thanks to areas dedicated to celebrating everything that is great about being a kid. AdventureFest for those wanting to enjoy the the great outdoors or SpaFest to help you develop a healthy mind, body and spirit. FoodFest is the stop for foodiesthanks to celebrity chef demonstrations to workshops and food markets. Or for those wanting to step back in time and discover the world from the past, RetroFest is for you, featuring cars, music, fashion and toys from the good old days.
CarFest has everything you could ever hope for in a festival…oh, did we mention top bands and musicians galore too?! Just visit the CarFest website here but be quick as, unsurprisingly, it’s incredibly popular with tickets selling out extremely fast each year. Especially when a minimum of 25% of the price of each ticket sold going to BBC Children in Need and other charities.
