Get ready for the return of CarFest presented by bp pulse, the UK’s largest family fundraising festival! This unique fusion of seven distinctive yet iconic festivals, coming together for one extraordinary weekend, is a must for families, car enthusiasts, foodies and wellbeing followers alike.

Offering visitors so much more than just cars, you can expect a weekend packed with not just horsepower, but endless entertainment, guaranteeing something for every member of the family, young or old! Whether you want exciting challenges, insightful chats with the stars, celebrity masterclasses or interactive workshops, there’s plenty for you to do across the 2,500 acres of picturesque English countryside.

And what would CarFest be without a star-studded line-up? Leading the charge in the first wave of music acts to be announced is the rock-tastic Travis with folk-rock musician Tom Walker and the smooth blues of Seasick Steve. Then ska and pop legends Madness with the legendary hit-makers Squeeze and the iconic Lightning Seeds. Also joining them is CarFest’s biggest party starter and former racing driver Rick Parfitt Jnr. And this is just the beginning!

Also joining the music line-up at Club CarFest will be former Radio 1Xtra and Capital Dance presenter, Mistajam, Ellie Sax one of the UK's most sought after Ibiza saxophone players and D&B DJ Dakota. And if you prefer more live music then be sure to visit The Wigwam Stage where you’ll see the likes of Deco, a quintet that covers classic anthems with a synth-pop twist and tribute band Rhythm of the 90s amongst a hist of others.

Preparations for the 23rd edition of the festival in August 2025. Are well underway, promising an even bigger celebration than before! Stay tuned for more exciting announcements, including the return of some beloved CarFest favourites and a host of other special guests.
