Your Host
Briony May Williams
After years of baking at home and cultivating her creativity and skill, Briony first came to the public’s attention as she launched onto our screens during nine stressful weeks in the tent on the 2018 series of The Great British Bake Off on Channel 4.
Progressing through the competition to the semi-final, Briony’s humour and warmth, coupled with her resilience and ingenuity saw her become a firm favourite with the audience.

Geely Auto UK is excited to be at CarFest this summer for the first time. Having launched in October last year, the brand has already introduced two new models to the UK market - the electric Geely EX5 and the Starray EM-i Super Hybrid.

Visitors to CarFest will be able to drive both the Geely EX5, which starts from £31,990 OTR, and the Starray EM-i Super Hybrid, which starts from £29,990 OTR. Both models come with an industry leading eight-year warranty that covers both the car and the battery - bringing peace of mind for UK customers.
Having hit over 1,000 registrations in a month for the first time in March, the brand is growing rapidly thanks to its expanding retail footprint across the UK and by the end of 2026, Geely Auto aims to have over 100 dealerships serving its UK customers.
