Big news, CarFesters, the UK’s biggest family fundraising festival is hitting the road and moving to a brand-new home: the legendary Silverstone Circuit! From August Bank Holiday 2026, CarFest will take over the world-famous track, bringing you the same magic of cars, music, family fun and fundraising… but on an even bigger stage.

After more than a decade at Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire, where thousands of families have made unforgettable summer memories, the time has come for CarFest to grow. Silverstone - the home of British motorsport and one of the UK’s premier entertainment destinations - offers everything we need for the next chapter: more space, better facilities, improved travel links, and a central location that makes it easier than ever for fans from across the country to join the fun.

And don’t worry, while the setting may be new, the heart of CarFest isn’t changing. You can still dive into everything you love: StarFest’s star-studded talks and comedy, FoodFest’s sizzling flavours, SpaFest’s ultimate feel-good vibes, KidsFest’s endless adventures, RetroFest’s nostalgic throwbacks and, of course, the roaring motors at Cars at CarFest. Plus, with Silverstone as our new playground, we’ve got the space to dream even bigger, from exciting new family attractions like Kart Silverstone to supersized stages for music and motors. And the best bit? With your support, this move means we can raise even more money for the brilliant children’s charities at the very heart of CarFest.

CarFest founder Chris Evans says: “This move opens up possibilities we’ve never had before – more space, more cars, more ways to surprise and delight our audience, and most importantly, more opportunities to raise money for children’s charities. The heart of CarFest will always stay the same.”

Silverstone’s CEO Stuart Pringle adds: “CarFest is the ultimate summer celebration and a perfect fit for Silverstone. Together we can deliver an even bigger and better event while raising vital funds for charity.”

But before we head to Silverstone, there’s one more epic weekend to enjoy at Laverstoke Park Farm in August 2025. Join us as we say a fond farewell to our Hampshire home with the biggest celebration yet!
