The Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Idea: Tickets to CarFest 2025!

Looking for the perfect Father’s Day gift idea for the dad who has everything? Forget socks, mugs, and beard trimmers, give him something unforgettable this year: an experience he’ll never forget at CarFest 2025.

Whether he's a petrolhead, a music lover, a foodie, or just in need of a relaxing weekend away, CarFest is the ultimate Father’s Day experience gift that brings together everything he loves in one incredible weekend.

Fuel His Passion for Cars
If Dad’s a motoring fanatic, he’ll love the action at the Michelin-Protyre Autocare Track, where high-performance vehicles like the 261mph Bugatti Chiron, Ferrari’s latest Purosangue SUV, and a custom ’62 Ford Restomod will leave him in awe. At the The Michelin-Protyre Autocare Paddock, he’ll get up close with iconic classics and cutting-edge supercars. Plus, The Tread Shed will offer hands-on car maintenance workshops and expert tips on EVs, tyre safety and car care.

For an Extra Thrill: Book him a Dream Ride with Sporting Bears, where he can ride in a supercar while supporting children’s charities. It’s a Father’s Day moment he’ll talk about all year long.

Give the Gift of Music
For music-loving dads, CarFest 2025 is packed with live performances from huge headline acts like Travis, Madness, Squeeze, and Rita Ora. He can discover rising stars at the laid-back WigWam Stage, or dance into the night at Club CarFest, where DJs spin classic hits and festival anthems. Don’t forget the Record Fair, where he can hunt for vinyl treasures and music memorabilia.

For the Dad Who Loves a Laugh
If your dad’s the king of dad jokes or always up for a chuckle, he’ll love StarFest, our celebration of creativity, celebrity, and conversation. Catch hilarious behind-the-scenes insights from Lee Mack, Rob Brydon, Seann Walsh, and more as they take to the stage – not for full comedy sets, but for candid, entertaining chats that’ll have him laughing and nodding along. It’s the perfect chance for him to hear from his favourite stars, enjoy witty banter, and dive into the worlds of TV, comedy, and entertainment like never before.

Treat Him to a Feast of Flavour
For dads who love great food and drink, CarFest’s FoodFest is a paradise. Watch top chefs in action at The Big BBQ Cookout with Napoleon Grills, sip and savour at the Tipple Tents, and shop the best British produce at Britain’s Best Market. For something extra special, book him into the exclusive CarFest Supper Club—an hour of delicious dishes, drinks, and behind-the-scenes stories with some of the UK’s top chefs. Bookings go live soon so make sure you're signed up to our mailing list for to be the first to know!

Celebrate the Literary Dad
If your dad’s more of a bookworm, let him meet bestselling authors at The Author’s Stage and explore the Waterstones Festival Bookshop. He can get his books signed, discover exclusive editions, and attend inspiring talks and readings from some of the UK’s most popular writers.

For the Dad Who Deserves a Break
Help him unwind with a Premium Lounge pass, giving access to luxury loos, comfy seating, exclusive merch discounts, and more. Over in SpaFest, he can relax with massages, wellness walks, or expert-led sessions in The Studio. And don’t miss a magical moment at the Prestige Flowers Wishing Tree, where Dad can make a wish, dedicate a floral tribute, and enjoy the beauty of the cherry blossom garden with the whole family.
