Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance provides critical care to people in life-threatening emergencies across the region. In 2024 alone, they responded to 2,544 incidents—a 40% increase from the previous year—with 8% of their callouts involving children. With no government funding, they rely entirely on the generosity of the public to keep their helicopter flying and their specialist teams saving lives.
At CarFest, they’ll be inviting visitors to experience the adrenaline and impact of their work first-hand. Climb into the cockpit with their thrilling helicopter flight simulator, take a ride in one of their mini critical care vehicles, or learn vital CPR skills in interactive, hands-on demonstrations. And if you’re after a moment to relax, their dedicated chill-out zone is the perfect place to unwind. It’s a fun, inspiring, and educational space for the whole family.
