CarFest is a family-friendly festival, and we love seeing young fans enjoy it, with plenty of little ones experiencing their first live music from their parents' shoulders. To help make it a great day for everyone, here are a few things worth bearing in mind.

The Track Show may feature Formula 1 and other very loud cars. If you plan to watch from close by, we recommend ear protection for children. We'd also suggest keeping young children at a comfortable distance from the Main Stage speakers.

Music runs until 10pm or 11pm each evening, so it's worth considering whether a late finish will suit your little ones.

There's plenty to keep children entertained throughout the day, including KidsFest.

Please note thatour policy is one chair per person, and these chairs must be foldable. We do not allow gazebos, laysacs, windbreakers or tents. Structures like these block the view of the stage for other CarFesters, so please be considerate of others when setting up your area for the evening and don’t take up too much space!

Please also be considerate when you set up at the other stages during the day, our entertainment is for everyone to enjoy, and any set ups left at these stages will need to be removed to allow all our CarFesters to experience.
