CarFest presented by bp

📜 History

CarFest was founded in 2012 by broadcaster Chris Evans as a unique combination of music festival, classic car show, and family entertainment, with all profits going to BBC Children in Need. The festival has two editions—CarFest North at Bolesworth Estate in Cheshire and CarFest South at Laverstoke Park in Hampshire (now at Silverstone Circuit). Each event features major musical acts, hundreds of classic cars, celebrity chef demonstrations, and extensive children's activities. CarFest has raised over £20 million for charity while providing a unique festival experience that appeals to music fans, car enthusiasts, and families alike.
