CarFest returns to Silverstone Circuit from Friday 27 to Sunday 29 August 2027. It is the festival's second year at the Northamptonshire circuit after moving from Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire for 2026.
CarFest is a lifestyle festival rather than a classic car event, mixing motoring displays with music and family entertainment. It earns a place on Carseto because it takes the late-August slot that historic motorsport fans associate with Silverstone.
Charity sits at the heart of the event. CarFest says half of the funds raised across 2025 and 2026 go to BBC Children in Need, with the rest shared among partners including Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, My Black Dog, Rainbow Trust Children's Charity, Starlight Children's Foundation, Teenage Cancer Trust and Young Epilepsy. The charity line-up for 2027 had not been confirmed at the time of writing.
The early bird ticket window has closed, and general sale opens in November 2026. Line-up and prices will follow.
