November 2022 - Motoring enthusiasts gear up for cinch presents CarFest, as tickets for the UK’s largest family fundraising festival are now on sale! Returning to Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire next summer, festival-goers can look forward to a weekend packed full of fun from the 25th - 27th of August 2023. 

The brainchild of radio presenter Chris Evans, CarFest will be entering its 12th year next August, bigger and better than ever. For 2023, CarFest is revving up for one huge party, with enough activities and attractions to keep the whole family entertained - from live music, adventure and comedy to classic cars, famous faces and cookery demonstrations.  

Following the momentous success of last year, CarFest 2023 will again host a whopping seven magical festivals in one: StarFest, FoodFest, SpaFest, RetroFest, KidsFest, AdventureFest, and of course, CarFest! Whether visitors love exploring the great outdoors, watching cars performing jaw-dropping stunts, or just want to hear from some of their favourite celebrities and wellness gurus, CarFest will have something for everyone. At every corner, there will be an endless supply of fun, including the chance to get up close and personal with the thrilling collection of cars at CarFest, the family-favourite Pudsey’s Spot at KidsFest or daring to try something new like climbing to great heights or holding a bird-eating spider at AdventureFest. 

There’ll be talented music acts taking to the main stage, too - some of the big stars confirmed for 2023 include The Feeling, Village People, BoyzLife, Rick Parfitt Jnr, Texas, The Bootleg Beatles and The Dolly Parton Experience as well as superstar speakers including Russell Brand, Jimmy Carr, Ben Miller and Rob Brydon - with more favourites to be announced in the coming months. And, of course, it wouldn’t be CarFest if there weren’t a few surprises and special guest appearances in store for CarFesters to enjoy! 

Created in 2012, CarFest’s sole purpose has been to raise funds for UK children’s charities. Since its conception, the festival has raised millions for its partner charities. In 2023, CarFest will raise funds for BBC Children in Need, Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, My Black Dog, Rainbow Trust, Starlight Children’s Foundation, Teenage Cancer Trust, Young Epilepsy and local Hampshire based charity Naomi House & Jack’s Place.
