CarFest Saturday certainly lived up to festival expectations – complete with a healthy dose of typical British weather, which gave us a few extra challenges to contend with throughout the day!
We hope you managed to keep reasonably dry and, most importantly, keep smiling. We know days like today aren’t always easy, particularly when the weather adds another layer of complexity to an already incredibly busy event. Despite the rain, our visitors continued to embrace everything CarFest has to offer and had a fantastic day – and that is thanks in no small part to all of you.
A huge thank you for your energy, flexibility and determination in keeping the show on the road. Whether you were helping visitors, supporting behind the scenes, keeping things moving around the site or simply bringing that all-important CarFest spirit, your efforts really do make a difference.
Last night, our evening entertainment saw Jessie J bring CarFest Friday to a fantastic close, with a brilliant headline performance that had the crowd dancing and singing along to her biggest hits. Tonight, we get to do it all over again, as the legendary Sir Tom Jones takes to the stage to keep the CarFest party going well into the night.
Tomorrow we round off CarFest 2026 with what promises to be another huge day across all the Fests. We’re expecting around 30,000 visitors to join us for the final day, enjoying everything that makes this event so special.
Of course, behind all the cars, music, food, family fun and unforgettable moments is the reason we’re all here: raising much-needed funds for our chosen children’s and local charities. It’s an incredible collective effort, and something everyone involved in CarFest can be enormously proud to be part of.
So, one more big day to go. Thank you again for everything you’ve done so far – let’s give our visitors a fantastic final Sunday and bring CarFest 2026 to a brilliant close!
