CarFest
CarFest takes over Silverstone’s August bank holiday slot for the first time in 2026.
About the event
The Chris Evans founded charity festival moves to Silverstone for 2026, filling the August bank holiday weekend the Silverstone Festival used to hold. Cars, live music and family entertainment across three days.
It runs over 3 days, so there is no need to cram it into one. Tickets are on the organiser’s own site and the link above goes straight there.
