One lucky family will win a Family Camping Ticket to CarFest 2026, giving you access to a full weekend at the festival and the Big Early – including KidsFest, FoodFest, live music, and loads of family-friendly activities. It’s a proper all-in, memory-making kind of prize.
CarFest 2026 takes place from 28–30 August 2026 – right at the tail end of the summer holidays, when everyone’s ready for one last big adventure before school starts again.
CarFest takes place at Silverstone Circuit, one of the UK’s most iconic event venues. Plenty of space, loads going on, and surprisingly well set up for families.
Yes, and this is where it really delivers. There’s a huge KidsFest area, hands-on activities & shows for younger ones, and enough going on to keep even hard-to-please teens entertained. Meanwhile, parents get great food, live music and a bit of breathing space. Everyone wins.
The 2026 line-up includes big names like Jessie J, Tom Jones, Rick Astley, Gabrielle, Sugababes, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and James Morrison, so there’s something for every generation (and yes, you’ll absolutely know more words than your kids).
A family camping ticket gives you access to the festival across the full weekend, plus the ability to stay on-site, which means no daily travel, no rushing, and a much more relaxed experience. Think: slower mornings, later nights, and everything in one place.
Not even close. CarFest is a full family festival experience – with food, live music, wellness, shopping, kids’ entertainment and loads of interactive activities. It’s one of the few events where you can genuinely keep everyone happy without splitting up all day.
Because it gets the balance right. Kids are entertained, adults aren’t bored, and there’s a proper feel-good atmosphere throughout. Plus, it raises money for UK children’s charities, so it’s fun with a bit of purpose.
