CarFest 2025

CarFest presented by bp pulse is the UK’s largest family fundraising festival, created by radio presenter Chris Evans, for the sole purpose of raising funds for hugely deserving charities, including BBC Children in Need.
CarFest takes place from the 22nd to the 24th of August at Laverstoke Park Farm, Hampshire.
This year’s festival will host fast cars and amazing performances from artistes like Rita Ora, Travis, and Madness. Festivalgoers will also have the chance to watch celebrities such as Lee Mack, Ed Byrne, Ben Miller, and Rev Richard Coles, and enjoy plenty of fantastic food, drink and fun!
Children in Need returns to CarFest with Pudsey’s Spot, a big-top tent in KidsFest where children and their families can enjoy all kinds of brilliant interactive entertainment, from Horrible Histories to ShakeItUp’s Improvised Shakespeare Show, to animated favourites like Bluey and Bingo, Hey Duggee, Supertato, The Smeds and The Smoos, The Gruffalo, Zog, the Highway Rat …to special appearances from Pudsey himself!
