Carfest FAQs

Carfest will take place 28 - 30 August.

The festival takes place at the historic Silverstone Circuit, located on the Northamptonshire-Buckinghamshire border.

Carfest is a family friendly event for all ages.

The Track Show may feature Formula 1 and other cars which are very loud. If you would like to watch these from close quarters, it is recommended bringing and using ear protection on children for their own comfort. Likewise, it is not recommended that young children get too close to the sound systems for the Main Stage.

It is also worth noting that the music on each evening will go on until 10pm or 11pm. The organisers rely on your judgement to determine whether your child will find this enjoyable or not.
