The venue is set to host a dynamic variety of new and acoustic talent over the festival weekend. CarFest, now celebrating 15 years since its launch by Virgin Radio presenter Chris Evans, continues to expand its scope beyond its automotive roots. The festival promises a blend of thrills with its six thematic realms: FoodFest serving up a culinary adventure, KidsFest providing family fun, RetroFest for vintage lovers, SpaFest catering to wellness seekers, StarFest featuring a roster of celebrity guests and enlightening talks, and of course, the heart-thumping excitement of CarFest itself with its stunning car displays.



Much more than just an avenue for entertainment, CarFest has consistently upheld its primary goal of supporting UK children’s charities. From the first event in 2012, every penny of the festival’s profits has been donated to charity, with an incredible £1.26 million raised just last year.

The 2025 edition is set to continue this legacy, supporting significant charities like BBC Children in Need, Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, Starlight Children’s Foundation, Teenage Cancer Trust, Young Epilepsy, and Naomi House & Jacksplace, a local Hampshire hospice. Apart from the jams and engines, CarFest offers a weekend getaway filled with live music, engaging family entertainment, and unmatched support for notable causes. The fusion of high-energy performances, themed experiences, and the festival's enduring commitment to charitable endeavours make CarFest 2025 a highlight of the summer season, drawing crowds into its multi-layered carnival of activities.

Steph Willis’ upcoming performance is anticipated to be one of the major crowd-pullers at the festival, drawing masses with her vibrant stage presence and all-encompassing musical style. For those attending CarFest 2025, an array of experiences await. From the eclectic mix of music and entertainment to the festival's unwavering dedication to supporting children's charities, this year’s CarFest offers more than just a day out, but a memorable summer event.
