This what will be taking place next year at Silverstone I presume, taken from a post sent to me as previous attendee at first Carfest North at Oulton Park which a great day out :-
.....................
Tomorrow is the grand finale of CarFest presented by bp pulse - your last chance to join us at Laverstoke Park Farm, and it's going to be very special.

Picture yourself cheering as the Michelin-Protyre Autocare Track roars into action, uncovering the secrets of EVs in The Tread Shed, or catching comedy brilliance from Rob Brydon, Ed Byrne, Seann Walsh, Ben Miller, and Tom Davis. Where else can you hear Olympic legend Sir Chris Hoy share his story, discover the wit of Reverend Richard Coles, and get inspired by entrepreneur Simon Squibb?

If wellbeing is your vibe, join Dr Rangan Chatterjee, Kirsty Gallagher, and Julia Bradbury for talks that feed the soul, while foodies can taste the world with Atul Kochhar, Michael Caines, Dipna Anand, Briony May Williams, and more in our Chef's Stage prepped & served by Cuisinart, The Big BBQ Cookout with Napoleon Grills, or at the intimate Kitchen Table and Cook's Companion stages. Don’t miss the cocktail shaking, spirit sipping, and wine tasting in our Tipple Tents, or a dose of mindful movement, yoga, and sound baths in The Studio.

Families are spoilt for choice too: little ones will love Pudsey’s Spot, Shake it Up Shakespeare, magical tales with Ben Miller, explosive science in The Curiosity Factory, creative fun in our Revive & Recycle workshops, and live music at The Wigwam Stage.

And when the sun sets? Get ready for an unforgettable evening with Noasis, Kimberly Wyatt’s Don’t Cha Disco, Lightning Seeds, Squeeze, and festival icons Madness closing the Main Stage in style. Meanwhile, Club CarFest keeps the party alive with Swiftogeddon's Taylor Swift Party, and MistaJam.

It's also your very last chance to get some of our Merch... with Laverstoke Park Farm on it!

It’s your final chance to experience it all. Tomorrow, only at CarFest presented by bp pulse. Don’t miss out!

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

Must agree it was a great 3 days at Silverstone Festival, | thoroughly enjoyed the craic with our group "chats" under the gazebo (well done to Mac for completing the tedious paperwork exercise). Had good look round on the Saturday and Sunday and even got to watch some racing for a change. Great bunch of owner/attendees which made it a memorable last Festival event in its present format, where is logic of changing for the event in the post above. Just hope the new Classic event doesn't clash with BMW Live at Oulton Parkin 2026.
So many thanks to Stacey and Mac for managing to organise such friendly and welcoming event for us all to enjoy.

Thank you all for such a brilliant weekend, it was lovely to put some names to faces and hear some stories!

The weather did us proud! It makes such a huge difference to the atmosphere there.

And don’t worry, I will bring my Z next time, and a camping chair!
