CarFest North has been combined with CarFest South to create CarFest United. Please see the message on the official website.

==========

C4R-Fest is the brainchild of Chris Evans and is an event that combines classic cars, live music and food whilst also raising money for BBC Children in Need. 

The Cheshire event of Carfest North returns to Bolesworth Castle, Tattenhall, Cheshire, happening from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th July 2020, and there's a sister event in the south at Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire in late August.

CarFest's includes two paddocks filled to the brim with a great range of cars plus track races and celebrity go-karting… be prepared for motorsport overload! - plus four exciting 'worlds' to discover and enjoy… including:
- Kids Kingdom: Where kids rule! Built for the kids (of all ages) and run by the kids.
- Eden: A place to do more good. Look after yourself, look after others, and look after our wonderful planet.
- Vintage Carfest: We take you and CarFest back in time with all the theatre of the circus and a love of nostalgia.
- Car-Feast: The Ultimate Family Food Festival, with celebrity chefs doing what they do best, but with a surprise twist!
