CarFest, an annual music and motoring festival is moving to the Silverstone circuit for 2026.
The event, which usually takes place at Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire, was set up in the 2010s to showcase live music and motoring track shows.
From next August, the event moves to Silverstone, the Northamptonshire motor racing circuit that is home to Formula One's British Grand Prix and where scenes from Brad Pitt's F1 movie were filmed.
This year's line-up includes music from rock band The Boomtown Rats and Scottish outfit Travis and talks with a number of chefs, wellness experts and more.
Silverstone chief executive Stuart Pringle said: "Silverstone has evolved into a year-round destination for world-class events, and we are thrilled to be working with CarFest for next year's event.
"For more than a decade, CarFest has inspired a devoted community of fans, becoming a true highlight of the British festival calendar. As the ultimate summer celebration, blending music, motors, food, family fun, and unforgettable experiences, CarFest is a perfect fit for Silverstone."
CarFest has run annually since 2012, with the exception of 2020, when it was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic.
The 2026 CarFest at Silverstone will take place over the August Bank Holiday weekend, August 27-30, with tickets and further details to be announced soon.
CarFest 2025 is taking place between August 22 and August 24 at Laverstoke Park Farm.
