NEW for 2021 this additional CarFest charity event will be themed to celebrate the best of the 70's & 80's, with a touch of the 60's and 90's. The Club has the opportunity to present up to 15 cars (space has been limited due to demand) to represent the era.
The event will take place at the Bicester Heritage site in Oxfordshire : Bicester Heritage

Entry tickets are currently available on line, but as its for charity there is no discount for club members. There will be a discounted price for car club members wishing to camp. Details will be posted here as soon as they come thru. In the meantime email Events@ if you need more info.

Yes cancelled, received the following information yesterday. TBH probably not the year to be launching a new event in their calendar.

Following Monday’s announcement regarding Covid restrictions, we have been working hard on how best to deliver this Summer’s CarFests.
Along with several major festival organisers, we have taken the decision to proceed with CarFest North based on the government’s plan regarding July 19th.
We are therefore putting all of our resource and effort into ensuring that both CarFest North and South proceed as planned.
With the scale of resource and complexity required to keep our shows on the road, we have decided that undertaking our planned new launch, Retro CarFest, is a step too far.
We wish to entirely focus on protecting our two much loved and established festivals and we have regrettably taken the difficult decision to cancel Retro CarFest for this year.
We will be incorporating some of the best music and show features that were planned for Retro CarFest and adding them to CarFest North and South. There will be a dedicated Retro area at each festival with Cars, Music, fashion and fun from the 60’s 70’s 80’s and 90’s - so you will still have the opportunity to get into the Retro spirit with us!

We apologise for any disappointment, but feel that we must prioritise our established festivals and the £2.5m we plan to make for children’s charities this year.
