Retro CarFest at Bicester Heritage

Published: 31/03/2021

Following news of the new ‘Roadmap to Recovery’, Chris Evans’ has announced a new date for Retro CarFest and confirmed the release of more tickets for sale on 1st April. Retro CarFest is now all set to go ahead at Bicester Heritage from 13th – 15th August. 
 
The date move means that this all-new weekend Festival will fall safely within Step 4 of the government’s roadmap and will allow more people to come together with confidence and enjoy a fabulous weekend of nostalgia!
 
Across the weekend, the Main Stage will play host to a fabulous line-up of acts joining forces to help celebrate the creation of Retro CarFest with the likes of Gabrielle, Happy Mondays, Scouting for Girls and Ultimate Elton to name a few. Joining Chris Evans on the stage will also be some very special legends from the worlds of TV, radio, sports and of course music. 

As well as a great music line-up, the festival site is packed with entertainment and activities for the whole family, including four daily shows featuring a breath-taking collection of cars on the Bicester Heritage test circuit, a host of interactive stands, features, shopping and lots to eat and drink. 
 
Since CarFest was born, 10 years ago, its sole purpose has been to raise funds for UK Charities, and it has successfully raised over £16.5 million for partner charities over the years. This new festival will continue to #DoMoreGood to raise funds for UK Charities in 2021, with 20% of the face value of ticket prices and all profits going directly to its charity partners: BBC Children in Need, Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, Rainbow Trust, Starlight Children’s Foundation and Teenage Cancer Trust.
 
Retro CarFest will be carefully designed to ensure the whole site, including staff and visitors meet with the latest government guidelines around Covid-19.

Tickets go on sale at 8am on Thursday 1st April and are only available online here.
