The CarFest North event introduces us to young professionals and families with strong spending power, many exhibitors report exceptional trading days at these events. Superb publicity from Chris Evans and the strong link with children’s charities provides a happy, feel-good factor across the event, the visitors purchase their tickets in advance so their spending money is not depleted as they arrive, this further enhances the excellent spend.

2019 saw a very wet and muddy event at Bolesworth, although good sales were reported by many, the conditions were very difficult and some exhibitors received lower sales than expected at this usually excellent event.

The CarFest team are keen to return to a successful three days of dry weather and excellent sales.

The 2019 price has been held to enable exhibitors to enhance their profit margins in 2020.

This is a relatively small pavilion so please book early if you are keen to attend; many exhibitors reported record sales so space will be booked quickly.
