cinch, the UK’s leading online car retailer, and CarFest, the UK’s largest family fundraising festival, are partnering to return to Bolesworth Estate in Cheshire and Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire this summer for two weekends of family fun, music and motoring must-sees.
As part of the partnership, cinch will be donating £50 from every car sold online in the week before each festival to help in CarFest’s mission to raise over £3 million for UK children’s charities this year.
Avril Palmer-Baunack, Executive Chair of Constellation Group said of the partnership: “This felt like a really natural partnership for cinch. We are all about cars, family & entertainment, and supporting the core activities and values that bring and keep a family unit together. CarFest matches our pillars perfectly and we can’t wait to meet the thousands of visitors and support Chris and his team in their endeavours to raise such vast amounts of money for charity.”
Formed by radio presenter Chris Evans, CarFest will be entering its 11th year with a revolutionary makeover: featuring ‘seven festivals in one’, with a large celebration party hosted each evening across the dates. The new festivals include:
CarFest: honouring hero drivers, hero brands and hero cars… past, present, and future
AdventureFest: a chance to explore and discover not just the great outdoors, but more about your own talents and skills
KidsFest: fun, fun and even more fun, for all kids, big and small
Great British Food Fest: the perfect place for foodies, where we celebrate everything great about British Food
RetroFest: a chance to step back in time and discover the world from the past
StarFest: a gathering of the greatest stars from the worlds of TV, film, music, literature and comedy
SpaFest: to help you on your journey towards a healthy mind, healthy body and healthy spirit
Tickets for the festival are now on sale here.
Anjna Raheja, Show Director of CarFest said: “This is a very exciting opportunity for CarFest and cinch to create some very memorable experiences for our visitors. It is, without doubt, the perfect marriage of principles and we’re looking forward to bringing that all to life this Summer.”
