My first time at CarFest this year and honestly, it blew me away! Created in 2012 by Chris Evans with the sole purpose of raising money for charity partners, over the past 13 years, CarFest has raised more than £27m for UK charities. How wonderful is that?!

It’s an incredible event run with heart and soul, benefiting amazing charities such as: BBC Children In Need, Young Epilepsy, Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, Rainbow Trust, Starlight Children’s Foundation and Teenage Cancer Trust. Along with money raised through on-site fundraising initiatives during the festival, 10% of every CarFest ticket and 100% of profits go to supporting a wide range of UK charities.

I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect from this festival but it turns out it’s about WAY more than cars. CarFest is actually made up of 7 different mini festivals offering a wealth of amazing stuff so it really is the festival that has something for everyone. I was facilitating laughter yoga in SpaFest and honestly I could have spent the whole weekend just there with all the gorgeous stuff on offer!

SpaFest is “A true haven of relaxation. From Yoga, to fitness tips and talks on financial health, this is a 360 wellness area to help you on your journey towards a healthy mind, healthy body and healthy spirit.”

If festivals are new to you this is a great one to dip your toe in as you’re guaranteed to find something you love there and it’s so well executed in terms of consumer experience and organisation. I’m definitely adding it to my festival calendar.
