Stronger Together
UK’s boldest new show brings clubs, owners and enthusiasts together for a family - friendly festival weekend like no other!
Classic cars and vintage vehicles to cutting-edge restomods and modern classics, everyone is welcome!
Celebrating clubs
Built around the theme Stronger Together, Car Club Fest brings together more than 50 car clubs from across the UK, covering everything from vintage classics and post-war favourites through to modern performance cars and restomods. The result is variety on a scale that rewards a full day’s exploring — or a whole weekend if you choose to make a break of it.
Click here to see the full list.
Three Zones, One Big Weekend
At the heart of the event is the Club Zone, where club displays are supported by a live-action arena hosting interviews, presentations and discussions. It’s a space designed not just for looking, but for listening and engaging — ideal for anyone who enjoys the stories behind the cars as much as the metal itself.
The Trade Zone broadens the appeal further. Alongside traditional autojumble stalls and specialist suppliers, visitors will find restorers, parts businesses and a wide mix of arts, crafts and fashion. Plus an opportunity to swap and sell your own parts via our Bring and Buy feature.
Action comes courtesy of the Motorsport Zone, where AutoSolo and AutoTest competitors will be battling for class honours throughout the weekend. For those who prefer finesse over outright speed, a CarKhana adds a more measured form of competition.
live music, bar and on-site camping
Enjoy live music during the day and into the evening, great food and drink, and optional on-site camping so you can stay right at the heart of the atmosphere.
Camping can be in a tent or campervan. If you are camping without electric hookup, you will be positioned just behind the Club Zone. Those wanting electric hookup will be located in the Blackmore Camping Site within the showground. Stay for the weekend, it's more fun!
LIVE ARENA & MOTOR SHOW
Experience high-energy stunt displays with our Extreme Bike Battle display, grassroots motorsport and a live arena with expert commentary and interviews across the weekend. Twice a day we will run a Moving Motor Show so you can see the cars in action. Our birds of prey displays will wow the kids as well, with majestic birds putting on an amazing, educational show

UK National Tiny Whoop Finals Set to Fly into Car Club Fest 2026 in partnership with the British Drone Racing Association (BDRA)
Car Club Fest is delighted to announce an exciting new attraction for 2026, as the UK National Tiny Whoop Finals in partnership with the British Drone Racing Association (BDRA) take place throughout the weekend in Severn Hall, bringing the fast-growing world of indoor FPV drone racing to the festival.
Visitors will be able to experience the speed, precision and excitement of the UK's best Tiny Whoop pilots as they compete on a specially designed indoor race circuit featuring illuminated LED gates, challenging technical sections and live racing action across both Saturday and Sunday.
Tiny Whoop racing is one of the fastest-growing disciplines in model aviation. Unlike the larger drones often seen in the media, Tiny Whoop aircraft are purpose-built for safe indoor flying. Weighing less than 12 grams and fitted with fully enclosed propellers, they are designed to operate in close proximity to spectators while delivering thrilling, high-speed racing.
Pilots fly using First Person View (FPV) technology, with an onboard camera transmitting a live video feed directly to specialist goggles worn by the pilot. The result is an immersive racing experience that feels as though you are sitting inside the aircraft itself.
Car Club Fest is proud to be hosting the championship in partnership with the Birmingham Tiny Whoop Club, one of the UK's leading FPV organisations, whose experienced team organises competitive Tiny Whoop events around the country. The National Finals are expected to attract between 25 and 40 of Britain's top pilots, along with their families, support crews and event officials, creating a unique crossover between two passionate enthusiast communities.
The dedicated race arena will occupy part of Severn Hall throughout the weekend, complete with professional race timing, pit area and spectator viewing, while leaving plenty of room for other attractions and activities within the hall.
Whether you're a motorsport fan, technology enthusiast or simply curious to discover something completely different, the Tiny Whoop National Finals promise fast-paced entertainment that's unlike anything you've seen before.
You can find the UK National Tiny Whoop Finals in partnership with the British Drone Racing Association (BDRA) in Severn Hall throughout Car Club Fest 2026. Be sure to stop by, watch the racing and discover just how much excitement can be packed into an aircraft weighing less than 12 grams!

Car Club Fest Announces Macmillan Cancer Support as Our Charity of the Year
We are delighted to announce that Macmillan Cancer Support has been chosen as the official Charity of the Year for Car Club Fest 2026.
Car Club Fest has always been about bringing people together through a shared passion for motoring. This year, we're proud to use that same spirit of community to support a cause that has touched the lives of so many of us within the classic and enthusiast car world.
Every day, Macmillan Cancer Support helps people living with cancer receive the physical, emotional, practical and financial support they need. From the moment someone is diagnosed, through treatment and beyond, Macmillan is there for people and their loved ones when they need it most.
Throughout the festival weekend, we'll be raising both funds and awareness through a variety of activities, with opportunities for visitors, exhibitors, car clubs and traders to get involved. Every donation, no matter how large or small, will help Macmillan continue its vital work supporting people affected by cancer across the UK.
We know that many members of our community have their own stories of cancer affecting family, friends or fellow enthusiasts. By coming together at Car Club Fest, we hope to make a meaningful contribution while celebrating everything that makes our hobby so special.
Thank you for helping us make Car Club Fest 2026 about more than just great cars. Together, we can help ensure that no one faces cancer alone.
If you're joining us at Car Club Fest this August, please support our fundraising wherever you can. Every pound raised will help Macmillan continue to provide vital support to people living with cancer and those closest to them.
DIRECTIONS TO THE SHOW
The three Counties Showground is located at Malvern, Worcestershire, WR13 6NW,
around 10 miles from the M5 and M50 motorways.
By Road
The Three Counties Showground is well signposted from the major routes surrounding Malvern. From the M5, leave at Junction 7 (Worcester South) and follow signs towards Malvern and then the brown tourist signs for the Three Counties Showground. From the south and west, the venue can also be reached conveniently from the M50, Junction 1, following signs towards Malvern and the Three Counties Showground.
For satellite navigation, use the postcode WR13 6NW. The Showground specifically advises visitors not to search simply for “Three Counties Showground” in their sat-nav, as this can direct you to the wrong entrance. As you approach the venue, follow the event-specific AA signs to the appropriate entrance and parking area.
Please note: the A449 at British Camp is currently closed, with diversions in place. Visitors approaching through the Malvern Hills should allow additional journey time and follow the signed diversion and AA event signage.
By Rail
The nearest railway station is Great Malvern, approximately 3 miles from the Three Counties Showground. Great Malvern is served by Great Western Railway and West Midlands Railway, with connections available from Worcester, Birmingham, Hereford and London.
From Great Malvern station, the Showground is approximately 10–15 minutes by taxi, depending on traffic.
The Showground operates a free station shuttle for some of its own major events, but this is event-specific rather than a permanent service, so visitors attending other events should not assume that it is running.
By Bus
Local bus services operate between Great Malvern, Malvern Wells and the surrounding area. The 675 service runs between Great Malvern and Ledbury via Colwall, although visitors should check the current timetable and the most convenient stop before travelling.
For most visitors arriving by public transport, the simplest option is therefore to travel by train to Great Malvern and complete the final part of the journey by taxi, unless a dedicated event shuttle or bus service has been advertised.
