A festival weekend where historic vehicle owners — and their families — can enjoy far more than just the cars, and as Clubs we prove we are stronger together.
Taking place over three summer days at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern, this bold new event aims to be as much a family festival as a celebration of car culture. For historic vehicle owners, it offers something refreshingly different: a chance to enjoy your Jaguars within a wider enthusiast landscape, without losing the sense of club community that matters most. JDC won't be able to bring our van and gazebo to the event, but if you book using our Club Code the organisers will make sure we can all park together.
Built around the theme Stronger Together, Car Club Fest brings together more than 40 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.
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. It’s deliberately eclectic, ensuring there’s plenty to interest partners and family members who may not share your obsession with carburettors or chassis numbers.
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 — entertaining whether you’re watching closely or simply passing through.
More Than a Car Show
Crucially, Car Club Fest doesn’t stop when the engines cool. Live music, food and drink, daytime and evening entertainment, and optional on-site camping turn the show into a genuine festival experience. It’s designed so that families can dip in and out of activities, rather than feeling anchored to one spot all day.
That broader appeal makes it easy to justify as a shared weekend away — somewhere you can enjoy the cars, then step back and simply enjoy being there.
