Carfest North & Carfest South 2015 - 2019
Attracting over 50,000 attendees per location, Carfest North & South is one of the UK’s largest and most beloved family festivals. O.C.D has been a trusted partner since 2014, supporting the event’s growth through expert design, planning, and operational management. From site layouts and traffic systems to trader logistics and campsite operations, we work closely with the UK-based team to ensure flawless execution. With a motorsport track, music stages, and family zones, Carfest continues to thrive — raising millions for charity and entering its 13th year stronger than ever.
The Project
Conceived by Brand Events, Carfest North and South draw crowds of over 50,000 attendees at each event, held consecutively during the U.K. summer. Positioned as the ultimate family day out, the event boasts a Motorsport racetrack, family entertainment fields, a music stage, and accommodation for over 15,000 campers. Given the event's expansive scale, O.C.D is engaged to collaborate with the event operations team during the pre-event planning phase. Our focus encompasses site and feature design, the establishment of trader management processes, campsite management, and the development of traffic management systems.
The Service
O.C.D supplied personnel to collaborate with the client in their UK office, formulating governance strategies to guarantee the secure and efficient execution of the festival's content elements. This diverse role encompasses content design and delivery, the implementation of traffic management systems, account management, site supervision, and supervision of the load-in and load-out processes for all traders, sponsors, and international car brands.
The Result
In 2024, Carfest North & South will celebrate its 13th year, having graciously hosted over one million visitors throughout its history. The ongoing expansion of the event not only enhances its stature but also enables the raising of funds for its selected charities. Building on a longstanding partnership since 2014, O.C.D is poised to be contracted once again, delivering design, pre-production, and site management services for both 2020 and 2021.
