Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club supports Car Club Fest 2026

Car Club Fest 2026 unites thousands for a landmark celebration of car culture.

The UK’s thriving car club scene is gearing up for its biggest and most ambitious event of 2026 as Car Club Fest takes over the Three Counties Showground, Malvern, from 14–16 August 2026.

Following in the tyre tracks of the hugely successful Inter-Club Weekend in 2024, the event has accelerated into an expanded festival format — with even more space for clubs, more experiences, and an even stronger emphasis on what unites the UK’s car club community.

Powered by the theme “Stronger Together”, Car Club Fest 2026 will bring together thousands of enthusiasts to celebrate every passion within the hobby — from pre-war classics and post-war favourites to restomods and future classics.

Car Club Fest is more than a show — it’s a movement that highlights the essential role car clubs play in preserving and shaping historic vehicle culture. The festival blends large-scale club displays with immersive entertainment, including a live arena, grassroots motorsport that attendees can take part in or watch, live music, great food, traders, merch, and influencer and celebrity appearances.

“We believe this could be a game-changer for the UK club community,” says Mick Forey, Chairman of the TR Register Car Club, organisers of Car Club Fest. “It’s about unity, passion and giving clubs the spotlight they truly deserve. The response to Inter-Club Weekend proved the appetite — this is the next step, and the potential is exciting.”

All UK-based car clubs are invited to showcase their clubs, cars, and members at this festival to celebrate all that’s brilliant about car clubs and their members. The event aims to provide a venue for all the UK’s historic vehicle clubs to hold their national weekends together in a festival format.

The event is run on a not-for-profit basis. If a surplus is made, then it will be distributed back to the participating clubs as a commission based on tickets sold against the allocated discount codes.

Event Highlights:

  • ✅ Over 50 Car Clubs
  • 🏆 Pride of Ownership Awards & curated club showcases
  • 🎤 Live Arena with expert commentary & special guests
  • 🚴‍♂️ Extreme stunt cycling & arena spectacles
  • 🏁 Motorsport action — open to participants & spectators
  • 🎸 Live music, social zones & family-friendly activities
  • 🛍️ Traders, merch and automotive marketplace

Car Club Fest 2026 offers a powerful platform for the classic and enthusiast community to come together, collaborate and celebrate the wide-ranging stories and passions that make car culture so unique.

📍 14–16 August 2026 — Three Counties Showground, Malvern

  2. This was a cracking event at Malvern back in 2024, and I am delighted to see we, the JEC, will be in support again. Very much looking forward to seeing another good turnout of club members and their Jaguars.

Agreed values

We have a number of highly-qualified experts who can inspect your vehicle prior to purchase and provide you with a full written report. In addition to their complete understanding of the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of vehicle inspection, they have extensive experience with the Jaguar marque which perfectly equips them to identify the unique requirements of specific models and years, something that is particularly important for older cars.

The cost of an inspection begins at £100, with the final figure determined by the time needed and the distance the inspector is required to travel. We can guarantee that your inspection will be cheaper than an equivalent AA or RAC inspection.

This small upfront outlay could save you thousands in the long term.

To arrange an inspection simply call JEC Head Office on 0117 969 8186 and they will provide you with details of your nearest inspector.

Also from our club HQ in Bristol we can give you an official valuation for insurance purposes. Our valuations are accepted by all leading insurance brokers and Companies.

Simply call 0117 969 8186 for details

GETTING STARTED

Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club Insurance is designed specifically for members of the JEC. That’s why it covers JEC TrackSport events and offers cover for JEC Young Enthusiasts. Furthermore, the scheme recognises that members may have a combination of newer and more historic Jaguars and so the scheme caters for all, other individually or part of a multi-vehicle offering.

Club insurance doesn’t operate the way standard insurance does. While it does still take a vehicle’s mechanical characteristics into account, it also places a lot of emphasis on how the vehicle is used, cared for and maintained.

Club insurance also offers a host of benefits and products that you simply cannot get outside of membership of the JEC, such as member to member cover for example. This enables you to drive your friends Jaguars at regional meets, events and on tours with fully comprehensive cover and without the need to complete more paperwork or ring up and incur costs for adding named drivers.

This way, you’ll be comfortable knowing that you have a policy that fits your vehicle and your usage needs perfectly.
