Autofest UK is heading to Shepton Mallet for its 10th anniversary Big Weekender from Friday, 3 July to Sunday, 5 July 2026. The car show and festival will take place at the Bath & West Showground, BA4 6QN, with doors listed as opening from 8.30am to 5pm.

Organisers say the 2026 event will be the biggest Autofest UK yet, with the show taking over the Bath & West Showground for a milestone celebration.

The weekend is set to include two large indoor display halls, with space for more than 50 show cars, alongside supercar, hypercar and modified car displays. The line-up also includes an indoor traders' village, Show & Shine displays, club stands, VIP lawn displays and vehicle safety displays.

Drifting will be a major part of the weekend, with professional demonstrations, passenger rides, RC drifting and drift simulators listed among the attractions. Organisers say the event will include big-name drifters and motorsport figures, with amateur drifting also part of the programme.

The Big Weekender will also include a full-size funfair, children's inflatable attractions, weekend camping and family camping zones. Food stalls, a live bar and an on-site restaurant are also planned for those staying for the full festival-style event.

Autofest UK says its Show & Shine area will focus on cars that "turn heads and tell a story", with classics, rare builds, modern performance cars and modified vehicles expected to feature. Entries will be subject to approval, with spaces limited.

Tickets and further information are available through the Bath & West Showground event page.
