MG Fest '26 is heading to the legendary Brands Hatch Circuit on Sunday 16 August 2026, bringing together everything that makes the MG community so special. From adrenaline-fuelled racing and historic displays to rare cars, exclusive experiences and hundreds of fellow enthusiasts, this promises to be the biggest MG event of the year.
Whether you've owned an MG for decades, have just joined the family, or simply love great cars and great days out, MG Fest '26 is set to deliver an unforgettable experience that will leave you talking about it long after the chequered flag falls.
This year's festival marks an exciting new chapter as The MG Car Club brings the event to the iconic Brands Hatch – a venue steeped in motorsport history and celebrating its 100th anniversary. With two British motoring icons coming together for one incredible day, the atmosphere is guaranteed to be something truly special.
Expect a packed schedule of non-stop action from the moment the gates open. The circuit will come alive with thrilling wheel-to-wheel racing courtesy of the British Racing & Sports Car Club (BRSCC), including the ever-popular MG Cockshoot Cup. Hear the engines roar, watch the battles unfold, and experience the excitement from some of the best spectator viewpoints in UK motorsport.
Away from the circuit, MG Fest '26 is a celebration of over 100 years of MG history. Wander through stunning displays featuring everything from rare pre-war classics to beautifully restored sports cars and the latest MG models. Whether your favourite is a classic MGB or one of today's innovative electric vehicles, there's something here for every generation of MG fan.
One of the biggest highlights of the day will be the ambitious attempt to create a record-breaking mass MG parade lap. Imagine hundreds of MGs filling the famous Brands Hatch circuit in a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of the marque. Whether you're taking part or watching from the grandstands, it's set to be one of the most memorable moments in MG Fest history.
There'll also be plenty to enjoy off the track, with a bustling trade village offering specialist parts, accessories, automobilia, clothing and gifts. It's the perfect opportunity to pick up something unique while soaking up the incredible community atmosphere that makes MG events so special.
Tickets are available now, with discounted advance prices for MG Car Club members. Adults can book from £24 in advance (£27 on the gate), and children under 13 go free, making it an affordable day out for the whole family.
Events like this don't come around often. With world-class motorsport, iconic cars, exclusive displays, family entertainment and a chance to be part of MG history at Brands Hatch's centenary celebrations, MG Fest '26 is expected to be one of the standout automotive events of the summer.
