Chris Evans gears up for Carfest North Fans of Chris Evans and cars who live in the north of England will get to see the man himself, and his amazing collection of Ferraris, after all: the Radio Two DJ announced this week that a second CarFest festival will take place at Cholmondeley Castle, in Cheshire, which is also the venue for the annual Pageant of Power. CarFest North will take place on September 8 and 9, and will feature modern and classic supercars with the bands Texas and Razorlight playing on Saturday and Sunday respectively. Tickets went on sale yesterday. The announcement follows a sustained Twitter campaign by fans of the Pageant of Power to have the northern version of the festival at Cholmondeley. Chris Evans said, "We checked out a number of amazing venues in the north but feel that Cholmondeley ticks all the right boxes. Not only is it a well-known venue for petrolheads but the setting is just beautiful and provides the ideal backdrop for the fantastic family-focussed weekend we are pulling together. Festival-goers living in the north who had already bought tickets for the original Carfest, which takes place at Jodie Scheckter's farm, Laverstoke Park, near Basingstoke on August 25 and 26, but who would now like to go to the Cholmondeley one instead, have the chance to swap their tickets. The official website, carfest.org, says people who bought tickets will have been emailed instructions on how to swap. Their original tickets will then go back on sale for the first event, which is currently sold out. Money raised from the two events has been pledged to Children in Need.
