An example of the required hours is set out below, which can be a mix of remote and onsite work but with August requiring full flexibility and full-time commitment onsite at Laverstoke Park Farm.

May – 10hrs

July – 35hrs

On the week of the event, the successful candidate will need to work straight through from Monday 18th to Monday 25th August 2025. This particular week will be manic, very long hours and pressured and therefore require a lot of energy, patience, and thinking on your feet!

For this reason, this is a great opportunity for anyone looking to gain invaluable experience within the exciting world of events!

Laverstoke Park Farm does not make any profit hosting CarFest or running the workshops; this is our donation to the charities. As such, our budget is small….
