FAMILIES AT SHEDFEST
BRING THE FAMILY TO SHEDFEST 2026!
ShedFest is family-friendly, and not just on paper. This year the family area is your base to slow things down between the action, keep the kids entertained, and ensure everyone has a great day.
You will find DadCars bringing the message that having kids does not mean giving up on cool cars, with talks and family-focused activities that help bring the next generation into the scene. You have also got the Parent Pit Stop by The Wild Tribe, a calm, cosy reset zone with proper feeding and nappy-changing facilities, plus hands-on activities like car-themed colouring and craft, and mini dens for little ones.
Add in bubble displays, treasure-hunt style activities and other drop-in fun, and you have got a proper family day out. Kids stay busy. Parents stay sane. Everyone gets to enjoy the cars.

FAMILY FUN
BACK for 2026, dadcars!
Ben from DadCars is on a mission to prove you don't have to swap your V8 for a crossover just because you have kids. At ShedFest, he brings that energy to the show with family-friendly talks and a dedicated space designed to help parents enjoy the day while championing the idea that kids belong in car culture too.
A place to pull in and reset
Days out can be full-on, so this is the place to pull in and reset. The Parent Pit Stop by The Wild Tribe is a cosy, calm corner with a proper feeding and nappy-changing setup, and a few thoughtful bits to keep little ones happy.
Kids can dive into mini cardboard “dens” with chalk and a car-themed colouring and craft station, while you take five minutes and plan your next lap of the show.
a proper family day out
ShedFest is a proper family day out, not just a car meet with kids dragged along. Alongside the cars you will find loads of easy, drop-in fun for little ones like bubble displays, treasure-hunt style activities, and colouring and crafts, so there is always something to keep them busy between exploring the show.

FAMILY FAQS
Is Shedfest suitable for families?
Yes! There’s a dedicated family area with activities designed for younger children, plus spaces where you can slow things down if you need a break.
What is there for kids to do?
Bubble displays, treasure-hunt style activities, and a car-themed colouring and craft station, plus other family-friendly activities throughout the day. For older children, there will be funfair rides, a gaming zone and of course plenty of cool cars to see!
Is there anywhere to feed a baby or change nappies?
Yes. The Parent Pit Stop includes a proper feeding and nappy-changing setup so you’re not doing it awkwardly on the go.
What if my child gets overwhelmed or needs a quieter space?
We have an SEN tent focused on children that parents and children can use. It’s there specifically to give families a quieter option if the day gets a bit much.
Can I bring a pram or pushchair?
Yes. Just bear in mind it’s an outdoor event environment, so a sturdy pushchair is a better bet than something with tiny wheels.
