Brands Hatch will host MG Fest ’26 on Sunday 16 August this season, which will act as the MG Car Club’s official national event for the year. This is a completely new fixture for the Kent circuit, blending motorsport with a key social date for enthusiasts of one of Britain’s best loved marques.

On-track action will come from a race programme curated by the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC). A highlight among the on-track attractions will be the MG Cockshoot Cup, a long-standing and beloved MG Car Club race series which will feature a wide variety of machines bearing the classic ‘Morris Garages’ emblem.

Off the circuit, the venue will be filled with a vast array of MG cars of all ages. This will include extensive representation from the MG Car Club, passionate individual owners, and contingents from additional MG orientated groups.

Further entertainment will include the MGCC California Cup Autotest and Autosolo competition in a dedicated area, along with special MG motorsport demonstrations and displays. The event will also feature an attempt at setting the record for most MG cars on a circuit at once. 

MG Car Club Chairman, Lorraine Noble-Thompson, said: “In celebrating the MG Car Club’s partnership with Brands Hatch, we celebrate not just a venue, but a shared passion that transcends time. Here’s to a remarkable MG Fest ‘26, where history, excitement, and the love of motorsport come together in a spectacular celebration at one of the world’s most famous circuits.”

MSV Group Motorsport Event Manager, David Willey, said: “We’re thrilled to host MG Fest at Brands Hatch, which is another fabulous addition to the venue’s 'Century of Power' anniversary celebrations in 2026. MG machines have a long and successful history of racing at Brands Hatch, so it’s hugely appropriate that this celebration will take place at the legendary venue. We very much look forward to welcoming MG fans and owners this August.”

More information will be shared soon, including ticket and car display entry details.
