One of the UK’s biggest celebrations of retro racing, the Donington Historic Festival, returns with three days of enthralling motorsport on 2-4 May. Tickets are on sale now at discounted advance prices and under-13s go FREE! Click here to book.

Hundreds of classic racers will deliver a superb on-track spectacle as one of the showpiece events in the UK’s historic motorsport calendar returns. Expanded to three full days for 2025, the festival will see historic racers from multiple Motor Racing Legends (MRL) categories pushed to their limits, with some boasting more than a century of competition history.

Donington Park’s rich heritage will be celebrated, from pre-war Grand Prix machines of the 1930s to nostalgic touring cars of decades past. The driver lineup is just as impressive, often featuring past and present BTCC and Le Mans stars.

A standout highlight will be the festival debut of the all-new GT3 Legends series, showcasing GT3 cars homologated between 2006 and 2012, up to 2015 specification.

Beyond the packed race schedule, fans can enjoy track displays, parades, an open-access paddock, pitlane walks, a bustling trade village, and hundreds of pristine classic cars on display. Apply to join the car display by clicking here.

Discounted tickets are available for just £29 for entry on Saturday or Sunday, with reductions for 13-15-year-olds and free entry for under-13s. For more information, click here.
