VanLife Fest – one of the UK’s best-known celebrations of campervan culture – is set to return this summer, bringing together van owners, outdoor enthusiasts and families for a weekend dedicated to life on the road.
The festival will take place at Scampston Hall near Malton, North Yorkshire, from 19th to 21st June, offering everything from live music and vehicle displays to family activities, expert talks and a bustling trade village.
While campervans and motorhomes remain at the heart of the event, VanLife Fest has evolved into much more than a vehicle show. It has become a gathering point for the growing van life culture, attracting everyone from seasoned tourers to those considering their first campervan adventure.
Visitors can expect to browse a wide range of campervan accessories, outdoor equipment and lifestyle products, while a new Coffee Club area will host talks, demonstrations and stories from members of the community.
The event also shines a spotlight on the creativity behind modern campervan ownership. Owners will have the chance to showcase their vehicles in competitions including Best Daily Driver and Best Self-Build, highlighting the innovation and individuality that have become synonymous with the van life movement.
Families are well catered for too, with attractions including circus skills, climbing walls and archery, alongside live entertainment running throughout the weekend.
This gathering reflects the continued popularity of leisure vehicle travel across the UK. With more people embracing staycations, road trips and flexible outdoor adventures, campervan culture has experienced significant growth in recent years.
Festivals like VanLife Fest offer a chance to connect with like-minded travellers, discover new products and gain inspiration for future trips. They also provide an opportunity to experience the sense of community that has become one of the defining features of the van life scene.
Regardless of where you are in your journey with caravan culture, VanLife Fest promises a packed programme celebrating the freedom, creativity and adventure that continue to attract more people to life on the road.
