Loud and Crazy… or Slow and Laid-Back. Who says we can’t do both?
This three-day VW festival has all the bits we know and love.
Sure, there’s Doorslammer Drag Racing, Show & Shine, traders, live music, and a funfair to keep the adrenaline junkies happy. But there’s also a three-day VW festival vibe where you can put your feet up, enjoy a pint, wander the stalls, and camp under the stars. Santa Pod is just as happy at 150mph as it is at 15mph.








Want to check out our admission prices? We’ve kept them simple, fair, and packed with value.
