We’re excited to announce that the theme for this year’s Vanlife & Overlander Celebration is the 80s and 90s! Get ready for a fun-filled, nostalgia-packed weekend bursting with retro vibes, great entertainment, and plenty of laughs. To really get into the rhythm of the weekend, we’re encouraging everyone to embrace the theme with some epic fancy dress—think neon, legwarmers, grunge, and all things throwback! Whether you’re channeling your inner rockstar or rocking classic 80s and 90s style, it’s going to be a weekend to remember. Let’s bring the fun, the flair, and the party!

After listening to your feedback over the past two years, we realized that the barn, while charming, was too hot for the time of year and the acoustics needed improvement. So, we’re excited to announce that we’re going back to basics with our very own Big Top Tent! This iconic addition will not only provide a cooler, more comfortable space but also deliver a fantastic atmosphere with improved sound for all the entertainment and activities. We can’t wait for you to experience the magic of the Big Top!

We’re thrilled to introduce our brand-new Self-Build Campervan Trade Area at Vanlife & Overlander Celebration!

Whether you’re just starting out or perfecting your build, you’ll find everything you need to take your van to the next level. It’s the perfect spot for inspiration, advice, and discovering must-have items for your dream campervan!

We understand the challenges of the cost of living these days, especially for families, which is why we’re committed to keeping Vanlife & Overlander Celebration affordable and fun for everyone. One of the ways we do this is by offering free activities for children throughout the event, including arts and crafts, swing ball, child-friendly axe throwing, games, balls, and so much more. Each year, we’re adding even more activities to ensure kids have a fantastic time without extra costs, making the event enjoyable, accessible, and stress-free for families.
