UK Vanlife Festivals 2026: The Full Calendar (Updated)
Dust off the camping chairs and get those self-builds out of the driveway—the UK van life festival season for 2026 is shaping up to be a massive one. Whether your rig is fully finished or you're still staring at exposed plywood and half-done insulation, these meetups are the best excuse to down tools, grab a cold one, and get out on the road. Below is the ultimate calendar of campervan and van life events happening across the UK this year.
I'll be updating this list as new dates drop, so bookmark this page to plan your weekend escapes and catch up with the community.
