Welcome
One field, every van
Vanlife Festival is a major event taking place at the West Midlands Showground, Shrewsbury, and was one of the most talked about festivals of the last few years in the vanlife community, making it a complete sell-out.
We welcome all makes and models, from the smallest of micro campers to coaches, horseboxes, coach built, motorhomes, tents, adventure trucks, self-build campers, day vans, custom vans and of course everything else in between. We welcome everyone regardless of their budget or build.
Welcoming everyone in any vehicle to share adventures & be inspired. A festival that caters for everybody, with a friendly atmosphere and a vibe that everybody’s talking about!
