Who are these festivals for? The Vanlife Community in 2024.
Our community has grown wider since the "great unpleasantness" of 2020. "Vanlifer" is an inclusive term we use to cover everyone from full-time van dwellers, motorhome owners, retirees on a European tour and VW enthusiasts of both the air-cooled and water-cooled variety. Whether you own a day van, live in a van, enjoy festival camping, or are just a van enthusiast, we are sure you'd be welcome at any of these events across the UK.
