Oktober Fest

A Volkswagen Adventure Oktoberfest's a one off - completely unique in the UK - indeed, it's not a' show' at all in the expected sense! etc.

So say "auf wiedersehen" to the V-dub show season in style. Oktoberfest is all about you VW people and is held at a jewel of a campsite with an endless list of on and off site facilities. Oktoberfest: Here's what you'll get

2 great nights of entertainment including Saturday night Halloween Fancy Dress Party with a uniquely Oktoberfest slant on the traditional. A host of great on and off site facilities including an utterly amazing adventure playground, wonderful country and river walks - no bored kids

Don't fancy cooking at the campsite? - no bother! You can get some delicious food from the Old Sawmill Bar/Cafe. There's limited trade presence - so no huge trade arena. But at Oktoberfest that's not the main focus. It's all about getting out in to the wild and exploring this fantastic site. On Sunday there's a Show & Shine held on the green lawns of Holne House. It's all very informal with 10 awards for 10 lucky VW's. There's also a host of other random camping awards inc. Best Watercooled Van, Best Aircooled Van, Best Stickered Van, Best Speed Bump Detector, Best Themed Camping Area, best Club Pitch and back by popular request, the Horniest Horn etc.

❄️🍺 THE OktSNOWberfest Apres Eating Competition 🍺❄️
Can you handle it?

Five pairs. One mountain of food, plenty to wash it down with, and absolutely nowhere to hide. 🎿🧀🍺

We’re searching for 5 brave couples/pairs willing to leave the nursery slopes behind and take on the ultimate ski-themed eating & drinking challenge.

Think you’ve got what it takes?
You’ll need the appetite of a St Bernard, the stomach of a mountain goat and the determination of someone trying to make the last chairlift after a very long lunch.

Who’s ready to take it to the summit? 🍺🎿
Get your ski gear on, grab your partner and prepare to SEND IT.

The first pair to conquer the mountain will be crowned our OktSNOWberfest Champions 👑 winning some special silver wear and a pair of tickets to Oktoberfest 2027.

⚠️ Contestants must be 18+.
⚠️ Contestants must be wearing ski gear/fancy dress.
⚠️ Due to the ingredients involved, the challenge is not suitable for vegetarians, vegans or anyone with relevant food allergies or intolerances.
