NEW FOR 2026! Previously known as VW Campout, this beloved gathering has been reimagined as the sister event to Vans In The Valley. Set overlooking Holy Island in Northumberland, this unique campout offers three nights of relaxed camping and two evenings of live entertainment, all in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
All makes and models of vans are welcome!
What's on?
Enjoy live music on Friday and Saturday night under a stretch tent. Expect a bar, communal hub and stunning Northumberland views.
Who's welcome?
We invite all makes and models of vans. No matter your budget or build, we welcome everyone to join us for our first Vans By The Bay. Come join the fun.
