Vanlove Fest 2025: Everything You Need to Know About the UK’s Biggest Vanlife Festival

Vanlove Fest 2025 is coming, and it’s bigger, bolder, and packed with more adventure than ever before. Set against the epic backdrop of Elvington Airfield in York, this festival is the UK’s go-to event for anyone obsessed with campervans, motorhomes, and the freedom of life on the road.

Running from 18th to 20th July 2025, Vanlove Fest promises a weekend filled with adventure, live music, and like-minded travellers coming together to celebrate everything vanlife. Whether you're a seasoned vanlifer, a weekend warrior, or just van-curious, this is the festival you won’t want to miss.

A weekend of escape, adventure, and party

This year’s theme—Escape, Adventure, Party—is all about breaking free from routine, pushing boundaries, and, of course, having a blast while doing it. Expect a jam-packed schedule featuring:

• Live music and DJ sets—including international saxophone sensation Ellie Sax on Friday night and radio legend Chris Moyles headlining on Saturday.
• Workshops and expert talks—learn everything from van conversions to sustainable travel.
• The world’s largest campervan convoy—a must-see moment as hundreds of vans roll down the airfield together.

Whether you're into DIY van builds, overlanding, or just soaking up the festival vibes, there’s something for everyone.

The Adventure Zone: Pushing boundaries

New for 2025, the Adventure Zone is designed for those who love the thrill of exploration. Featuring:

• Overland vehicles and off-grid camper conversions.
• Hands-on experiences for those wanting to test their off-road skills.
• Outdoor challenges to push your limits.

If your idea of the perfect road trip includes dirt trails, mountain passes, and self-sufficient travel, this is your zone.

Vanlove Retreat: Relax, recharge, repeat

Not every moment of vanlife is about adventure—sometimes, it’s about finding peace. The new Vanlove Retreat offers a calm escape within the festival, with:

• Yoga and mindfulness sessions to help you unwind.
• Wellness workshops designed for travellers looking to stay balanced on the road.
• Sensory activities to help you switch off from the world and recharge.

It’s the perfect place to reset before heading back to the festival buzz.

What the founder has to say

Guy Robinson, founder of Vanlove Fest, sums it up perfectly:

"Vanlove was born out of a passion to unite the amazing people in the campervan community and celebrate the freedom and adventure these brilliant vehicles deliver. Our flagship festival in York creates memories and friendships that last a lifetime. Escape, Adventure, Party—these three pillars leave our wonderful fans wanting more, which is why we truly are the ultimate vanlife experience."
