Oktoberfest is a real one off… A completely unique VW Event in the UK – indeed, it’s not a ‘show’ in the expected sense at all!
Say “auf wiedersehen” to the V-dub show season in style. Escape the humdrum of city life for the weekend and find yourself a real Volkswagen Adventure. Don’t forget to pack your wetsuits, wellies, mountain bikes and picnic baskets!
Held in October, this is the perfect way to see off the end of a busy VW season, catch up with old friends and family before going into hibernation for the winter.
Oktoberfest was born on a lovely campsite in Cheddar in 2008 where we spent four fabulous years before the move to The River Dart Country Park – and what a move it has been. The River Dart is like the gift that just keeps giving! This place is an absolute jewel of a campsite, packed with an endless amount of on and off site facilities, outdoor activities and attractions…including an utterly amazing adventure playground, wonderful country and river walks, zip wires, high ropes, bmx pump track and so much more…the kids definitely won’t go home bored!
