Welcome to South Coast Van Fest

Van Fest - the van weekend for everyone.

2022 sees the return of many events and festivals as life becomes “normal” again
We would like to invite you to the first South Coast VanFest on the edge of the New Forest and here is what you can expect – Enjoy

No messing, go Straight to TICKETS
Vanlife – a life style accessible for everyone
 
For our first event we have chosen to support The Dorset Children’s Foundation 
 
There is always a story behind every charitable cause and the stories from The DCF are incredible! 
Our involvement with The DCF goes way back. Patsy and Nicole had many conversations about an accessible festival for all and have worked very closely over the years on a variety of projects. 
Now it’s time to get out there and to make it possible – VanLife is a community for everyone. 
Remember how easily accessible it is for most of us but there are many children who cannot access the vanlife experience for various reasons. 
So with each ticket sold for our new SouthCoast VanFest you are directly supporting The DCF. 
Please have a look at their website and their fantastic work across Dorset. 
Whether you have a day van, part time or full time living in it – the memories, adventures and friends you make each time are priceless. 
 
We are looking to hold talks on how to convert your van to make it accessible for anyone with a disability.
