  1. VW Festival - Harewood House, Leeds

    Just wondering if anyone's going along to this years event? Never been before, but judging by previous years pics on their web site, it looks like it'll be a good weekend (weather permitting). 15/16 August
    Hope to see some of you there, probably in the beer tent, camping Sat night/show Sunday - look out for the Westie.

    Trev.

    I'll be there on the Sunday. Me and my kid brother are hopefully convoying up. As long as we've got his mk.3 golf running properly that is.

    I've been before in 2007 with UKPASSATS and remember just a little bit of mud around but still a good show, hopefully the weather is better this year.

    Will keep a look out.

    2007 was my first show and I have to say it's come on leaps and bounds since, last year was massive compared to 07, this year's set to be even bigger with a bigger marquee, more trade stands etc....

    Nobody else? I'm surprised with the number of people on here, a fair chunk of which live in the NW aren't attending this?

    right chaps, as so many of you have replied to this thread....

    I'll be getting there for around 2/3pm tomorrow, setting up pitch as soon as possible and getting the beer going early. If you want to pop around and say hello, feel free, you'll see CYC's caddy van, my a4 and the brothers red toledo

    Well we made it there for the Sunday and had a good look round including taking my niece and nephew to see the penguins.

    Wind was pretty cold but at least the rain pretty much held off. I was expecting a few more trade stands and dealers there like in '07 but other than that was an excellent show and was thoroughly enjoyed.

    Only real gripe we had was the car parking as we went in they were sending everyone into the field on the left even though there was a big sign saying 'VW Festival Parking' and direction arrow sending you into the half empty car park at the end of the campsite.

    wind... cold? I didn't even notice the gentle breeze in between the sunny spells :P

    there were actually more traders there this year, but I think with them being closer together it looked as though there were less, optical illusion FTL.

    As for the car parking, I couldn't figure out what was going on, but they only started to use that second car park towards dinner? maybe it was something to do with keeping the grounds decent? (cars/people walking all over it for 4 hours?)

    Really enjoyed my first VW Festival - great atmosphere with hundreds of like-minded VW enthusiasts. Sat night was good, although I thought the main band wasn't up to much - prefered listening to the guys outside, playing from the van. Pity I didn't get to meet up with anyone from VWAF, perhaps next year we''ll get a VWAF flag up?
