BUSFEST NEWS - APRIL
We hope that you have had an enjoyable Easter weekend!
The festival management team have been beavering away the past few months, planning for our festival, and keeping up to date with the recent national dilemmas.
You may have noticed that many of the postponed events from the spring and early summer calendar are trying to re-schedule for this coming September - the traditional time of the year for the 'one and only' festival -
BUSFEST!
With everything expected to be 'back to normal' way before then, and as “The biggest and best VW Camper Festival in the World”, it's anticipated that Busfest will be a very sought after destination after so many weeks of 'event drought' and uncertainties, so if you want to guarantee joining in the fun, make sure that you secure your place soon!
We can assure you that the Busfest Production Team thoroughly plans each year’s event, and always puts in place the necessary measures to protect the public and maximise safety, whatever the cause, and we always review our plans as any circumstances change. With this in mind (and with our 2020 Festival still 20 weeks away), we continue planning and preparing for our event, whilst at the same time closely monitoring all developments with the current situation as they arrive, and adapting if necessary.
This may necessitate us having to make a few changes to our existing plans here and there, we just don't know yet......but rest assured, you can rely on BUSFEST to be your 'Light at the end of the tunnel'.
We have another outstanding festival lined up for you again this year, so don't miss out on your chance to get hold of what will be very much sought after tickets!

This is in addition to our two other main catering villages situated on Main Street outside Severn Hall, and Trade Village opposite the Sheepshed Stage. With everything from Fish & Chips, Hand made Pizza, Sushi, Vegetarian, Curry, Burgers, Carvery, Burritos, Paninis, Doughnuts, Mexican, to name a few......

MARQUEE STAGE.(Our main adult stage)
