Dorset Volksfest

WAREHAM

10-12 July 2026

VW Festival, Dorset

Since the very first DVF back in 2013, we’ve been perfecting the art of the chilled weekend. You can expect awesome live music, a great choice of street food, a bar that won’t rinse your wallet, free things for kids to do, and of course, some seriously cool rides and beautiful people!

We might be bigger & better these days, but nothing much else has changed since we started. We’ve kept that ‘small festival’ feel and the family-friendly vibe, our team gets as many compliments as the stunning motors, and we’re still here doing what we love – putting on a proper good show!

Visiting many VW festivals around the country, this is my favourite and amazing. The location is amazing. The staff and crew are amazing, the events are amazing, and sometimes the weather is amazing. Get down there even if you don’t have a Vdub. You will love it!
