Oktober Fest A Volkswagen Adventure Oktoberfest's a one off - completely unique in the UK - indeed, it's not a' show' at all in the expected sense! etc.

So say "auf wiedersehen" to the V-dub show season in style. Oktoberfest is all about you VW people and is held at a jewel of a campsite with an endless list of on and off site facilities. Oktoberfest: Here's what you'll get

2 great nights of entertainment including Saturday night Halloween Fancy Dress Party with a uniquely Oktoberfest slant on the traditional. A host of great on and off site facilities including an utterly amazing adventure playground, wonderful country and river walks - no bored kids

Don't fancy cooking at the campsite? - no bother! You can get some delicious food from the Old Sawmill Bar/Cafe. There's limited trade presence - so no huge trade arena. But at Oktoberfest that's not the main focus. It's all about getting out in to the wild and exploring this fantastic site. On Sunday there's a Show & Shine held on the green lawns of Holne House. It's all very informal with 10 awards for 10 lucky VW's. There's also a host of other random camping awards inc. Best Watercooled Van, Best Aircooled Van, Best Stickered Van, Best Speed Bump Detector, Best Themed Camping Area, best Club Pitch and back by popular request, the Horniest Horn etc.

Wow; now where do we even start to begin?!

Thank you all for making Oktoberfest 2026 at the River Dart Country Park such an incredible, crazy, beautiful, fun filled weekend!

The atmosphere was electric, the sun shone from start to finish and your Oktoberfest and snow/ski-themed fancy dress was absolutely piste-perfect. From retro ski suits to alpine chic, you brought your finest slope style and enough après-ski energy to give the Alps a run for their money. So much laughter, dancing and fun at La Folie Dart.

We were completely blown away by your generosity and kindness. Thanks to the traders and lovely people who donated prizes for our Charity Raffle and Auction, and everyone who spent a few quid and took a punt - with your incredible help we raised over £2000 for charity. Amazing!...thank you all so much.

Photos and videos are coming soon, we can’t wait to relive the fun. There are definitely a few moments worth replaying… and possibly a few best left on the mountain! Feel free to share some photos in the comments below, we love to see them.

Oktoberfest 2027. 1st - 3rd October. River Dart Country Park.
Tickets available from November 1st.

And, of course, a massive thanks to all the brilliant River Dart Country Park staff and owners for helping us bring a little slice of the Alps to Devon.

Big love Oktoberfesties. Let’s do it all again next year.
