BUSFEST ENTERTAINMENT
We have SO much going on at this year's festival! For a start this is the 30th year that we have been putting on a show at the Three Counties Show-ground. 30 Years! Where's that gone? Rest assured, we'll be celebrating in style with lots of exciting things for you to see and do.
Then there's the daytime entertainments (apart from the music stages) with attractions like JunkFish, ArtiKidz, Jamuna, Kenny The Clown, Angie's Animal Antics, and Busfest Games, to name but a few, and loads of exhibitions, static displays, demonstrations and more.
Of course, don't forget our massive SHOW & SHINE competition in the Display Arena - it's being upgraded for this year, so keep an eye out for our announcements!
Add in the amazing Jennings Funfair, and our well sought after CHILL ZONE & MAN CAVE, offering all your pampering delights, and you can see why we are the biggest, and best, VW Camper Van Festival in the World!
