THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

Plymouth Volksfest has been cancelled. Organisers made a statement saying, "Regrettably, after the continued deterioration of the health of one the key Event Coordinators it is not possible for the 2015 show to take place. It has been a difficult decision to make at this very late stage.

Face value of all tickets will be refunded through The Ticketsellers - www.theticketsellers.co.uk

Plymouth outlets are not able to make refunds on tickets - all refunds will be processed by The Ticketsellers.

If you wish to make any enquiries directly to the remaining organisers please contact via email - tickets@plymouthvolksfest.co.uk - whilst every email will be answered please be patient, as you can imagine there is a lot to get through.

I would like to thank you for your support and understanding during this difficult time, we're disappointment beyond words that we're not able to give you the weekend we had planned, it really hasn't been an easy decision to make.."

eFestivals wishes Vince a speedy recovery.

Children aged under 5 years can attend for free. All children under 18 must be accompanied by a ticket holding adult. Ticket prices do no include booking fees.

Non-VW owners

Whilst this festival is called Volksfest, it is not prohibitive in letting non-Volkswagon owners attend. Whilst many VW owners camp in special reserved camping beside the main arena, above the arena on the slopes of Newnham Park is open to all, with the added bonus of being able to camp next to your vehicle most of the time. BBQ's (off the ground) are permitted, but not open fires, there are proper festival food stalls in the main arena.

No Glass

No Glass is permitted on site, please remember this when packing. Please do not leave any kit behind when you leave the Park. There are specific designated recycling points on the hill, please use them, try to leave the site as you found it.

Kids stuff

There's a wealth of activities for kids to do - these are often not fully listed in the programme, and there is a chalk board at the entrance, and more information in the workshop tents, as well activities in the large kids' area.

Show'n'Shine

The festival offers VW owners a chance to show off their vehicles in various categories, and provide festival goers a chance to look at all the entries in the arena. This year the show and shine display is going to be held on the Sunday.

This year's fancy dress theme has not yet been announced.

Dogs

Dogs are welcome onsite under full supervision. They must be kept on leads at all times, even in camping areas, and must be cleaned up after.

More information will be here when available.
