Wight Aircooled BIG Weekend

If you have one of Wolfsburg or Mexico's finest then Wight Aircooled's big weekender to the Isle of Wight is a must this July. It promises to be one of the most exciting VW events of the year with loads going on for the whole family, including music from bands and DJ's plus live entertainment from fire eaters, stilt walkers and jugglers!

Set in 46 acres of open countryside, its just a short walk from the banks of the picturesque River Medina which meanders its way from Newport to the sea at Cowes.

There are great prizes and trophies lined up in the 'Show N Shine' competition, which is sponsored by Justkamper's. To make things even crazier, there is a Super Hero's and Villains themed dress night on Saturday. There will also be an open-mic session giving you the opportunity to show off your skills! On top of all that there are some great traders planned for the market area and many types of food stalls including all-day breakfast, roast dinners and spit roasts. Children are not forgotten either with a giant bouncy castle slide, coconut shy, clowns and much more.

How much?

Ticket prices and booking details for 2012 will be announced shortly. 

There is a field set aside for family camping and club camping can be arranged - please contact Simon Laughton for details. Dogs are also allowed (on leads).

Getting there is an adventure but its fun and really easy; Red Funnel's vehicle ferries sail every hour from Southampton to East Cowes on the Isle of Wight. It takes just under 1 hour, there's a bar, outside barbecue and hot & cold food plus free WiFi. Once there, it's just a 10 minute drive to the Big Weekend site!
