NEW VENUE! Did it work? 🏎️ 🏁

Welcome back to The Hills Explore! 🚐✨ This week we’re off to VanLove Festival 2026 — and this one feels a little bit special for us. We’ve been attending VanLove since the very first event back in 2022, so this year’s festival marks a big change as it moves from Elvington Airfield to its brand-new home at Thruxton Race Circuit. Join us as we arrive at this year’s event, get parked up, explore the new venue, take a look around the trader village, food court and overlander area, and soak up the atmosphere of one of our favourite weekends on the vanlife calendar. There’s live music, dancing, festival food, a few cheeky purchases and of course… the Velvetiser makes an appearance too ☕😂 We also share our thoughts on the new Thruxton venue, enjoy a cracking Friday night raving with Dave Pearce, and spend the weekend catching up with friends and making the most of the sunshine. If you’ve ever wondered what VanLove Festival is like, or whether it’s worth adding to your plans for next year, come along with us and see what we thought of the 2026 event. Thanks so much for watching — and if you enjoy the video, don’t forget to like, comment and subscribe for more motorhome adventures, motorhome weekends and life on the road with us here at The Hills Explore 😊 #VanLoveFestival #VanLifeUK #MotorhomeLife #TheHillsExplore #VanLove2026 #MotorhomeFestival #SwiftKonTiki #VanlifeFestival #concorde
