The festival's commitment to creating a family-friendly atmosphere where all can enjoy the best of the past makes it an ideal gathering spot for Funsters.

If you'd like to rally with us then fill this form and we've give you a booking link.

This is a superb event with so much to see and do every day. Motorhome Fun has a prime rally area inside the showground. Much of the profits from this show go to charity, with almost half a million £££ donated to date. This year the festival is donating to Guide Dogs for the Blind.

The weekend costs £200 + the Paypal fee, so £212 for the four night stay. There is no Electricity on our rally field and a strict no generator rule.

The stage acts are appearing on the website now. So take a look at who you'll be listening too

Rally Marshals for this event are Lee Fryer and Silver-Fox

Hi, I completed the form today and just did a send/receive. I swore I saw something pop up from RJM Events but didn't turn up in my inbox. Just want check this wouldn't be from the organisers here. We're keen to book. Cheers

When you go back to the site after paying there is a payment reference number you won't hear anything else until they email the tickets a couple of weeks before the event.

Just had the organiser on the phone hoping to get a few more Funsters onto our rally field, Shout out if you want to attend this event and watch Lenny dance the night away.

It really is a cracking weekend of entertainment.

Paid for our entries on 20th February and received an email from Eventree on the 27th with two individual and one vehicle passes attached. I presume I won’t be receiving any further tickets?

How late can we make a decision, we're 50/50 on something that may occur (medical appt) that long weekend, but will come if it's still open for booking in 2 ish weeks time I suspect.

Oh I have a quick question the rules seem draconian on no alchol to be brought in, does that include the (small) amount we keep in the van lockers? Would seem a shame (and do they really search, as it would be the first festival we've been to this year (including the CAMC one) that done so if that really is case. We always buy at stages anyhow, this is more about the stuff we keep for drinking at the van.

From the email I received with my passes/tickets:

“The alcohol restriction is around the exhibitions and the entertainment - there is no restriction on people using their own alcohol in our club camping area. The event bars are not expensive.”

 

[Lenny HB]

I haven’t received anything

That's normal they email the tickets about two weeks before the event.

I note on the Restrofestival site that max van length is 8m. Maybe a daft question, but does the Funster's area allow vans longer than 8m?

We were considering attending, but at 8.7m it appears we are too long

They don't search vans.

They don't search vans.

Cool, adding to list to book in 2 weeks once our medical appts are known. (One involves me not being able to drive for 24 horus after which is why we can't commit until known, given I am the van driver).

The CAMC one was pretty unique with the fact they didn't care if the bars were used at all going off topic a bit, even at main stage. One chap had fashioned optics to back of a trolley so his chairs and drink could be carried down the hill easily.

I've requested the booking link via the form as we should get the (new) medical appt in next 2 days (the one we had did clash, but they have agreed to rebook onto a non-clashing day on phone, awaiting the letter from the docs).
