The countdown is on for Campervan Campout Festival 2026, taking place May 1-3, 2026, at the South of England Showground in Ardingly, United Kingdom, where Spartan Campers has been announced as the headline sponsor for the fourth annual event.
According to an article by Out&About Live, the sponsorship was revealed in a video on the MotorhomeCampervan YouTube channel by Peter Vaughan and Motorhome Matt.
As part of the partnership, the main entertainment arena will now be known as The Spartan Campers Stage, which will host live bands, DJ sets, fitness sessions and additional programming to be revealed ahead of the festival.
Spartan Campers first appeared at the event in 2025, quickly gaining attention with an interactive display stand and a dedicated club camping area for customers.
The company has built a strong following over the past four years, known for premium build quality, innovative layouts and a strong sense of community among owners.
“It just exploded for us,” said Simon from Spartan Campers.
“We wanted to be able to give back to our community — our Spartan family — and Campervan Campout is the perfect place to do that,” Simon added.
The company’s reputation was further boosted in 2025 when it was named Campervan Converter of the Year in the Out & About Live Awards, recognition that highlighted its craftsmanship and customer loyalty.
Spartan Campers also confirmed that it will unveil two major new models at the 2026 event, including the Spartan T7, a larger and more versatile camper, and a new U-shape Volkswagen conversion featuring fully belted, crash-tested seats.
“We didn’t want to rush it,” Simon said. “We waited until everything was properly crash-tested so we could do it the Spartan way — the right way.”
Organizers say the 2026 event will feature live performances, workshops, wellness activities, vanlife demonstrations and family-friendly attractions, making it one of the most anticipated gatherings in the UK vanlife calendar.
Tickets go on sale 1 November with limited camping spaces available.
This story highlights how lifestyle-focused festivals and brand partnerships continue to boost interest in campervan travel, supporting the growth of the outdoor recreation and vehicle conversion industries across the UK and beyond.
