Three Counties Showground, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR13 6NW
What started as a small event called VANFEST in 1994 at The Three counties Showground, Malvern, the annual BUSFEST event has grown to become the world’s LARGEST INTERNATIONAL BUSFESTIVAL event for owners, lovers and enthusiasts of Volkswagen Transporter Van’s.
In BUSFEST 2024 we celebrated our 30th birthday of putting on events at the Malvern Three Counties Showground, those years being split across VANFEST & BUSFEST. Though BUSFEST & VANFEST are far from the only events we have been a part of, our passionate crew have been active members of the Volkswagen scene for decades and have worked with multiple shows to put on events for something they’re so enthusiastic about.

Why come to BUSFEST?
BUSFEST is the fun loving & family friendly event of the year for all VW lovers or just people who want to have a great weekend – so if you’re NOT into your rusty campers, your loud off-roading 4×4’s, or your super plush vintage classics – BUSFEST is a fantastic event for everybody. BUSFEST has so much to offer, from the extensive Trade Village, a massive fun fair, daytime entertainment ranging from kids activities to a full blown stunt show – not to mention the FIVE stages we have for all our evening entertainment!
If you are like us and you’re utterly obsessed with everything VW then this is absolutely the place to be – with displays showcasing some of the very best around, vehicle sales areas if you’re on the hunt for a new project, our autojumble if you’re missing a piece for said project, The Syncro Trial for those who like to put theirs to the test, or our Show & Shine competition for those who want to show off their hard work and the beauty that they’ve built.
Lets just say – there’s a reason we’re the world’s largest VW Transporter show and we hope you join us again (or for the first time) in September 2024 to celebrate our 30th year of putting on events.
All new Artisan Farmers Market
In 2024 for the first time ever we hosted the Great Malvern Artisan Farmers market where you can pick up some expertly crafted goodies made locally. We love to support small businesses and even more so to support small businesses and farmers local to us, so we hope you’ll sample their wares and continue to support them once you leave our show. If you’re local please check out their market in Great Malvern every third Saturday of the month.
See below for the list of traders we had for Busfest 2024.
