A CAMPERVAN festival has sold out for the fifth year in a row.

Dubbed Out Festival, held at the Royal Cheshire Showground near Knutsford, has announced its 2027 dates after another year of full bookings.

The 2026 event welcomed around 3,000 campervans and was headlined by the iconic Utah Saints.

Germaine Williams of Dubbed Out said: "It's pretty amazing to see how big the festival and the group have become in such a short space of time without losing their charm.

"We can only thank the Dubbed Out community for that.

"And we've plenty of runway left. Both myself and Neil are very proud and grateful."

The festival began in June 2022 at Ashley Hall in Cheshire with just 1,000 vans and has grown steadily each year.

Though rooted in the Volkswagen (VW) community, Dubbed Out welcomes all campervans, motorhomes, and converted vans.

The 2027 festival will run from July 29 to August 1 at the Royal Cheshire Showground in Tabley, Knutsford.

The lineup will be announced in December 2026, and tickets will go on sale on January 31, 2027.

Fans can sign up for early ticket notifications via the festival’s website.

Around 30 per cent of attendees are under 18, reflecting the festival’s family-friendly focus.

Dubbed Out is now considered the third-largest VW and campervan festival in the UK.

The event originated from the Dubbed Out Community, a private Facebook group with more than 70,000 members.

Nearly 40,000 Dubbed Out stickers have been sold, making the logo a common sight on campervans across the UK and Europe.

From 2027 onward, the festival will be camping-only, with no day tickets available.

Organisers continue to emphasise the importance of community, safety, and fun as the event moves into its sixth year.
