CamperJam 2010 will be our third event and already CamperJam is one of the most talked about and anticipated weekends on the VW Calender. This is all down to you, our visitors, who have shown support and believed in what we are creating in this unique event... thank you. Once again the idyllic, beautiful and central setting of Weston Park will be our home over the weekend of the 9th - 11th July 2010.

There will be a plethora of things for you to do over the course of the weekend again this year (please visit our ‘What’s On?’ and ‘What’s New?’ links for more details). And we will be introducing a few new elements into the show, so please make sure you re-visit the site for announcements as and when things get confirmed. More importantly, you need to start planning yours and your children's costumes for the Saturday Night entertainment... all we are saying for now is the theme is 'The Wild West'!

We have listened to last year’s visitors' comments (something we feel it is imperative to do to put on a succesful event of this size) and all of your constructive comments have been taken on board and more importantly for you, acted upon.

All we ask of you, is simply to bring along your smiles and the sunshine... See you there!
