What’s on
In 2025 the VolksWorld Show made the move to the purpose-built South of England Showground in Ardingly, Sussex. And for 2026 we’re back!
This stunning venue features multiple display halls, along with far more outside space. This means we can present the VolksWorld concours collection inside the Queen’s Jubilee Hall, with further display vehicles located in the all weather Robins Building, too.
Here’s a look at what you can expect to see at VolksWorld Show 2026!

At the heart of the event are the car clubs celebrating the rich community that keeps the air-cooled VW scene alive. If you’re a fan of grass-roots air-cooled VWs, head to the VolksWorld Show to connect with like-minded enthusiasts and experience the camaraderie and dedication that make the community special.

Special Display
Not part of a club but would still love to display your car? Well panic not! We offer drivers who aren’t part of a club the opportunity to display their car within the Special Display area at the event which will be located within the show for just £20! As long as you’ve got an air-cooled VW, you will be guaranteed a spot within the Special Display area.
Beach Buggy Bonanza!
The VolksWorld Show 2026 will, once again, feature an exclusive display of world-class Beach Buggies, showcasing vehicles that redefine automotive craftsmanship. Visitors will marvel at the insane level of detailing, incredible paintwork, and innovative modifications that set these Buggies apart from the average beach-swelling VW kit car! With their vibrant paintwork and meticulously detailed engines and interiors, these one-of-a-kind cars are a true testament to the creativity and passion within the Volkswagen community.
Retail Village
The 2026 show promises to be an exciting event for air-cooled VW enthusiasts, featuring top traders and businesses in the industry. Renowned suppliers such as Heritage Parts Centre and Just Kampers will showcase their extensive range of classic VW parts, accessories, and services. From rare engine components to restoration essentials, attendees can explore trade stands offering everything needed to keep their beloved air-cooled VWs running smoothly. This year’s event highlights the vibrant VW community, offering enthusiasts a chance to connect with leading brands, discover exclusive deals, and celebrate the iconic VW legacy in our exclusive Retail Village.
The Concours Collection
VolksWorld will once again feature an exceptional collection of world-class show cars. Renowned for its rich history of high-calibre vehicles, the show brings together a stunning array of meticulously detailed and beautifully presented VWs. From 100-point perfect restorations to cutting-edge custom builds, each vehicle represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and automotive passion. VW enthusiasts will not want to miss the chance to see these extraordinary, air-cooled VWs up close at the show, taking place on 22nd March.
Air-Cooled VW Swapmeet
The world famous Robins Hall Swapmeet at the VolksWorld Show 2026 is the go-to spot for rare second-hand parts and accessories for classic VW Beetles and Campers. Enthusiasts can discover elusive items for their beloved vehicles, making it a must-visit for collectors and restorers alike!
