Get ready for an unforgettable weekend of family fun, funky vibes, and camping cool at Wight Buggin’ 2026 – the Isle of Wight’s favourite VW and camping festival, set in the breathtaking surroundings of Retro Staycations.

Whether you’re a VW enthusiast, music lover, or just looking for a chilled-out family getaway, Wight Buggin’ has something for everyone.

🌟 What’s On:

🎉 Friday Night Welcome Party
Kick things off in style at our Back2Skool Throwback Disco, hosted by the one and only DJ Dub. Expect nothing but 90s and 00s dancefloor classics as we throw it back inside our massive marquee. Fancy dress encouraged – bring the retro heat!

🎶 Saturday – Live Music All Day
Enjoy a full day of live bands, including an extended headline set from Blonde Bombshell, who will be covering a wide range of hits from the 1960s to the 2000s and beyond! When the live music winds down, the party keeps going with a Hush Silent Disco – pick your vibe, pop on your headphones, and dance the night away.

😎  Sunday – Chill Out Day
Campers can kick their shoes off and enjoy a delicious beverage from our full bar, courtesy of Island Ales. Savour a mouth-watering hot or cold treat from one of our local food trucks and browse the Vendor Village full of unique stalls and auto jumble treasures.
