Our festival and camping areas are on grass. After recent rain, parts of the site are already too wet for the marquee delivery truck. Even a dry Halloween weekend would not necessarily give the ground enough time to recover for campers, caravans and other vehicles.
With set-up due to begin on Wednesday, we had to make the decision in advance for everyone’s safety.
Racing at Manston is run separately by the venue on tarmac. It is not part of Kamperfest and may still go ahead.
This is a postponement, not a cancellation. We’re sorry for the disappointment and appreciate your patience while we arrange a new date.
Kamperfest will not go ahead on 30 October–1 November 2026. A new date and venue will be announced once confirmed.
