Bristol Volksfest

03/06/2026

Ever fancied going head-to-head with a T-Rex? Well, this is probably the closest you'll get without being chased through the Jungle.

We're on the hunt for 8 fearless carnivores with prehistoric-sized appetites & nerves of steel to take on the ultimate eating challenge!
The action stomps into the Road House Arena at 14:00 on Saturday. Register from Friday at the Road House.

Think you've got what it takes to become the apex predator of Bristol Volksfest?
Prizes will be won. Legends will be made. Dignity may become extinct.

Enter if you dare...

We're also looking for 4 daring duos to tackle the mighty Sausage Challenge. Teamwork, determination and expandable waistbands are highly recommended.

The Old Dub Shop

Looking back over the last 10 years at Birches Farm, so many people have played a part in making Volksfest what it is today. Few have done it with quite as much passion, enthusiasm and creativity as Spence and The Old Dub Shop crew.

Year after year they've gone above and beyond, pushing the boundaries - bringing incredible displays and often unveiling something brand new at Volksfest. We've seen legendary builds (some controversial) such as Fun Country Dick, the stunning Split Oval, The Beautifully mean & green Beach Buggy and the Fewawi, each one stopping people in their tracks and drawing a crowd.
Their work has become so well known that they even have a burger named after them!

Word on the street is that there's another fresh creation making its debut this year. Unsurprisingly, it's a Beetle! We're excited to see what they've been cooking up and can't wait for the big reveal.

If you want to camp with your club, you have until this Sunday, 31.05.2026, to book on.
Club pitches will be marked out based on the numbers we have on 1st June.
After that time, providing there is still availability, you will be able to book club camping but we won't be able to allocate your pitch with the club.

We only reserve and mark out spaces for clubs that book 10 or more pitches. If your number is less than 10, you can camp in the un-allocated club camping area.

Please also note - There are only a limited amount of pitches left in club camping.
