We’re very pleased to be welcoming back the Wilts V-Dub club this year. They have been a great addition to the event and supported us for many years, making very generous donations to help ensure the success and longevity of our much loved event.

Wilts V-Dub Club was founded in 2009 and is a community of Classic and Custom VW enthusiasts from Wiltshire and the surrounding areas. Whether it’s an early Beetle, Splitty, Bay, or modern-day T4’s, T5’s, T6’s, Golfs or Lupos – our line-up is diverse, rare and always eye-catching.
The Club usually meets on the 1st Sunday of every month at our "home base":
Sleight Valley Golf Ltd, The Range, Sleight, Devizes, Wiltshire. SN10 3HW.
There is a lovely cafe on site that serves great food, cakes, hot and cold drinks. Dogs are welcome on site but not inside the cafe.

We have a mid-week meeting most weeks. Alternate Wednesdays are at Sleight Valley from 6pm.
In between the Sleight Valley meetings we also have regular meetings in Swindon and Chippenham.
Please check for the next meeting date on Events tab our page.

The club is also represented at many weekend shows throughout the year.
If you after some friendly VW advice or just want to admire some stunning vehicles, please drop by and say hello.

Our Tractor Section is a true crowd-pleaser, featuring 200+ vintage tractors from the 1920s through to the 1980s — a dream for farming and heritage fans alike
