After 17 incredible years, we’ve made the very difficult decision that VolksPower will no longer be going ahead.
This decision has not been taken lightly and required both head and heart consideration. It has been a very hard decision for the whole family from a heart perspective, but ultimately the current economic position of the event means that to carry on puts too much risk on us. While our passion for VolksPower remains, we have had to make a responsible decision for the future.
The event has been an amazing journey from the very beginning, and none of it would have been possible without the unwavering support of our traders, customers, friends, and the wider community. Your passion, loyalty, and enthusiasm have made VolksPower what it was, and we are truly grateful to every single person who has paid their dues and been a been part of it over the past 17 years.
We would like to say a massive thank you to the North East VW Club for their exceptional support over the years and their amazing fundraising efforts. The charity aspect of the weekend has always been something we were incredibly proud of, and knowing it genuinely made a difference to children’s lives is one of VolksPower’s greatest achievements.
To all of the teams we have worked with over the years, we want to thank you for the quality of service you provided, the full support you always gave us and the friendships that were made. Our designer in chief, Mal Pye, also deserves recognition for his design work which always gave us a great frontage.
It has also been an absolute pleasure to bring you the very best in entertainment and music, with some truly amazing bands and acts joining us along the way and helping to create the atmosphere that made VolksPower so special.
To all those who displayed their cars, vans and bikes on our show field over the years — we salute you. You were always the stars of the show.
While this chapter closes, we’re sure we’ll still catch up with many of you in fields along the way, and rest assured — we’ll keep on dubbin’!
Refunds will be processed and should be with you within the next seven days. Please contact us after that time if you have not received repayment.
Thank you again for 17 unforgettable years of VolksPower. ❤️
Paul and Mandy
