Peter Vaughan and Motorhome Matt reveal the big news – Spartan Campers are the new headline sponsor for Campervan Campout Festival 2026!

The countdown is officially on for Campervan Campout Festival 2026, taking place from 1–3 May 2026 at the South of England Showground, Ardingly.
Returning for its fourth year, the event has already become one of the highlights of the UK vanlife calendar — and this year it’s set to be even bigger.

In a brand-new announcement video, filmed exclusively for the MotorhomeCampervan YouTube channel, Peter Vaughan and Motorhome Matt revealed that Spartan Campers will take the top spot as the headline sponsor for the 2026 event.

And that’s not all — the main entertainment hub will now proudly be known as The Spartan Campers Stage, where festival-goers can enjoy a packed weekend of live music, DJ sets, fitness classes, and much more still to be announced — bringing energy and entertainment to every part of the weekend.

Why Spartan Campers

A perfect partnership for the vanlife community

Spartan Campers have been on the scene for around four years, steadily growing a loyal following of passionate owners. Known for their premium craftsmanship, innovative layouts and strong community spirit, Spartan Campers have evolved from a small start-up into one of the most respected names in the campervan world.

Their first appearance at Campervan Campout came in 2025, where they took a stand for the first time and introduced their own club camping area, allowing customers to camp alongside the Spartan team for the full weekend. The stand quickly became one of the most talked-about areas of the show, with existing owners joining the team to share their experiences and inspire new buyers — capturing the essence of what vanlife is all about: connection, creativity, and adventure.

Since then, Spartan Campers have exhibited at Warners Shows events for two consecutive years, becoming a firm favourite with visitors. This new headline partnership at Campervan Campout 2026 marks the next chapter in their story.

“It just exploded for us,” says Simon from Spartan Campers. “We wanted to be able to give back to our community — our Spartan family — and Campervan Campout is the perfect place to do that.”

Out & About Live Awards

🏆 Converter of the Year 2025

Spartan Campers’ rapid rise hasn’t gone unnoticed — in 2025 they were crowned Campervan Converter of the Year in the Out & About Live Awards. (Read more here) This award recognised their outstanding craftsmanship, innovation, and customer care — an incredible achievement for a brand still relatively young in the market. It’s a testament to the loyalty of the Spartan Family and the respect they’ve earned across the industry.

The Spartan community spirit

What makes Spartan Campers stand out isn’t just the vans — it’s the people.
At every show, the Spartan Campers stand has become a hub for conversation and connection. Owners regularly come back to share stories from their travels, offer advice to potential buyers, and show off the small personal touches they’ve added to their conversions.

As Simon explained in the video:

“We’ve had customers return to the stand at every event, not just to say hello but to help other visitors understand what makes our vans special. Some have even ended up selling vans for us just by sharing their stories!”

It’s that spirit that defines Spartan Campers — a company built around the idea of community, trust and quality.

Spartan T7

Exciting new launches for 2026

As headline sponsor, Spartan Campers will be showcasing two major new releases at Campervan Campout Festival 2026.

The first is the Spartan T7, a larger, refined version of their current range, built to carry everything that makes their previous models so popular — but bigger, better, and even more versatile.

The second is a groundbreaking U-shape Volkswagen conversion. This all-new model has fully belted, crash-tested seats — a feature rarely found in this layout — setting a new standard for safety and comfort.

“We didn’t want to rush it,” Simon added. “We waited until everything was properly crash-tested so we could do it the Spartan way — the right way. We can’t wait to unveil it at Campervan Campout.”

Both new models will make their official debut at the festival, giving visitors a first look at Spartan Campers’ next evolution in design and innovation.
