Aircooled Campout 2026

AIRCOOLED CAMPOUT 2026 (Aircooled Vehicles ONLY although we have opened it up to T25's and MK1 LT's))

So after the success of this event in 2025 (see out FB page for more Photos https://www.facebook.com/AircooledEventsLimited) we are back at the Lancashire Mining Museum for 2026, they loved having us there as much as we enjoyed being there.

It’s not a campsite as such but the Museum which is a registered charity and are raising funds to maintain/restore the headgear has a large field behind the Museum which will be the site for our Campout.

The Museum has restored the 3,300 hp twin tandem compound steam winding engine and this will be running on the Sunday of the campout (We might be able to get it running on the Saturday as well for additional funds) The train ride on site will also be open on the Sunday, for more details about the museum please visit their site: https://lancashireminingmuseum.org/

This event is based on the successful formula of the Earlybay & Aircooled Campouts we have run for the last few years and we would like to stress this is not a commercial venture to make money, its all about getting owners of aircooled vehicles together for a weekend. Camping is for Aircooled Vehicles only.

You will be able to arrive anytime from Friday lunchtime onwards find a spot in the Field, pitch up and meet people you have spoken to from forums/facebook and make some new friends, talk aircooled vehicles and generally have a good time.

There is no planned evening entertainment its a back to basics weekend but we planning on a Spotify DJ set for at least the Saturday night, where you the audience pick the tunes, this was a great success in 2025.  As in previous years we will supply a large communal BBQ for everyone to use on the Friday/Saturday night but would ask you bring your own food and some charcoal to share.

There is a local pub within walking distance and theres a few supermarkets a short drive away. There is also direct access to the Bridgewater Canal for local walk etc and route to the pub (The Boat Inn).

There are no traders or food stalls on site so you need to bring all you need to eat and drink with you,

You are more than welcome to bring spares you may have for sale to try and sell them on, all i would say is if you can help another owner out with a part to get their vehicle back on the road then lets keep prices sensible :)

We need people to prebook so we can see whether the toilet facilities we have are enough so its ADVANCE TICKET only.

The cost  this year is £46.50 per VEHICLE for weekend (Fri & Sat Night & Sunday) , this is only slightly more than the site is costing but this is to cover the cost of event sticker & expenses etc, hope this is ok with everyone. 

Any questions or anything you think of get in touch, this event is really open to all Aircooled Vehicles but please no modern water cooled campers (we will allow T25's and MK1 LT's but nothing newer)

**Sorry but no refunds as its costs the event money due to credit card handling charges**

**The organisers reserve the right to refuse admission without giving a reason why**
