KafernationUK Show 2026

KafernationUK Returns for 2026!

After the on-going success of the previous KafernationUK events this year is going to be even bigger and even better . The team have worked hard to grow and improve KafernationUK year on year learning from previous shows and building on the grassroutes event that Kafernation once was, incorporating all that we love about the huge multi-day events in Europe into a 1 day show here in the UK.

Following the downpour that was KafernationUK 2025, this year we are hoping to get back the English weather. 

Once again KafernationUK will be a pre-book only event with limited tickets available and last year we sold out. To guarantee entry, you must order your tickets in advance on-line both for air-cooled display tickets and general admission (non air-cooled) ticket's.

Avoid disappointment and secure your tickets ASAP.

KafernationUK 2026 will be set at the stunning Buckland park lake in the heart of the Surrey hills. This scenic lake is the perfect setting to chill out for the day amongst these incredible air-cooled Volkswagens overlooking the picturesque water.

Camping is available at a local campsite that we have partnered up with to allow for people looking to travel from afar to come down the night before, chill with mates before heading over to the venue in the morning. We do not have any plans for the Friday/ Saturday night but will probably end up having a few drinks at a local pub after the show on Saturday. Camping this year will need to be booked directly with the campsite - Henfold Lakes - https://henfoldleisureltd.co.uk/ for anyone looking to camp and would like to fish on the Friday/Sunday fishing day tickets can be purchased onsite.

PLEASE NOTE:

• We are unable to have dogs at the venue - Guide dogs are allowed.
• Pre-booking to show is required both for Air-cooled Show cars and general admission. Unfortunately you may be turned away on the day if you have not pre-booked a ticket.

*More details coming soon
