What’s On?
What started last year as an incredible 200-person community van meet hosted by brett (brettman Valleyvan) has grown into something much bigger, much more inclusive, and incredibly special. Welcome to the Leave No Trace Festival.
Whether you live full-time on the road in a self-converted camper, own a motorhome, love pitching a tent for a weekend under the stars, or simply crave connection with like-minded, nature-loving people—this festival is for you. We are opening the gates to everyone who loves vanlife, community, the outdoors, and good vibes.
What’s on the Horizon for September 2026?
⛺ All-Vehicle & Tent Camping: Spaces for everything from large vans and micro-campers to traditional ground tents.
🤫 Quiet Camping available: Set up camp in our dedicated quiet zone, located furthest from the music and festivities for those heading to bed early, just mention on the gate that you would like to camp in the quiet camping zone.
🎵 The Marquee & Sound System: Get ready for live music and our resident DJ Sam to keep the energy going into the night.
🎤 Live Q&As: A live Q&A with brettman Valleyvan and others (to be announced).
🍎 Food & Drink: Taste the best the region has to offer with our very own local cider bar. There will also be hot food to purchase on site.
🐶 Dogs are more than welcome: Bring your pups to join in on the festival fun! However, because the event site is located directly next to a working farm with livestock, all dogs must be kept on leads at all times to ensure the safety of the animals and your furry friends.
🔥 Raised campfires: Permitted on site, provided they are completely elevated off the ground and have a fire blanket placed directly underneath them to protect the grass from any heat damage.
🌱 The “Leave No Trace” Ethos: A festival with a conscience. We are coming together to celebrate nature, which means respecting the beautiful grounds of Nibley House Farm and leaving the land exactly as we found it, please show respect and pick up your litter, thank you.
Location - Nibley House Farm, North Nibley, Dursley, Gloucestershire, GL11 6DL
