About this event
Vantastival is a gloriously independent, award-winning festival which returns to Beaulieu House from 19th to 21st of September 2025 for its 13th outing. Music fans and campervanners flock to this unique family-friendly event for its fantastically diverse line up and super-friendly vibes. Other attractions include gourmet food stalls, festival traders, wonderful walled garden full of kids' activities, arts, crafts and many other fun and novel additions, ensuring that Vantastival has something for everyone, with or without a campervan!
Campervans are welcome to park on site (right next to the arena) at no extra charge, but you don’t have to have a campervan to enjoy all that’s on offer and there is a dedicated tent campsite for those without vans! Our ‘Bring Your Own Booze’ policy also means that Vantastival is one of the most affordable festivals in Ireland. If you're tired of the bigger commercial events and want to enjoy great music in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, then Vantastival is the festival for you!
