The story

Vantastival in Drogheda

A family-run music festival at Beaulieu House and Gardens near Drogheda, County Louth, founded in 2009 and modeled on UK campervan-culture festivals, combining three stages of live music with family-friendly activities and on-site camping set against the festival's own persistent vanlife decor theme each summer weekend.

Founded in 2009 and modeled on campervan-culture festivals from the United Kingdom, this family-run event at Beaulieu House and Gardens near Drogheda, County Louth, marked a tenth anniversary in 2019 built around a campervan and vanlife theme that has continued to shape the festival's visual identity even as its programming broadened over time into a general family music festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

Its scheduling has shifted between spring and autumn bank-holiday weekends across its history rather than following one single fixed month

03

The city starts moving

Its shifting calendar position, appearing around spring bank holidays in some years and September in others, reflects an independent, family-run festival adapting its schedule over time
