How to post a meetup (please read first)

Meetups are welcome — please post in Community & Meetups using this template so people know what they’re joining.

Before you post

  • Prefer public venues: campsites, events, pub car parks with permission, organised shows
  • Don’t use the forum to organise large informal gatherings on sensitive land
  • You’re responsible for your event; VanLifeUK doesn’t insure or vet meetups

Copy this template into a new topic

Title: [Meetup] Area — short description — date

Body:

  • Date & time:
  • Rough location: (town/region + venue name if public — no secret overnight spots)
  • Who it’s for: (all vans, families, dogs ok, etc.)
  • What’s happening: (coffee, convoy, campsite social, etc.)
  • Cost: (free / pitch fee / ticket link)
  • Contact: (reply here / DM after trust — avoid posting personal phone in public if you can use the forum)
  • Accessibility / notes:

After the event

A short “how it went” photo thread (with consent) helps the community — post in Vanlife Chat or UK Travel as a trip report, not a new spot dump.
