Stanford Hall VW Show 2026 (part 2 of 4 )

 This weeks blog review is the first of four reviews all about the Stanford Hall VW show which this year was held on Sunday 3rd May. This is an annual one day event organised by the Leicestershire and Warwickshire VW owners club. The show is held in the grounds of Stanford Hall, which was built in the 1690's in the beautiful village of Stanford-on-Avon, near Lutterworth in Leicestershire, LE17 6DH. The manicured lawns of the hall also has the River Avon gently flowing through the grounds, and provides a spectacular backdrop for a VW show. As Stanford Hall is only about 60 miles from my hometown, and as the weather forecast was good I decided to drive up. I have been to this show quite a few times over the years and there is always a good collection of top quality VW's of all varieties with plenty of trade stands and an auto jumble and all set in the beautiful grounds of Stanford Hall. This show is seen by many as one of those 'not to miss' shows and it always gets busy there. The blog continues as I wander around the show.

Stanford Hall.

The Split Screen Van Club had a huge
display of split screens, as usual.

4 Mango green split screen busses either
side of the entrance to the club's display.

Suzie leading the way.

The number  of busses from The Split
Screen Van Club is always impressive
at this show.

This double cab split caught my eye.

The Split Screen Van clubs busses was 3
 and 4 rows deep all the way along both
sides of the main drive.

A very rare accessory in the U.K.

Back in the main show field.

Stanford Hall sits in 700 acres of private
park and woodland. The tranquil River
Avon flows through the estate.

Dan's absolutely stunning Type 147

This is so clean and straight.

Cal look bug was cool.

Most of the traders had some awesome
vehicles.
