Back in 2012, we set out to create an event which broke the usual mould and combined our passions of music and car culture. What we then achieved over the following years to come was beyond our wildest dreams. We would like to start by thanking each and every one of you who attended over the years as you guys made it what it became.
Unfortunately though, after 11 successful years of operating at Westmorland County Showground, our time has now come to an end. After a decision in late 2024 the Showground board informed us quite bluntly that we are no longer welcome there. We immediately asked for an explanation as to why, but it seems we have been ignored as we're yet to receive any response. We were however told casually back in August that we were not a 'palatable' enough event for some local residents.
What's disappointing to see is that other events we without a doubt paved the way for on the showground; are still going ahead with a very similar format to ours.
We've decided to take a break in 2025 to search for a new venue, but like to think we'll be back bigger than ever in 2026.
Thanks for all your support, Stef, Matt & the CumbriaVAG Team.
