AIRCOOLED CAMPOUT 2026

So we are now in 2026 and as most of you know we have already secured the 5th - 7th June for the AIRCOOLED CAMPOUT with Lancashire Mining Museum and tickets are now available to purchase. Everyone that came in 2025 thought the site was great and the museum loved having us there, we have taken on board some comments from this year and will try and get more ‘shorter’ grass area available for camping. Remember all the proceeds that go to the museum help it to continue running��Looking forward to seeing you all again and hopefully seeing some more aircooled vehicles and their owners this year (its only 140 days away)

Wow, what can we say?, the support over the weekend for our first Aircooled Campout ‘Up North’ has been great!!��

We think everyone really loved the venue and the Museum staff were super supportive over the whole weekend including running the engine house winding gear engines up earlier than usual so most people could see them in action before they left, the weather treated us kindly with only a little bit of drizzle on Sat night/early Sunday morning.��

A huge thank you to those that supported the event and especially to those that travelled long distances to be there and show their support, its a pity that more Aircooled owners from the North West didn’t attend but hopefully they will join us next year as we will be back with another one.��

Loads of photos from over the weekend that we will load up into an Album on the Aircooled Events page but if you have more pics feel free to post them up the more the merrier, we’ve seen some great ones so far
