The date has been set: May 20-21, 2023. Time for the 3rd European Barndoor Gathering & Vintage VW Show aka the Ben Pon Show in Enschede, the Netherlands.

After a successful 1st edition in 2014 and 2nd edition in 2018 (often described as “EPIC” by participants) many VW-enthusiast are looking forward to the next edition. Participants are getting their vintage VWs ready for the trip, planning convoys from the UK, Scandinavia, Spain, Czech, Italy and so on. We counted visitors from 28 countries, while we expect even more nationalities during the 3rd edition.

Join us this weekend with traders, camping, food-trucks, classic VWs of all types and to set a new Barndoor Gathering World Record! Be there! Tickets available now!
