After taking a year out in 2024 after our move ‘Up North’ we are back for 2025 with our next Aircooled Campout, We have found a new location at the Lancashire Mining Museum with easy access from the Motorway network.
It’s not a campsite as such but the Museum which is a registered charity and are raising funds to maintain/restore the headgear has a large field behind the Museum which will be the site for our Campout.
The Museum has restored the 3,300 hp twin tandem compound steam winding engine and this will be running on the Sunday of the campout (We might be able to get it running on the Saturday as well for additional funds) The train ride on site will also be open on the Sunday, for more details about the museum please visit their site:

This event is based on the successful formula of the Earlybay & Aircooled Campouts we have run for the last few years and we would like to stress this is not a commercial venture to make money, its all about getting owners of aircooled vehicles together for a weekend. Camping is for Aircooled Vehicles only.
You will be able to arrive anytime from Friday lunchtime onwards find a spot in the Field, pitch up and meet people you have spoken to from forums/facebook and make some new friends, talk aircooled vehicles and generally have a good time.
There is no planned evening entertainment its a back to basics weekend but we are hoping to get the STFU crew back for at least the Saturday night. As in previous years we will supply a large communal BBQ for everyone to use on the Friday/Saturday night but would ask you bring your own food and some charcoal to share.
There is a local pub within walking distance and theres a few supermarkets a short drive away. There is also direct access to the Bridgewater Canal for local walk etc and route to the pub (The Boat Inn).
There are no traders or food stalls on site so you need to bring all you need to eat and drink with you,
You are more than welcome to bring spares you may have for sale to try and sell them on, all i would say is if you can help another owner out with a part to get their vehicle back on the road then lets keep prices sensible :)
We need people to prebook so we can see whether the toilet facilities we have are enough so its ADVANCE TICKET only.
