Santa Pod Raceway is not just the UK’s premier drag racing venue, but also the home of the Big Bang. The 2019 meeting may have been wet ’n’ windy but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the Camper crew

Big Bang theory

The weather at any early season event in the UK is always a hit and miss affair, and the Big Bang Camper&Bus Show certainly proved that point. However, a little wet weather wasn’t about to spoil the fun and the festival feeling was well and truly in the air at Santa Pod over the weekend of 17-19 May.

Big Bang 2019 hosted an explosive, jampacked schedule for VW lovers of all ages, including show cars, family entertainment, trade stands, club displays and a vast array of music acts on both Friday and Saturday evenings.
