VW Festival

Cash for Kids are proud to be the charity partner for the VW Festival for the 6th year running.

The Cash for Kids teams from the 3 Yorkshire sites; Radio Aire (Leeds), Hallam FM (Sheffield) and Viking FM (Hull), come together for this amazing annual event at Harewood House.

With the opportunity to win a fully-restored VW Beetle car, people travel from far and wide to get their hands on one of the £3 raffle tickets. The Cash for Kids teams come prepared, with up to 40 volunteers each day, helping sell the tickets to the crowds.

Over the past 5 years over £90,000 has been raised from the raffle, supporting thousands of children across Yorkshire who may be sick, disabled or living in poverty.

VW Festival is a family-friendly, entertainment-filled weekend that has something for everyone. You can spend the day, or the full weekend looking around some of the best Volkswagens that the UK (and in some cases abroad) has to offer, as well as enjoying live music, an awesome live graffiti display, a dog show, as well as a wide variety of other entertainment throughout the weekend.

Previous years have seen chainsaw juggling, fire eaters, stilt walkers, fire dancers, circus performers, an F1 simulator, a BMX display team, and free runners….the list goes on and on, and is in addition to the extensive list of activities permanently resident in the grounds of Harewood House! Prepare to take the little kids (and big kids) home very tired indeed!
