VW Whitenoise, a festival dedicated to Volkswagens and top live music, returns to Fritton Lake on 5, 6 and 7 August 2011, taking over the whole site this year. You can buy tickets on the day - just turn up, buy tickets and have fun!. The event attracts over 5,000 owners and fans of VW’s with Saturday night ‘Comedy in the Barn’ from Mark Felgate, Rob Coleman and Chuck Cash and the Fenland Cowboys, new for 2011.

Artistic visitors – watch as a 60ft blank canvas is
transformed by Norwich-based graffiti artists ‘Sticky Fingerz’ and get

Over 70 traders
including clothing, jewellery, tattooist, auto-jumble, art, late bar, on-site caterers, bouncy campervan, dodgems and use of all Fritton Lake facilities during the day, including FREE rowing boat hire.
Norwich couple Lucy (age 34) and Neil Haughey (age 40) organise
the event. Neil Haughey, said: “We had a massive turnout in 2010 on just half
the site so we’ve taken over the whole site for 2011. The appeal of the VW
Camper lifestyle keeps growing and after nine years we’re now garnering
national support, interest and attendance from bigger named bands, more comedy
and art, and the UK VW scene is really standing up and taking notice of us.

“We organise this event in our spare time and there’s not much
spare anymore! We wanted to make this the kind of friendly, affordable camping
and music weekend we thought was missing in East Anglia and Fritton Lake is the
perfect gem in which to host it.”
