Awesome!! Thanks guys! This isn’t just an opportunity for sellers, if you are looking for something in particular or just fancy a perusal of what’s on offer, you know it makes sense to attend a proper old skool Swapmeet!

Well seems may be too late, have just been informed we are fully booked, no tables left with 70 traders booked in. So looks like we may need to grow further in the future.

Looks like it’s going to be a busy one again!

Yep seems they sold out pretty much instantly, I had been given the wrong msg, that there were some left. My apologies!

But yes all tables are booked, it’s full with 70 traders.

Visited the Swap meet today. Very little in the way of Porsche parts. I can only see this becoming Porsche related if they allocate a percentage of the stalls for the Porsche crowd.
Shame our DDK Porsche swap meet has drifted away.

Sorry I have been so busy I forgot all about posting about this years. It is on, Sunday 1st Feb 2026 at British Motor Museum.

Join us at the Midlands Air-Cooled Swap Meet 2026 for all things vintage VW and Porsche
After the massive, sell-out success of the previous Midland’s Air-Cooled Swap Meets, we’re excited to do all over again and as it’s our 4th event, we thought, hey, let’s go 1/4th bigger!
The date for the next Swap Meet is Sunday 1st February 2026 and will once again be hosted at the excellent British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire and we have agreed to hire more internal space so we can get even more traders in for you lucky folk.
The cash price for entry will remain at £6 per person, with 50p from each cash purchase from the day going to the amazing Marie Curie charity.
As ever, our main focus for indoors will be on quality new and used air-cooled Volkswagen and Porsche related items. So whether it’s NOS/genuine used parts you’re after, or quality new items, we want you to come away with everything you need for your beloved vehicle.
The British Motor Museum is located in the heart of the Midlands, just a few minutes off junction 12 of the M40, so it’s within easy reach for all. This superb venue is set up for events like this and has its own dedicated entrance and extensive parking for your air-cooled vehicles. We will still have the dedicated ‘air-cooled only’ parking section and also a cars for sale area.
Why not make a full day of it by coming along to the swap meet and then having a look around the British Motor Museum's amazing collection of classic British made vehicles? (Separate charges apply).
We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday 1st February 2026.
