Our beloved vintage 1976 VW Campervan, affectionately known as ‘Poppy,’ made a memorable appearance at the Ushaw Classic Car Show, proving to be a star attraction despite a slightly bumpy start to the day.
The morning began with unexpected delays, as road closures and even a faulty petrol pump threatened to disrupt our journey. However, the fantastic weather—a perfect mix of dry air, sunshine, and a cloudless blue sky—more than made up for the initial hiccups.
On the half-hour drive down to Durham, the journey itself became part of the adventure. We were soon joined by other classic vehicles heading to the same event, forming an impressive and unscheduled convoy that turned heads all the way to the show’s entrance.
Upon arrival, the scale of the event was immediately clear. The show field was bustling with visitors and almost overflowing with an incredible mix of classic cars, from vintage sports models to American muscle. The vibrant atmosphere was a testament to the thriving classic car community.
‘Poppy’ was set up for display in full wedding trim, showcasing its potential as a charming and unique wedding car. The effort paid off, as the van proved to be incredibly popular. Visitors flocked to take photos of ‘Poppy’ and showed great interest in its use for weddings, with many people picking up our leaflets.
The day was a huge success, celebrating a shared passion for classic vehicles and confirming that ‘Poppy’ remains a firm favourite with the public. We look forward to the next show!

I took Poppy to Ushaw Classic Car Show yesterday for a fantastic day. The weather was great and there was over 600 cars on display! Poppy received a lot of attention as she stood out quite well in full wedding dress.
Poppy attended the Wedding Fair at The Grotto in South Shields last Sunday. There was a great turn out from suppliers and potential customers. We had some good interest in the van and a lot of positive comments!
The diary is open for bookings for next year with some dates already taken! Please get in touch if you would like any more information or have any questions. Thanks.
The website is now online as you can probably see! There is still some content to be added like more pictures and videos, which I will be adding very soon.
I am also now open for bookings. Look out on The Wedding Camper social media (Facebook & Instagram) for updates on the van and more.
