VW owners and enthusiasts flocked to Harewood House this weekend as a special motoring festival got underway.

Around 300 VW vehicles have made their way to the stately home for the event which opened on Friday and continued through Saturday and today.

With Beetles, campervans and custom-made models on display, the VW Festival is the UK’s largest family-friendly Volkswagen show on the calendar. The weekend was also packed with live entertainment and music, with a 90s fancy dress party taking place on Saturday evening.

And the good weather ensured bumper crowds came through the gates.
