Vee Dub Christmas Cruz 2025 – Sunday

The second of our two Vee Dub Christmas Cruz 2025 events is happening on Sunday 14th December.

Our main sponsor for the Sunday Cruz, The Old Dub Shop at Pill, have generously funded the Cruz packs, event stickers and postage. Alongside them Howden Insurance Thatcham have sorted public liability insurance, and Bristol Detailing Supplies backs our motorcycle escort team. Big thanks to them all – because of their support, we can give even more of the money raised from the Cruz to The Grand Appeal.

What are the Vee Dub Christmas Cruz’s?

Started by Vee Dub Family back in 2017, our ethos is simple – bring as many festive VW’s together as possible to spread lots of festive cheer through our local communities and raise money for The Grand Appeal, the official charity of the Bristol Children’s Hospital! We work closely with both Avon and Somerset Police and North Somerset Highways to ensure everyone stays safe. If you would like to take part, just decorate your Dub – van or car, air or water cooled – with tinsel, lights, baubles, Christmas trees, Santa Claus, elves, stickers and anything else festive. Your imagination (and the laws of physics!) are the only limitations! As space is limited, only Dubs with registered tickets can join in and cruz tickets are non-refundable. We have a Just Giving page and Text to Donate number again this year, please share these around to family and friends and also when out and about.

Participant tickets for this event are available via the Vee Dub Family website.
