Up to 170 lit-up Volkswagens leave Worle at 5.30pm on Sunday 13 December, pass the Grand Pier and reach The Range at about 6.15pm. Here is the expected route.

The Vee Dubs Christmas Cruz leaves Queensway Retail Park in Worle at 5.30pm on Sunday 13 December 2026, and up to 170 Volkswagens covered in lights pass the Grand Pier before reaching The Range at about 6.15pm. Find a spot along the route and wave them through.

Overview

  • When: Sunday 13 December, 5.30pm from Worle.
  • Finish: The Range, Weston-super-Mare, at around 6.15pm.
  • Route (expected): the same as last year, listed below.
  • Cost: Visit Weston’s listing describes finding a spot along the route and gives no ticket or price. The convoy collects donations for The Grand Appeal.

The route

Visit Weston says the 2026 Sunday Cruz is expected to follow last year’s route (Visit Weston):

  1. North Worle, from Queensway Retail Park
  2. Worle High Street
  3. Milton Road
  4. The Boulevard
  5. Weston seafront, past the Grand Pier
  6. Oxford Street
  7. Station Road
  8. Hildesheim Bridge
  9. Winterstoke Road, to The Range

The whole trip is timed at about 45 minutes, so be in place before it reaches you. A participant quoted on the Christmas Dubs site singled out the crowds in Worle.

Who runs it

Visit Weston names the organiser as Vee Dub Family, working to bring together as many festive Volkswagens as possible for The Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children’s Hospital charity. Christmas Dubs, the community group behind the December visits around Bristol, says it has raised £148,312.66 for the appeal since 2018.

See them on another night

The Christmas Dubs event list has the convoy at other North Somerset events first:

  • Monday 23 November, Portishead: towing Santa through the High Street for the lights switch-on, 5.40pm to 7pm.
  • Saturday 28 November, Weston: the lights switch-on at the For All Healthy Living Centre on the Bournville, with more details promised nearer the time.
  • Friday 4 December, Nailsea: two laps of the High Street, then parked in the Station Road car park from 6pm to 7pm, where you can meet the drivers.
  • Saturday 5 December, Wrington: at The Plough.

Parking and roads

Neither listing mentions road closures for the convoy, so check back in the week of the event. Seafront car parks are on our parking page, and other works on the route are on our roadworks and travel page. The Christmas Cracker 10K is on the seafront the same morning.

Still to be confirmed

The Christmas Dubs site’s front page showed its events only as far as 8 December when we read it on 5 November, so the 13 December details here come from Visit Weston’s listing. The final route is still described as expected. We will update this page when the organisers confirm it.
