About Us

A van, a passion
and a big idea

Headliner Campervans is a small, owner-managed hire business based in Kendal, Cumbria. Here's the story behind it.

Our Story

Where you're the main act

Headliner Campervans started with a simple idea: what if hiring a campervan felt less like a transaction and more like borrowing a van from a mate who really knows their stuff?

We're based in Kendal, right on the edge of the Lake District — one of the most spectacular corners of England. We've spent years exploring these roads, these fells and these campsites. And we've spent just as many summers in festival fields, waking up to the sound of a distant stage and a morning brew on the gas hob.

That's the spirit behind Headliner. A van that's equally at home parked up at Glastonbury or tucked into a quiet valley in Borrowdale. Built for couples, small families and anyone who wants to travel on their own terms — with a bit of style and a lot of comfort.

The van is ready and so are we. Follow along on Instagram or drop us a message — we'd love to hear where you're planning to go.

What we believe in

The Headliner way

01

Personal from the start

When you hire Headliner, you're dealing directly with the owner — not a booking platform, not a call centre. We care about your trip because it's our van, our passion and our reputation on the road.

02

Built for real adventures

We didn't want a van that looked good in photos but fell short on the road. Every decision — from the conversion spec to the kit list — was made with actual trips in mind. Festivals, fells, long weekends and longer journeys.

03

Rooted in the Lakes

We're based in Kendal, right on the doorstep of the Lake District. We know these roads, these campsites and these views. And we love sharing them — whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned adventurer.

Two worlds, one van

From the festival field to the Lakeland fells

Most campervans are built for one kind of trip. Headliner is built for all of them. Heading to Glastonbury, Latitude or Green Man? We've got you. Planning a week in the Lakes, a drive up the NC500 or a crossing to Europe? Same van, same comfort, same quality.

The festival angle isn't a gimmick — it's part of who we are. We love live music, we love the outdoors, and we love the fact that a great campervan lets you do both without compromise.
