ROLL IN ON THE 15TH AFTER 10 AM, AND ROLL OUT ON THE 19TH OF APRIL!

Defender Fest is the ultimate family weekend gathering for Land Rover Defender enthusiasts — a national invitation to all Land Rover Defenders and their lineage, from the very first models introduced in 1983 through to the modern icons of today.

Proudly presented by British Off road, the event is a massive community, family, and friends campout weekend. 

Defender Fest brings together the people, stories, and spirit that make the Defender lifestyle so iconic.

This year, we proudly present the event at its new home, Kenilworth Homestead in the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland. 

Expect masses of epic Defenders on display, live music, tasty food trucks, industry exhibitors, market stalls, storytellers, influencers, plenty of good vibes and the 4WD Tracks & Trails experience — adding even more adventure, exploration and off-road excitement to an already action-packed weekend.

Whether you’re showcasing your Defender, County, 90, 110, 127/130 or Perentie in the Show’N’Dusty, tackling the tracks and trails, chasing inspiration for your next adventure, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, Defender Fest 2027 is the ultimate gathering for enthusiasts of the iconic Land Rover Defender and the tribe that drives it.

Whilst this event is an unashamedly focused celebration of the Land Rover Defender and its community, we warmly invite the entire Land Rover community to join us for an unforgettable weekend together.

Bring your mates, bring the family, or rally your Land Rover club’s Defender contingent to represent — it’s going to be a weekend to remember.

One Life. Live It.
