Bridgestone And Kwik Fit Support Camper Calling Festival

Bridgestone and Kwik Fit have signed a two-year partnership with Camper Calling Festival, giving both brands a direct route to campers, families and leisure drivers over the August Bank Holiday weekend. The agreement covers the 2026 and 2027 events and will support Bridgestone’s UK launch of its Duravis Camper Van tyre.

A seasonal route to campervan drivers

Under the agreement, Bridgestone, in partnership with Kwik Fit, becomes Official Tyre Partner of Camper Calling and sponsor of the Lakeside Stage. The 2026 event is due to take place at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire, from 28 to 30 August. Camper Calling’s own event information lists the festival as returning for its 10th year at Ragley Hall over that weekend.

The partnership gives Bridgestone a lifestyle-led platform for the Duravis Camper Van tyre. Tyre News previously reported that Bridgestone had announced its first tyre engineered specifically for motorhomes, the Duravis Camper All Season, with UK availability due from June 2026.

For tyre retailers and autocentre groups, the announcement reflects growing interest in leisure vehicles, campervans and seasonal tyre safety. Campervan users often carry higher loads and travel long distances during peak holiday periods, making tyre condition, pressure checks and correct fitment central to customer advice.

The move also builds on earlier consumer-facing activity involving the two brands. Tyre News reported in 2025 that Bridgestone and Kwik Fit carried out 248 free tyre checks at the British Motor Show, with more than 20% flagged for safety issues.

A partnership linked to safety messaging

Drew Chapman, Consumer Sales Director at Bridgestone UK, said the partnership reflects a shared ambition to help drivers enjoy every journey with confidence, with a focus on safety, reliability and peace of mind. He added that the festival gives Bridgestone a strong platform to support the launch of its first Duravis Camper Van tyre.

Andy Lane, Director of Marketing at Kwik Fit, said Camper Calling gives the business a chance to connect with campers, families and festivalgoers during one of the busiest travel weekends of the summer. He said the partnership brings together two brands focused on helping drivers stay safe and prepared.

David Arthur, Managing Director of Camper Calling, said Bridgestone and Kwik Fit were a natural fit for festival campers because of their association with reliability and helping people enjoy the journey.
