Alongside the Advice Centre, visitors can explore a large exhibition area featuring motorhomes, campervans, accessories and outdoor leisure retailers, all set within the beautiful Somerset countryside at Shepton Mallet. Free motorhome manoeuvring courses, live daytime music and even a coach trip to Bath add to a packed programme of things to see and do.

Featuring undercover seating, daytime music and a line-up of trusted, high-quality food vendors — plus improved bar facilities — it’s designed to be a welcoming social space to relax and refuel during the day.
When evening arrives, Warners Shows’ renowned live entertainment takes centre stage. Campers can look forward to headline tribute acts including Mercury, Maetloaf Live and the Quattro Band, during the day there is bingo and outdoor activities such as axe throwing, archery and target paintball. It all adds up to a weekend that truly delivers on the promise to inform, entertain and inspire.
