I have always fancied it, but watching the costs over the past few years does not work for me.
Plus heard lots of bad reports last year from those members of the RVOC that went.. Also like all events the weather can make or break it.
Malvern is a good show in August.. especially with the MHF section, get a fair number of RV's in our group and the show is all billed as An American show.. certainly large numbers turn up.. 5000 motorhomes and the country music is very good and in several halls each night.
Worth looking it up and see whats on offer.. plus.. it is a lot lot cheaper.

as others have said there is now comparison between Malvern and Americana two totally different weekends.
All the best Rick
Sorry Rick, having been too both I just can't see it anyhting like each other. One has all of America brought to the UK, in terms of cars, music, rockerbilly bands, motorcycles, trucks american stalls 3 or 4 huge stages with quality bands, line dancing, jazzed up hot rods and pick ups a load of people wishing they were Americans (or even thinking they are) in denim, people from the age of 0-100 with many being in the 20s & 30s drinking beer and having a good laugh.
The other has mainly european motorhomes, mainly grumpy old gits in their late 50s and 60's moaning about the spec of brittish motorhomes and the amount of Kids about, althought there's only 10 in the whole place. a few dressed in cowboy gear shooting off pretend guns and a few others pretending to be Indians (those were the best for me, we thought they were great)
They are, I believe, worlds and worlds apart....
give me the americana anyday over malvern.
My opinion of course and as said we have done both. :thumb:

we have attended americana for the last 4 years,the first 3yrs were brilliant,last year was a very expensive let down.there was no atmosphere,far fewer traders, less exhibitors and to cap it all on the saturday and sunday the place was overrun with Itinerantsmany having no wristbands and just there to see what they could lift and cause trouble.there was a lot of unease there which made for what we felt was an unpleasant weekend.when you take into account the cost of the tickets for 3 persons,the fuel,and spending money it very soon becomes a £700.00 weekendwe are definately not attending this year.

£210 ouchAs Paul has said, the Americana and the Malvern Show are two completely differing events. We have been to both and have enjoyed both, Pam prefers the Malvern Show, I prefer Americana. However at £210 for the weekend and with no headline act as yet, we will be giving Americana a miss this year. I am sure that those who do go will have a great time as we have in the past.

£210 ouch
I would not pay that for a weekend stay no matter how good people reported it was last year
it is an obscene amount of money
not so dear boyoh:See I can only repet what one funster said a while ago, think it was Eddie VB,,,
its only a lot of money if you haven't got it.
To some the thought of paying £10 for a show would be too much, for others £1000 would be too much....:thumb:

ho well some people obviously have more money than sense.
what is the old adage ? "ho yes"
"A fool and his money are easy to part with"
most of us could have several weekends away for that sort of money
Americana sorry i will not attend this year or any other year at those kind of prices.
not so dear boyoh:
