Jim created a new event:

Shepton Motorhome Show

This used to be one of the most popular motorhome shows of the year. Sadly a lack of effort and attention from the organisers over the last few years and it really went down hill. However, the old organisers who ran it (into the ground) have now gone and the show is being run by Warners.

This really is good news, it means that the traders who deserted it will return and a decent weekend's entertainment puts the Shepton show back on the map. The Rock Theme and trips to historic Bath will...

Glad to hear the news and hopefully it will be better supported, we went the year before last and it was dismally
supported by vendors and campers alike.

We exhibited at the Shepton Mallet show for years and due to a series of circumstances the organisers ran the show into the ground.

However, Warners (MMM) do, without a doubt organise the very best shows, and the Shepton Mallet show was always "THE" show of the season so it should be absolutely fantastic this year.

Loads of exhibitors, like us are flocking back to the show, the weather is "normally great" (who remembers the Bath & Wet floods lol) and Warners have booked loads of live bands and entertainment for the whole period

It should be a cracker!

Bus Trips – Bath and Wells
With Bath twenty miles and Wells just eight miles drive away, the showground is conveniently located for you to make the most of your surroundings whilst staying with us.

On Friday 8th September campers can look forward to a trip to the beautiful and unique city of Bath. A fantastic city centre, brimming with things to do where you can shop until you drop but also relax and unwind.
Tickets can be booked prior to the show costing ÂŁ10 each return. The Coach will depart at 10am and leave Bath at 3pm.

We will be providing a subsidised shuttle bus service for campers on Saturday 9th September. This will run continuously from the showground to Wells, the smallest city in England. The Wells Market Place has a twice weekly market on Wednesday and Saturday selling local produce and goods.

Tickets are ÂŁ2 each return (50p for children) and can be purchased from the Information Office. Coaches will start running from the showground at 9am, and the last return will be 5pm from the town centre.
