The South West Motorhome & Campervan Show 2026

Set in the heart of beautiful Somerset, this late-season favourite blends live music, countryside charm, and campervan culture into one relaxing weekend. Whether you’re there to browse, camp, dance, or simply unwind, it’s the perfect way to celebrate another great year of outdoor adventures.

A Weekend of Music, Leisure and Discovery

The South West Show has a uniquely laid-back atmosphere — it’s part festival, part exhibition, and all about community. You’ll find over 150 exhibitors, 30+ trusted dealers, and 250+ new and used motorhomes and campervans for sale, giving you the chance to explore every style, size and layout in one place.

But there’s plenty more than vehicles on show. Across the weekend, you can take part in Vanlife Eats cookery demos, bFRANK wellness workshops, and free expert talks in the Advice Centre. There are also motorhome manoeuvring courses if you want to sharpen your driving skills before your next road trip.

And when the sun sets, the showground comes alive with four nights of live music celebrating the sounds of guitar legends — a perfect soundtrack to your Somerset stay.

The Music Line-Up

This year’s entertainment promises to end the season on a high note, with Saturday headliners guaranteed to rock the stage:

🎸 Mercury – celebrating Queen’s greatest hits
🎸 Meatloaf Live – a tribute full of anthemic energy
🎸 Quattro Band – the spirit of classic rock brought to life

From tribute performances to local favourites, every evening offers something different — and the friendly crowd always keeps the atmosphere buzzing.

Relaxed, Friendly and Full of Inspiration

What makes this show special isn’t just the setting or the entertainment — it’s the people.

The South West Motorhome & Campervan Show brings together campers, families, and vanlife enthusiasts for a weekend of shared passions and good company. You’ll find conversations flowing between pitches, new friendships forming over morning coffee, and a general sense that everyone’s there for the same reason: a love of the outdoors.

Add the backdrop of Somerset’s rolling hills, and it’s easy to see why so many people return year after year.
