The Southern Motorhome & Campervan Show 2026

t’s one of the biggest and best-loved weekends in the Warners calendar, combining four nights of live 60s music, a huge outdoor exhibition, and hundreds of campervans and motorhomes for sale. Whether you’re camping for the full experience or dropping in for the day, you can expect great music, great company, and endless inspiration for your next adventure.

A Weekend Full of Nostalgia and Adventure

There’s something special about the atmosphere at The Southern Show. As soon as you arrive at Newbury Showground, you’re surrounded by colour, laughter and the sound of classic hits filling the air.

This show celebrates everything we love about outdoor living — music, community, and of course, motorhomes. Over the weekend, you can explore 400+ new and used vehicles from 45 trusted dealers, browse 200+ exhibitors selling camping gear, gadgets and accessories, and enjoy a packed line-up of entertainment that runs from morning to night.

Love a bit of friendly competition? You’ll also find extra activities like archery, axe throwing, and target paintball — perfect for adding a little adventure to your weekend.

And if you fancy a change of scenery, there’s even a coach trip to Oxford on Friday and a shuttle bus to Newbury town centre on Saturday.

The Soundtrack to Your Weekend

At its heart, The Southern Show is a celebration of the sixties — and the live music is legendary. Campers enjoy four nights of entertainment, with this year’s line-up including:

🎵 Thursday: The 60s Explosion Band | Platinum Diamond
🎵 Friday: The Fourmost | Vanity Fare
🎵 Saturday Headliners: The Dr Hook Experience | The Foundations | Union Gap
🎵 Sunday: Edison Lighthouse | The Decades Show That Rocks

You can dance, sing along, or simply soak up the nostalgia with friends old and new. It’s a true festival atmosphere, complete with optional EHU, a headline Saturday night show, and plenty of opportunities to kick back and enjoy the music.

The Community Spirit of The Southern Show

Like all the best events in the campervan world, The Southern Motorhome & Campervan Show is about more than just the exhibits — it’s about people. From the moment you set up your pitch, you’re part of a community of like-minded adventurers who love the same things you do: freedom, fun, and the open road.

Whether you’re discovering your first van, upgrading your current setup, or just enjoying a nostalgic weekend away, this show captures everything that makes the motorhome lifestyle so special.
