Testimonials
What you say about the show...
'Fantastic weekend'
We really enjoyed it, great entertainment, staff were fantastic and your security guy in the main hall, when i asked him about the way people were queuing for drinks blocking people's view of the stage, moved the queue so it wasn't in anyone's way, made the evenings so much better for so many people, looking forward to coming to many more, thank you 🤩
'Wonderful weekend'
Wonderful weekend at the show, the gorgeous weather also helped. Big thank you to all the support staff, they do a great job.
'First time there'
We just got home after pur first time there... fantastic weekend, thanks guys
'The shows are always great value for visitors'
I love being a part of the advice centre at The Warners Shows. The subjects are always being reviewed to make them relevant and in recent years, they have really pushed the envelope in terms of bringing the experiences and knowledge of real people living the motorhoming lifestyle to the forefront but at the same time, maintaining the integrity of the advice centre to deliver genuine and correct information. The shows are always great value for visitors too; 4 nights of camping and entertainment, free talks, lots of trade stands to see and all for around £100. The value is unrivalled
'Fantastic opportunity to meet new friends and reunite with old friends'
The Warners Shows are a fantastic opportunity to meet new friends and reunite with old friends for a weekend full of fun. We love the theme aspect to these weekends and the live music entertainment is a great bonus too. We have learned a lot from the informative talks that are held over the weekend, from taking our motorhome to Europe to learning about new destinations we can travel to. The shopping area is great for picking up any new items you need and we always end up checking out the vans that are for sale as well. A Warners Show is always a great weekend!
