Bangalow is a small town just inland from Byron Bay & just off the Pacific Highway. It has the best Showground on the NSW North Coast as it’s right in the middle of the town with its beautiful main street & Federation style shops selling gorgeous but expensive boutique stuff.
Walk out the Showground’s side entrance on Station St & there are several antique shops & furniture restoration business. Get in the car & drive 15-20 minutes & you’ll be in Byron Bay with all its attractions such as the Lighthouse, beautiful beaches such as Broken Head etc etc.

The Showground is available for Groups for $20/night/van. For our Vintage Van Forum group, the only available dates are the last weekend in October or first weekend in December. The general agreement from people at other events has been that December is too hot and busy.
So it’s all booked for the last weekend in October, Friday 30 Oct, Saturday 31 Oct, Sunday 1 Nov.
Now here’s the fine print!
We will have the Showground to ourselves. There are large grassy areas next to toilets/showers that caretaker has given us for our vans. There are plenty of power outlets, so no dramas with numbers of vans. Of course no fires as this is a VERY upmarket Showground.
If you want to come, PM or email or text or Post in this thread. Please DON’T phone the Showground. I will keep a tally on this thread of numbers of people wanting to come & I will give the caretaker a list of names so you can all go up to her house (next to where we are camping) & you can pay her when you’re there. I won’t be collecting money but I will need numbers a week before event. Please don’t turn up without any notice.
Enter the Showground via Market St which is off Bangalow Rd.
Friday night organize your own/shared food or whatever!
Saturday night is booked for a night out at the Bangalow Hotel with live music & bistro/restaurant. It’s only 5 mins walk from the Showground to the Pub. I’ve booked a block of tables in the beergarden. You can eat off the bistro or restaurant menu, it’s up to you! Of course if you want to abstain that’s fine too. It’s Halloween so if you want to wear blood soaked costumes, black lipstick/nails etc etc, post on here & we’ll see whether anyone if interested! The Bangalow Hotel booking person suggested it would be fun to celebrate Halloween. Let us know if you want to go the pub on Saturday night.

Menus are under 'menu' funnily enough!
So far most people interested in this event like that it isn’t a public display of vans, but is just an opportunity to sit & chat with other like-minded vintage vanners with little to no organizing.
