I'm trying to decide whether to enter this show or not, its a pretty long way for me tbh but thought it may be a lovely show to visit after a friend went last year.
The only thing i'm concerned about is the travelling time there and back from the south-east and the fact i don't know anyone round here who is going.

If anyone who is willing to life share from the south-east, i have 1 male who will be going i would be interested to hear from you if you're interested in lift sharing.

My other thought is do they have an unentered dog tent there as well? As if i go on my own i may think about taking the little one with me and then possibly staying overnight in a motel/hotel somewhere the night before.

Suejaw you have no idea what a long journey is if you think its far from yours to Paignton!!!!! :) :) ;)  I am still having arguement with myself whether to enter Paignton because it IS a long journey from Ayrshire to there!!!  I always laugh if I overhear conversations about how far most English people travel to get to a show, they had to get up at 5 o'clock!!!  Imagine that!!!  I would love that luxury, anything under 3 or 4 hours driving is considered reasonably local to us :)

we went to paignton for the first time last year from london and found it was too long a drive in one day for us,we were exhausted at the end of the day and decided it was too far to do in one day again.same applies for shows north, we do as far as stafford in one day but further, like darlington is too much.hope this helps,roy.p.s is "life sharing" like time share?

Hi Sue, Paington is a great show, very friendly and I love it, it's my local! It is held at West piont just outside Exeter so not as far as Paington. I shall be going but no good for a car share but may be able to find you a bed for the night  local and we could travel together it's an hour from my house....And it's Shabby's debut at Paington!!! I will be taking Her and Merot.
PM me if you like

Abraham if it only took you just over 3hrs i may well consider it, won't ask what speed you drove down there.. Lol.
