The Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show, returns to the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham from 22 – 27 February 2022, kicking off the season with the largest showcase for the UK leisure vehicle industry.
The event is supported by the major UK and European leisure vehicle manufacturers including Adria Caravans & Motorhomes, Auto-Sleepers Group, Auto-Trail, Bailey of Bristol, Carthago, Chausson, Coachman Caravans, Elddis, Erwin Hymer Group UK, Knaus, Rapido, Rimor, Roller Team and the Swift Group. It brings together over 350 exhibitor stands showcasing the latest campervans, motorhomes, touring caravans, holiday caravans, luxury lodges, tents and accessories, across five halls of the NEC.
The show offers the first opportunity for visitors to step inside and compare the newly launched 2022 models in one place, meet the leading manufacturers and dealers face-to-face, and order their new vehicle for the seasons ahead.
NCC Events Chairman, Anthony Trevelyan said: “The past 18 months has seen an extraordinary increase in interest and demand for leisure vehicles. The motorhome and campervan market grew 39% during the period of June 2020 – July 2021 as consumers appreciated the benefits of “staycationing” in these versatile and COVID safe, holiday ‘bubbles’. The show will satisfy the practical needs of these new entrants as well as those already enjoying the benefits of the lifestyle.”
The growth of the market will be reflected at the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show with over 50% more campervan models on display by manufacturers including Bilbos, CMC Reimo, Danbury, Dreamer, Elddis, Hillside Leisure, I H Motorhomes, Malibu, Murvi, Swift, Vantage Motorhomes, Westfalia Mobil and Wildax. All vehicles on display will be compliant with the UK Type Approval requirements.
Impartial advice from experts for existing owners and those interested in buying into the touring lifestyle will be on offer along with talks and presentations from organisations and
enthusiasts across outdoor leisure to inspire visitors about places to go and activities to enjoy while on their touring adventures.
As well as experiencing the biggest range of leisure vehicles anywhere in the country, visitors will be able to research and book their 2022 holidays from a superb choice of campsites and holiday parks, buy essential accessories, and find a fantastic range of family and adventure tents – all pitched-up and ready to explore.
Free caravan towing courses, motorhome manoeuvring lessons and campervan test drives provided by leading member organisations, the Camping & Caravanning Club and the Caravan & Motorhome Club, will be available for visitors (over 25 with a driver’s licence) to get a feel for the different types of leisure vehicle available, brush-up on their driving/towing skills and build confidence behind the wheel.
Anthony Trevelyan continues: “We can’t wait to welcome those who love the freedom and adventure of caravan, camping, motorhome and holiday caravan holidays back to the NEC in February and extend a particularly warm welcome to those new to the touring lifestyle joining us for the first time. Nothing beats live events and we’re excited to offer visitors the opportunity to get inside and compare the different layouts, fittings and innovations from the best in the industry so that they can make an informed buying decision. The show will also be jam-packed with insight, talks and training for beginners and experienced leisure vehicle owners alike.”
