Caravan shows for the next 6 months

Almost everyone who owns a caravan enjoys a good caravan show.

It is an ideal opportunity to get out and see some of the latest models and to exchange a little gossip with other owners. They’re also a great chance to see and tinker with some of the latest accessories and gadgets out there.

Finally, it’s amazing just how much you can learn at these shows. Even seasoned veteran caravan owners will often admit that they see and learn things that they didn’t previously know.

That’s why we are highlighting some of the bigger shows that are on the radar for the next six months. We hope you can get to at least one of them and that you enjoy yourself!

18th to 23rd October: The Motorhome and Caravan Show – NEC Birmingham

Just as you’ve begun to pack away the camping gear at the end of this year’s caravanning season, so the biggest show of them all kicks off at the NEC near Birmingham – where you’ll be among the lucky ones to get your first glimpse of all the new models and mountains of accessories for 2023.

If there’s one show you can’t afford to miss in the coming six months, the Motorhome and Caravan Show is it.

12th to 15th January 2023: Caravan, Motorhome, and Holiday Show – Manchester Central

If you’re based in the north of the country, this is likely to be one of the biggest attractions close to home.

Whether you’re interested in all the creature comforts of a big, 4-berth caravan or the latest innovations in the world of motorhomes. Or whether you’re after a more modest campervan or any kind of accessory from camping furniture to awnings, barbecues, or tents, the Caravan, Motorhome, and Holiday Show packs a powerful punch to open the New Year.

2nd to 5th February 2023: Scottish Caravan, Motorhome, and Holiday Show – SEC Glasgow

North of the border, it’s also an early start to the year of caravan shows.

The premier exhibition is once again likely to be the Scottish Caravan, Motorhome, and Holiday Show organised by partners that include the two major caravanning organisations, the Caravan and Motorhome Club and the Camping and Caravanning Club.

See all the makes and models of the new season’s caravans, motorhomes, and holiday homes – all in the warmth and comfort under the roof of the SEC in Glasgow.

24th to 26th March 2023: Go Explore, Farnborough International

This is probably the biggest exhibition of its type you’ll find in the south of England for the start of the new season.

Just drive down to this northeast corner of Hampshire – or it’s only around 35-55 minutes or so on the train from London – where you’ll find free parking and free admission for the kids, all under the expansive cover of the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre.

Quick tips

All of these shows are hugely popular and that – practically by definition – can mean some traffic delays in the local area, particularly first thing in the mornings and “going home time” in the evenings.

So, if you can, get there early.

It’s also worth noting that ticket entry prices can be more expensive if you arrive and pay on the day than if you book in advance. There are plenty of entry ticket options and prices on the internet. So, with a little research, you might be able to save yourself some money.

Finally, the catering at many of these events is very good but at peak times, it’s naturally under some degree of pressure and delays aren’t unknown. If you can vary your eating times a little or perhaps take some sort of picnic with you, it might help you to spend more time looking at all those wonderful new caravans and accessories!
