January – Caravan and Motorhome Show 2020 EventCity Manchester
16th-18th January 2020

Kicking off the year with a bang is the Caravan and Motorhome Show at EventCity in Manchester. It is one of the biggest shows of the year offering a large choice of caravans, motorhomes and holiday homes along with offering some of the best show only offers and discounts.

The show offers a wide range of attractions including tow car taster sessions, free motorhome manoeuvring and not to mention over 200 different exhibitors with the latest models and accessories. Along with this you can expect to find experts throughout the show who will deliver a range of inspiring talks and advice on camping and travelling.

For anyone who attended the show last year you may have taken part in “The Towing Experience”. Well you will be happy to hear The Camping and Caravan Club have teamed up with Lookers Volvo Stockport to ensure this brilliant incentive is back again. You will get the chance to take part in a free 15 minute one to one towing tuition session on how to tow a touring caravan safety, efficiently and economically. You must be 25 or over to take part, and don’t forget to bring along your driving licence and national insurance number for the appropriate checks!

And if you thought it couldn’t get much better than that – it does! As a visitor to the show you will also receive complimentary entry to Destinations: The Holiday & Travel Show which runs in Hall 4 of EventCity! It is the perfect place to explore and help you book your next getaway in the sun!

Tickets for this show are currently only £8.50 for a Standard Adult with children under 16 going free. EventCity are also offering a “Rohan Ticket Bundle” for £26 which includes two adult admission tickets and one Rohan Global T garment which usually sells for £30. We think this is great value for money so secure your tickets now for the best possible price!

February – The Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show 2020 NEC Birmingham
18th-23rd February 2020

Moving onto February with another massive show of course must be The Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show at the NEC Birmingham. This show is the UK’s biggest showcase of everything campervans, caravans, caravan holiday homes and lodges related.

Once again, this show has all the latest models on display along with the usual special guests and expert advice. Like EventCity this show also includes attractions such as the free towing experience and motorhome manoeuvring and free campervan test drive. Again, this will require a driving license so don’t forget to bring it along!

So far you may be wondering what the NEC show has to offer that the EventCity show doesn’t. Well let us give you an insight. The NCC TowCheck stand will be offering free checks to see if your car is capable of towing a specific caravan. You will also receive advice on driving license requirements as well as general towing information!

The NEC show have created a “Camping Zone” where you can see all the latest tents set up, along with having experts on hand for any advice - you can even climb in and give them a go! Along with this there is also the Holiday Park Experience, whereby you get the chance to experience what a holiday park can offer for the whole family. And the best bit is still to come... there is a climbing and bouldering wall situated within the holiday park for all to try!

A final plus to this show is the Top Dog Arena which will be packed with pooch talent every day! You can expect to see agility, assistance and dancing from all the dogs and even be in with the chance of seeing a Crufts winner or two!

Tickets are currently £8 per adult and £7 per senior (60+) again with children 15 years and under going free. There is a chance these tickets may increase, so getting booked while you can and ensure you don’t miss out on the show of the year!

The end of the year tends to be quiet on the show front as everyone is in Christmas mode! However, we have found a show that may be of interest to any campers out there!

This show has over 400 exhibitors which you can browse some of the current and new products and services they offer. Along with this there will be several live demos and a range of expert speakers to give you the advice you need.

Ticket price information currently isn’t available, however there is also a chance of free tickets so make sure you keep checking their website for more information!

Now I know we promised a show for every month however after lots of research unfortunately we couldn’t find one for December. We guess December is all about getting in the Christmas spirit and preparing for 2021’s exciting new shows!

We hope this guide can help you organise your diary for 2020 and ensure you don’t miss out on any of the exciting caravan shows this year has to offer! All that’s left to say from us is happy camping!
