Despite months of unprecedented wet and windy weather, The Caravan & Camping Show (18th – 23rd February, NEC Birmingham) succeeded in attracting a record attendance of 84,205 visitors; an increase on the previous year’s attendance (83,854).
As the UK’s biggest start-of-season showcase, expectations for quality visitors and good sales were high and exhibiting companies did not leave disappointed.
The six-day Show is organised by NCC Events,the exhibitions arm of the NCC, and caters for newcomers to caravanning, motorhoming and camping, as well as existing enthusiasts looking to purchase new models, leisure accessories and to research new holiday destinations, attractions and service providers.
The Show also offers a comprehensive display of holiday homes and lodges marking the start of the holiday park season. The industry’s major manufacturers all supported and exhibited at the Show. Exhibitors included ABI, Omar, Prestige, Regal, Swift, Victory, and Willerby who all used it to display brand new mid-season launches as well as best-selling ranges.
The Caravan & Camping Show will return to the NEC from 17th – 22nd February 2015. NCC Events will now turn its attention to the industry’s National Show, The Motorhome & Caravan Show which returns to the NEC from 14th – 19th October 2014.
