Caravan owners are to be offered taster courses in manoeuvring their trailers at the upcoming NEC Boat and Caravan Show, it has been announced.

Due to take place in the last week of February, the annual event will once again see thousands of caravanning enthusiasts head to Birmingham to view the latest models and learn of the latest tourist hotspots, both in the UK and overseas.

What's more, it has now been confirmed that the Caravan Club will be offering informal classes on manoeuvring caravans for the duration of the week.

However, the club has stated that, as well as only being available to its members, the taster courses will only be offered to caravanners able to produce a valid driving licence on the day.

Further information and other pointers regarding best practice when it comes to towing a caravan of any size will be available at the Caravan Club's stand at the NEC event.

This year's Boat and Caravan Show will also feature a canoe and kayak pool, a climbing wall and a mini marina, while visitors will be given the chance to try their arm at a number of new pursuits, including scuba diving.
