The day has come. The Caravan & Motorhome Show 2015 has arrived. The doors have opened, and thousands of people will be stepping into EventCity over the next few days (15 – 18 January) to make the most of what 2015 has to offer by way of caravans and motorhomes.
If you haven’t booked your tickets yet and are pondering as to whether or not you should make your way down, hopefully our guide here will help point you in the right direction.
First up, the show is set to feature a who’s who in the leisure vehicle industry. From Adria to Airstream, Bailey to Burstner, Coachman to Compass and Elddis to Swift; we could go on – and we will.
Adria will be on hand to show off their latest Sportline, Altea, Adora and Astella ranges, whilst Bailey of Bristol are set to unveil their new entry-level Approach Advance motorhome range along with the rest of their 2015 ranges too.
Meanwhile, Coachman Caravans will be on hand with their new collection for 2015, including the Coachman Vision, VIP, Laser and Pastiche; secure your very own Coachman at the show and you could walk away with a Powrtouch Motor Mover absolutely free.
Elddis will also be on hand at EventCity to show off their latest arrival – the new Encore Luxe motorhome and you could even end up winning a brand new 2015 Compass Corona courtesy of approved dealers Spinney.
The Swift Group look set to show off their latest 2015 creations too – from caravans and motorhomes to their latest venture into holiday homes with a twist and the arrival for 2015 of the new S-Pod. The company will also be ready to answer any questions first time buyers have in a dedicated First Time Buyers Area.
It’s not all about caravans, motorhomes and new product launches though. There’s also so much more to see and do. All tickets holders will be given complimentary entry to The Times presents Destinations: The Holiday and Travel Show, which will be running in Hall Four at EventCity. So once you’ve browsed the latest caravans and motorhomes and planned your UK trips for the 2015 season, this will provide the perfect place to research and book your next escape to the sun and escape the winter blues.
For the foodies in you, the new for 2015 Food and Travel Stage should certainly be on your agenda. Bringing together celebrity chefs, expert cooks and TV’s best-known travel personalities you’ll learn to prepare and cook their favourite campside meals and out your culinary skills to the test.
The Caravan Club will also be on hand and will be offering you the opportunity to participate in one of their free Tow Car Taster or Motorhome Manoevering sessions to help you brush up on those all important skills. Open to both experienced caravanners and first timers, simply visit the Club’s stand to book your free 20 minute tow car taster session. Don’t forget to bring both parts of your driving licence.
Speaking of towing, The Camping and Caravanning Club has teamed up with Mitsubishi to offer free 15-minute one-to-one tuition on how to tow a touring caravan safely, efficiently and economically, so by the end of your day at EventCity if you’re not itching to hit the open road we’re not sure when you will be!
Last but not least, if exciting and innovative days out float your boat (or caravan) the Great Days Out showcase in association with Swift is sure to make you smile. Exciting tourist attractions from around the UK, including the likes of the National Football Museum, the World of Beatrix Potter, Lakeland Motor Museum and Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway will be on hand offering great discounts and more.
