Caravan show’s name changed

The National Boat, Caravan and Outdoor Show is now known by an easier-to-remember name

Mobile home enthusiasts planning on attending The National Boat, Caravan & Outdoor Show in February may struggle to find information on the event.

This is because organisers Ocean Media have decided to change the brand name of the expo to The Boat & Caravan Show, according to a Boating Business report.

Due to take place in Birmingham’s NEC from February 23rd to 28th, the exhibition is now in its 49th year.

Around 80 per cent of the exhibition space has already been sold for the event – which Ocean Media claims to be the largest outdoor show in the UK.

Visitors will be able to browse information and products from tents to campsites to caravans.

Exhibitors from both the UK and abroad will be in attendance, meaning there is a diverse choice of displays for those buying tickets.

Ocean Media marketing director Karen Dodd told the online resource that the show’s name has been shortened by visitors and explained the company felt it should respond by re-launching the brand.

Meanwhile, the NEC is this week hosting the International Caravan and Motorhome Show.
