Visitors to the Boat and Caravan Show in Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre were welcomed by a host of celebrities on the first day at the show. Caravan Times was present to hear TV presenter and interior designer Linda Barker open the Caravan Club’s stand at the event, which began on Tuesday (February 23rd) and lasts until Sunday.

The former Changing Rooms star was on hand to greet the first to arrive at the show, while Watchdog and Countryfile presenter Julia Bradbury and TV chef James Martin also made appearances at the exhibition. Countryfile star Bradbury gave an inpromptu question-and-answer session on the Caravanning and Camping Club’s stand and was a hit with vistors.

As well as caravans and boats, the expo contains a full range of equipment for helping adventure lovers make the most of the outdoors.

Rangemaster is hosting a cookery theatre, where James Martin will be giving a display of outdoor cooking today (Thursday 25th).

The show features caravans from a range of manufacturers, which can be found in the Practical Caravan Hall. Among the brands on offer will be The Swift Group, Elddis, Lunar, Vanmaster and Eriba, while Bailey of Bristol unveil the Olympus to the public.
