Famous faces to attend ‘New to Camping’ caravan event

Camping and Caravanning Club president, David Bellamy

Two famous faces will be the guests of honour at a forthcoming caravan event, it has been revealed.

According to the Camping and Caravanning Club, TV presenter Julia Bradbury and botanist David Bellamy will be attending New to Camping.

The event is to be held at Warwick Castle on Wednesday and Thursday (June 2nd & 3rd) next week.

Mr Bellamy, who is also president of the club, will lead nature walks around the castle grounds, while both celebrities will be available for questions, autographs and photographs.

The walks will give the botanist a chance to explore the wildlife of Warwick Castle and allow him to remind visitors how caravanning can get them closer to nature and the “wonders of the countryside”.

“Warwick Castle is a fantastic venue to bring new and experienced campers together to encourage them to enjoy the freedom of the outdoors with the Camping and Caravanning Club,” Ms Bradbury said.

She added that she was “honoured” to be asked to return to the event after its success in 2009.

Meanwhile, the Camping and Caravan Club has revealed that the recent hot weather has resulted in a rise in campsite bookings for this weekend.
