Two celebrities have been confirmed to make appearances at the upcoming West Midlands Caravan & Motorhome Show.

Television presenter, author, nature advocate and charity campaigner Julia Bradbury and Shropshire celebrity chef Marcus Bean will be at the show on Saturday October 5th.

Ms Bradbury was formerly the president of the Camping and Caravan Club and despite stepping down from the role, maintains an interest in the industry.

She’ll be teaming up with Mr Bean to give cooking demonstrations using the latest equipment available from the Salop Leisure accessories shop.

Mr Bean released The Good Chicken Cookbook earlier this year, so visitors can expect this popular ingredient to feature in the recipes.

Ms Bradbury will be available to sign copies of her own book, Walk Yourself Happy, giving caravan enthusiasts a chance to meet her.

The free show is being hosted by award-winning caravan and motorhome dealership Salop Leisure at Emstrey from September 28th to October 6th.

New ranges and big discounts

More than 200 new and pre-owned leisure vehicles will be showcased at the event, featuring models from Swift, ABI, Atlas, Carnaby, Willerby and Coachman.

There’ll be a chance to make savings on the 2024 ranges and see the new 2025 touring caravans, motorhomes, holiday homes and luxury lodges for yourself.

You’ll also be offered a ten per cent  discount on all awnings and accessories purchased at the show, so it’s worth having a good look if you’re missing something for your caravan or motorhome.

Mike Harris, Salop Leisure’s joint managing director, said: “It’s a great family day out and a chance to check out all the smart ideas, innovations and fresh designs on display.”

Step back in time

As Swift celebrates 60 years of building caravans, there’s a chance for real aficionados to see some of the historic models for themselves.

These caravans will be on display alongside the 2025 models, demonstrating the evolution of design, equipment, furnishings and comfort over the years.

Fun for all the family

Attendees who sign up for free tickets before the show at www.salopleisure.co.uk will be entitled to a complementary ice cream from the Shropshire Ice Cream Caravan.

Family activities will include a children’s bouncy castle and fairground organ, while the highlight of the show for animal lovers is likely to be the dog competition on Sunday, October 6th.

There’ll also be representatives from many of the parks in the Holiday Home Village, who will be able to talk to you about the attractions near their destinations.
