Katy Hill to speak on importance of spending good family time together at show

TV and Radio presenter Katy Hill will appear at the Caravan & Motorhome Show, held at Manchester’s Event City from tomorrow (21 January) to 24 January, to promote glamping in the UK with Ready Camp.

Katy will take part in a Q&A session on Saturday 23 January at 2.30pm on the show’s Get Back to Nature stage. The stage is sponsored by Ready Camp, the glamping provider launched by The Camping and Caravanning Club in February 2015.

On each day of the show, the Get Back to Nature stage will host a series of talks with figures from the world of nature and TV, including presenter and marine adventurer Monty Halls, plus a falconry experience from Knutsford-based Gauntlet Birds of Prey.           

Katy said: “I’m delighted to speak at the show about the importance of getting kids camping, and the value of spending time together as a family.

“Glamping makes the prospect of an escape in a tent, away from home comforts such as your own bed, a little less daunting. There’s no need to pack your life into the boot for a few days away – the tent is pitched and ready for you, so you can concentrate on having fun!”

The Club’s Ready Camp network of glamping tents has expanded in 2016 to include more sites, in new areas of Britain. There are now 29 Ready Camp sites hosting 101 glamping tents, close to many of Britain’s best-loved tourist spots.

Each offers comfortable and hassle-free camping to people keen to camp without having to hitch up a caravan or pitch their own tent – all you need to bring is your own bedding, towels and a sense of adventure.

Washroom facilities are available on all Camping and Caravanning Club Sites, where holidaymakers are guaranteed immaculate facilities.

Bob Hill, the Camping and Caravanning Club‘s sites director said, “Ready Camp has surpassed all expectations in 2015 and it’s a great fit to sponsor the Get Back to Nature stage at the Caravan & Motorhome show. 

“Katy is clearly passionate about getting her young family to explore nature and Ready Camp is helping more and more families to do this easily and affordably.”

In a recent customer survey, Ready Camp proved to be popular for both new and seasoned campers. 94.1 per cent of respondents said that they would use Ready Camp again, with more than half of all Ready Camp bookings since launch made by non-members of The Camping and Caravanning Club.
