With tickets already on sale, the organisers of the national Motorhome & Caravan Show are now beginning to confirm the star-studded line-up appearing at Birmingham’s NEC in October.

First on the menu are television celebrities Paul Hollywood and Matt Dawson, who are set to give culinary demonstrations at the Cookery Theatre.

Paul shot to prominence on the recent show The Great British Bake Off after making his name as one of the country’s most talented bakers. He will be showing caravanners how they can still enjoy the ancient craft when on a touring holiday when making an appearance on Wednesday October 17th.

Matt Dawson, meanwhile, will be bringing his trademark banter and recently-discovered culinary skills to the show on Saturday October 20th.

The former England scrum-half-turned-TV-chef is bound to be a hit at the show after using his stint on Celebrity MasterChef as a springboard to release his own cook book and record two television series.

In a statement announcing the two latest recruits, the National Caravan Council promised that visitors to this year’s show would be thrilled by what is on offer.

“This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than before, occupying eleven halls (over 80,000 sq m) and uniting more than 400 exhibitors, including campsites, destinations, attractions, leisure suppliers and service providers,” it said.

The 2012 Motorhome & Caravan Show will runs from October 16th-21st.
