Caravanners in the north-east have long been under-catered for in the show department, but a new event organised by Teesside Caravans is aiming to change all that this week.
The ‘You Can Caravan Show’ gets underway on Friday March 16th and aims to cater to both seasoned experts and newbies considering their first caravan holiday.
A free event, the show will be held at the Teesside Caravans complex in Thornaby, near Middlesbrough, and is designed to be a fun day out for the whole family.
As well as a range of demonstrations and workshops intended to give the novice an introduction to the wonderful world of caravanning, there will also be competitions and face painting to keep kids entertained.
Of course, the standard exhibitions of new caravans and exclusive discounts will be available throughout the event, with anyone buying a caravan having a tank of petrol thrown in with the price.
The new Bailey Retreat models will also be on show, giving anyone who still hasn’t set eyes on these luxury semi-permanent touring caravans a chance to have a peek inside.
General manager of Teesside Caravans, Lisa Pluves, said that the show aims to do away with the misguided preconceptions that surround caravan holidays.
“We hope to encourage people to come along with an open mind, speak to the manufacturers face to face, view the models on display and realise what they are missing,” she said.
The show runs until Monday March 18th.
