Caravan Camping & Motorhome Show 2026
What a show! Thank you to all who visited us at the Caravan Camping & Motorhome Show this year and helped out on our stand.
This was without doubt one of the busiest shows for several years, proving that there’s not only plenty of enthusiasm for touring and camping, but also for our adult-only parks.
“It was an absolute whirlwind of an event” said Hwyel from South Wales Touring Park, who organises our stand, adding that there was an incredible level of interest from potential new visitors and those who have visited Tranquil Parks often.
According to the organisers, over 100,000 people visited the 6-day show which ran from 17 to 22 February 2026. That’s a 12% increase on the previous year!
Luckily, Hywel had arranged for a larger stand, no. 4030, and the extra space was needed. Our stand teams handed out over 3,750 brochures and received hundreds of entries for our special show draw. In fact, they had run out of both brochures and entry forms by the end of the show!
Thank you to our helpers
Special thanks to:
- Hywel from South Wales Touring Park for organising our stand,
- Mark from Daisy Bank Touring Caravan Park in Powys for helping to set up, and
- The team at Somers Wood Caravan Park, which is located just over 3 miles to the south east of the NEC in Meriden, for storing our exhibition stand and show equipment.
Volunteers from our member parks were on the stand to meet visitors, provide information about our network of sites and help people enter our Show Giveaway (see below), while also handing out brochures, fridge magnets and tote bags.
