Not only can you have a browse around the 1000 (PLUS) Caravans, Motorhomes and Van Conversions on show, but you can also explore quality Awnings, Porches, Accessories, Gadgets & More! Amazing right? I suggest getting your tickets booked now before you miss out!

 

With just over a month to go to the NEC Caravan Show (18th – 23rd October), and being avid NEC visitors ourselves, we’ve decided to let you into our top tips for making the most of your NEC trip.

 

Firstly we suggest wearing comfortable shoes. You won’t quite get over how big this place is! If you’re aiming to get your steps in you’re in the right place, but don’t think you’ll be hitting just over 7,000! With the number of different attractions and the sheer size of the NEC showroom, you can easily spend all day looking around and spending your money. Therefore, to make sure you make the most out of your visit, and end up leaving without blisters, make sure you pack those trainers. If your feet are happy, you’re happy!

 

Plan ahead. Considering how many different retailers and stalls come together for the NEC each year, planning your time ahead of your trip will save you not just time, but also money. Have a look at the different retailers that are selling and think about what essentials you need for your caravan or motorhome.

 

How about bringing a packed lunch? Even though there is food available throughout the NEC, it can be pricey. Therefore, we suggest bringing your own packed lunch, drinks and snacks to keep you going throughout your extensive day of browsing and shopping! Don’t feel afraid either to pitch up and fill up, full shoppers make happy shoppers!

 

Also, enjoy it, it’s not often all of the best retailers (and customers) in the leisure industry are all in one room for a whole 6 days! Take your time, look around all the stalls you want to. Ask all the relevant questions about the products you are buying and enjoy looking around at all the other amazing and ‘quirky’ things which the NEC has to offer.

 

Overall, just have the best time possible. And, we can’t wait to see you all there. The countdown is on!
