Ray Mears and Matt Baker among the celebrities appearing at NEC camping show

Bushcraft specialist Ray Mears and TV presenter Matt Baker are among the celebrities lined up to take part in one of the UK’s biggest camping shows.

Wilderness expert Mears will be speaking about his passion for the outdoors at the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show 2015.

He will also be taking part in a question and answer session during the event at the NEC in Birmingham.

One Show and Countryfile presenter Matt Baker will attend on the opening day, hosting activities on the Caravan Club stand.

Olympic champion Sally Gunnell is also appearing at the Experts’ Theatre, before going on to take part in the Dog Agility feature with her pet pooch, Diggy. And throughout the event, professional surfer Melodie King, from Cornwall, will be appearing in the Expert’s Theatre.

The show, which features more than 350 exhibitors, takes place during half-term week of 17-22 February, with advance tickets starting at £7.

As well as hundreds of new camping, caravanning and motorhome products, the show also features the Learning Zone, cookery demonstrations, an onsite campsite and many free activities including an ‘outdoor-style’ fashion show for kids and adults.

Andrew Whalley, managing director of organisers NCC Events, said: “It’s fantastic to have such well-known personalities coming to our show and I am sure they will be a hit with visitors of every age. All of them have a passion for the outdoors and visitors to our event will see how a caravan, motorhome or tent can be the enabler to getting outside as a family, enjoying quality time together and being active.”
