Harrogate caravan, motorhome & holiday home show cancelled due to market challenges
The Caravan, Motorhome & Holiday Home Show, a major event for the leisure vehicle and caravan industry in the north of England, has been cancelled for 2025 due to "difficult market conditions," organisers have confirmed.
Financial challenges
The show, which was scheduled to take place in September, has been a key platform for manufacturers, dealers, and consumers to explore the latest in caravans, motorhomes, and holiday homes. However, economic pressures and financial challenges within the leisure sector have led organiser, HERCMA, to rethink their approach.
In a statement on social media, HERCMA announced that instead of the Harrogate event, a series of coordinated trade exhibitions will be held at member facilities in East Yorkshire from Tuesday, 9 September, to Thursday, 11 September, 2025.
"HERCMA is very proud of the contribution that it has made to our industry over many years, and it is important that we continue to evolve to ensure that we meet the changing needs of the industry, for parks, dealers, manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers alike. The shows over the last two years, since moving to a new home in Harrogate, have welcomed over 36,000 trade and public through the gates for us to showcase what our industry has to offer. In addition to that we have raised £140,000 for important Yorkshire charities (the Yorkshire Children’s Charity and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance) through these events. However, it has become apparent that the current economic climate in which we operate has made the implications of putting on or exhibiting at the show too financially challenging to be able to go ahead this year."
