From childhood camping trips to 50-mile hiking challenges in Scotland, Nathaniel is no stranger to outdoor adventure and testing the limits of camping gear.

The show reports a total 96,149 visitors entered 11 of the NEC Birmingham’s halls where over 350 exhibitors, including manufacturers, converters and accessory suppliers displayed around 1,000 leisure vehicles. Elsewhere, guests could also enjoy a lengthy schedule of free advice, entertainment, and appearances from celebrity guest speakers including Susan Calman and Ben Fogle; as well as taking part in interactive sessions about motorhome manoeuvring and caravan towing sessions.

Harvey Alexander, Director of Marketing and Membership Services for the Caravan and Motorhome Club, said,

"The Motorhome & Caravan Show at the NEC this October, organised by NCC Events, was once again a fantastic event.  It was a real pleasure to reconnect with industry colleagues and engage with our Club members and show visitors.”

The show's record attendance figures resulted in successful appearances for a number of the industry’s leading manufacturers and brands. Nick Page, Commercial Director of Swift, spoke about the positive tone the show has set for the year ahead,

“We’re absolutely delighted with the response to this year’s show; it’s been fantastic to see such strong enthusiasm for our 2026 ranges. This year we showcased the stunning Morlaix Lodge, which redefines luxury living, our adventurous new Trekker motorhome that’s built for exploration, and we’re incredibly proud that our Challenger range has been recognised with two prestigious awards.”

“We are delighted with the overall sales performance for Coachman products at the Motorhome & Caravan Show which exceeded our expectations. We saw a 12% increase in our caravan sales with our Laser and Lusso model ranges accounting for over 50% of the overall orders placed. Our motorhome portfolio continues to expand and increase in popularity. With a more prominent position in Hall 9 we enjoyed a staggering increase of 83% when compared with 2024.”

Scott Stephens, Commercial Director for Auto-Trail, gave thanks to the NCC for providing a premier platform to explore the latest motorhome innovations,

The positive reception to our latest ranges, featuring innovative design updates and enhanced comfort, was truly inspiring. We extend our sincere thanks to the NCC for organising yet another exceptional NEC Show, providing a premier platform for manufacturers and customers to explore the latest motorhome innovations.”

The NCC shows return to the NEC in 2026 for two different events. Firstly the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show takes place on 17 – 22 February. The Motorhome & Caravan Show returns on 13 – 18 October.
