GetOutWiththeKids round-up from the NEC February show: Caravan, Camping & Motorhome show 2016
Pick a weekend, any weekend, and there's bound to be an event of interest on the calendar..
Sports, culture, arts, food, music... Traction Engine rallies, Country Fairs, sporting events...there are all kinds of social highlights you can visit with your tent, caravan or motorhome.
From September, the kids are heading back to school and it’s often a time that campsites revert to a more tranquil state. That’s not to say there’s still not plenty going on.
*One event definitely taking place during the school summer break is National Parks Week (www.nationalparks.gov.uk/visiting), July 27 – August 2. But, you can visit any of them any time you want, of course.
*Hull Freedom Festival (www.freedomfestival.co.uk). Hull is the UK home of caravan manufacturing, after all. The Festival takes place at the start of September.
*Or how about the Narberth Food Festival (www.narberthfoodfestival.com) in Pembrokeshire, September 26-27?
*The Caravan Club National Rally and Camping and Caravanning Club National Feast of Lanterns events... both clubs also host local rallies throughout the year, but these are their annual highlights.
Don’t forget to make a date for the highlight of them all – the Motorhome and Caravan Show at Birmingham’s NEC, every October and the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show at the NEC in February.
