The 2025 edition of the UK’s Motorhome and Caravan Show has been hailed as an ‘incredible success’ by organisers after attracting an attendance of 96,149 visitors over its six-day duration, which is 0.9 per cent more than in 2024.

More than 350 exhibitors filled the halls at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, showcasing around 1,000 leisure vehicles to industry and consumer visitors.

“We’re overjoyed by the incredible success of the Motorhome & Caravan Show,” said Karen Dodd, Marketing Director of show organiser NCC Events.

“It’s wonderful to see so many visitors embracing the leisure vehicle lifestyle, and we’re grateful to everyone who travelled from across the country to be part of it. A huge thank you to all our exhibitors, partners and sponsors for helping make this year’s show such a standout success. The presentation of new vehicles and products was fantastic. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the NEC in February for the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show 2026.”

The show was satisfying not only for the organisers, many exhibitors claimed to have successful shows, with some achieving impressive sales.

Ben Parkin, Sales Director of Coachman Caravan Company, said: “We are delighted with the overall sales performance for Coachman products at the Motorhome and Caravan Show, which exceeded our expectations. We saw a 12 per cent increase in our caravan sales, with our Laser and Lusso model ranges accounting for over 50 per cent 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 per cent when compared with 2024.”

Nick Page, Commercial Director of Swift Group, added: “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. The Motorhome & Caravan Show at the NEC is always a highlight for us; it allows us to celebrate what makes Swift special, bring together our dealership network and supplier partners to showcase the best of British manufacturing and demonstrate how we’re driving the industry forward. The incredible feedback we’ve received this week sets a really positive tone for the year ahead.”

Bailey of Bristol Head of Marketing, Cristina Dorador, said: “We were delighted with the level of enthusiasm from visitors throughout the week, including both first-time buyers discovering our brand and loyal customers returning to upgrade their leisure vehicles. Motorhome and campervan sales were especially strong, reflecting the strength of our product line-up and the growing appetite for touring freedom and adventure.”

Next year’s edition of the show will take place at the NEC from 13 to 18 October 2026, while the other show organised by NCC Events, the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show, will take place there from 17to 22 February 2026.
