The October NEC Motorhome & Caravan Show closed its doors for 2025 on a high. The UK’s largest national showcase for the leisure vehicle industry once again epitomised the enduring appeal of motorhomes, campervans and caravans attracting 96,149 visitors throughout the 6-day duration, that’s an increase of 0.9% on 2024.
Organised by NCC Events, the 13th edition of the Motorhome & Caravan Show brought together over 350 exhibitors across 11 halls of the NEC Birmingham, the equivalent to around 20 acres, underlining the show’s status as the largest and most prestigious event in the UK leisure vehicle calendar.
Some exhibitors have been quick to label this year’s edition as their ‘best ever Motorhome & Caravan Show’ with some achieving record-breaking sales at the show.
It was not just the public who flocked through the doors. The media showed strong interest too, leading to prime viewing on BBC Breakfast, BBC News at One and ITV This Morning. Not only did this shine a spotlight on some of the industry’s latest vehicles and product innovations; it also emphasised how caravanning and motorhoming continues to capture the hearts of many in Britain, while recognising the sector’s significance to the UK economy.
There was a packed programme of free advice and entertainment. Visitors were entertained by celebrity guest speakers including Susan Calman and Ben Fogle with Rowland Rivron as host on the popular Inspiration Stage sponsored by DF Capital. It was standing room only! The Expert Panel sessions proved to be very informative and always well-attended; as was the Motorhome Manoeuvring and Towing sessions operated by the Show’s campsite and travel partner, the Caravan and Motorhome Club and the Show’s tow car partner, Isuzu.
Around 1,000 new-for-2026 leisure vehicles were displayed at this year’s Show, with many exhibitors reporting strong sales transactions during the event, with others feeling inspired by the level of positive interest shown by visitors to the Show.
