Pro tip: book early. You’ll save money and skip long queues.

Opening Hours

The show runs daily from 10:00 to 18:00. If you aim to avoid crowds, the earliest hour tends to be most relaxed. Late afternoons, especially on weekends, get busy.

How to Get There

• By train: Birmingham International station is directly connected to the NEC via a covered walkway.
• By car: Park at the NEC (parking is included with the ticket). Marshals help guide you to the right lots.
• EV charging: The NEC site and nearby infrastructure offer charging points.

If you’re really committed, there’s an onsite campsite run by the Caravan & Motorhome Club, in car parks 10 & 10a. It opens Monday 13 October and runs until 20 October.

What to See: Exhibits, Highlights & Experiences

• Motorhomes, Caravans & Campervans

This is the heart of the show. Manufacturers will showcase their 2026 models, along with popular favourites. Brands like Adria, Auto-Sleepers, Bailey, Swift, Hymer, and many more will have stands. You can physically step inside models, compare layouts, check build quality, and inspect specs side by side.

• Rental Motorhomes & Motorhome Hire Services

Looking to try before you buy? Hire or rental companies will likely have booths here to showcase their fleets. You might even score show-only offers or deals for rentals in 2026. Motorhomes hire services are a smart way to try out a brand or model before committing.

• Luxury Holiday Homes & High-End Options

Some high-end motorhomes effectively become luxury holiday homes UK on wheels. Expect to see feature-loaded A-classes, top-tier interiors, full kitchens, slide-outs, high-end upholstery, and clever tech integrations. If you’ve ever thought, “What if my holiday home could move?”, this is your moment.

• Accessories, Upgrades & Add-Ons

One entire hall or section will likely be dedicated to accessories—awnings, solar kits, battery systems, security, furniture, and more. These are the incremental pieces that turn a good van into a great one.

• Inspiration Theatre & Guest Talks

Don’t miss the guest speakers, expert panels, and shows. Expect talks from travel bloggers, touring pros, and even big names like Ben Fogle and Susan Calman. Add to that free driving and towing experiences and manoeuvring sessions for motorhomes and caravans. Great for first-timers. 

How to Make It a Smart Visit: Tips & Strategy

• Book driving/towing experiences early, as slots go fast.
• Go for accessories first; some bargains disappear by afternoon.
• Wear comfortable shoes; you’ll be walking across multiple halls.
• Download the show map & mark your must-see brands before arriving.
• Take photos and notes (model, layout, specs, prices) so you can compare later.
• Bring essentials like a phone charger, a tape measure, notebooks, a bottle of water, and snacks.
• Get your hand stamped when you exit. You can re-enter the same day without another full ticket.
