Industry News: Caravan Shows, Celebrity Investments & 2025 Events
As we head into another exciting year for the static caravan, lodge and holiday home sector, there’s been plenty of movement across the industry—from cancelled events to celebrity investments and a look ahead to what’s coming in 2025. Here’s a round-up of the latest news shaping the world of park homes and leisure living.
Harrogate Show Cancelled for 2025
In a surprise announcement, the Great Caravan, Motorhome & Holiday Caravan Show in Harrogate has officially
been cancelled. The event, originally scheduled to be held at the Yorkshire Event Centre, was a key date in the leisure industry calendar. Organisers cited a strategic review of future events and changing industry priorities as the main reasons behind the decision. It’s a real disappointment for those who saw the Harrogate show as a valuable pre-season showcase for the latest models and innovations in holiday home living. Many in the sector will be watching closely to see how the National Caravan Council (NCC) plans to reshape its event offerings in future.
LOOKING AHEAD: WORLD OF PARK & LEISURE HOMES SHOW 2025
Meanwhile, all eyes are turning to 2025, with the return of The World of Park & Leisure Homes Show at NAEC Stoneleigh. Set to be one of the biggest showcases of park homes, lodges and holiday living solutions in the country, the event promises a wide range of exhibitors, seminars, and the latest models on display.
