UK mobile home and open-air tourism industries prepare for major trade shows

The mobile home and open-air tourism industry in the UK is preparing for several major trade events set to take place in September that will offer great opportunities for networking and exploring new product lines from major brands.

From 9 to 11 September, four brands that are members of the Hull and East Riding Caravan Manufacturers Association (HERCMA) will be opening their doors to trade visitors to allow exclusive previews of 2026 model ranges. The brands and locations are as follows: ABI (Beverley), Carnaby (The Holiday Home Centre, Beeford), Swift Group (Cottingham), and Willerby (Hull).

The HERCMA 2026 Model Showcase, as it is being called, makes up for the cancellation earlier this year of the Great Motorhome, Caravan & Holiday Home Show, which usually takes place in Harrogate.

Trade tickets for this event are free but are limited; interested parties can apply here.

On the same days of 9 to 11 September, this region of England will also host the Hull and East Yorkshire Caravan Trade Show at Cottingham Parks Golf and Leisure Club.

Confirmed exhibitors for this event include Beverley Leisure Homes, Delta, Europa Caravans, Love Holiday Homes, Lissett Homes, Pemberton Park and Leisure Homes, Sunseeker Holiday Homes, and many other suppliers to the park and leisure home industry.

Entry to this show is free, and no registration is required.

Then, from 18 to 20 September, the National Agricultural Exhibition Centre in Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, will host The Glamping Show.

This is one of the UK’s leading trade events dedicated to luxury outdoor accommodation and glamping solutions, and as well as hosting a wide variety of manufacturers and brands, it will also have a full schedule of seminars with important key speakers.

Tickets for this event are also free for trade visitors; you just need to register here.
