THE place to see the latest and best that the British caravan industry has to offer.

Lawns

The first show, at The Lawns in Cottingham, near Hull, generally features more than 120 new touring caravans and about 160 caravan holiday-homes, lodges and park homes from most of the major British manufacturers.

The annual Caravan Extravaganza gives enthusiasts from all over the UK their first opportunity to see the new season’s models. A massive accessory shop is set up within The Lawns Centre; there is a small funfair for children, hamburger and other food stalls, including ice-creams, and all sorts of other entertainments to make this a fun day out for the family.

  

Beaulieu

The second HERCMA event, on the Beaulieu estate in the New Forest, Hampshire, takes place two weeks after The Lawns. This is the main caravan holiday-home show for the south of England and features many of the “static” models already seen at The Lawns – well over 100, including holiday lodges and park homes – but no touring caravans or motor caravans are displayed.

Some of the firms which exhibit at The Lawns book space at Beaulieu too, along with others, and each year there are plenty of new items to see. This show will open as Holiday Caravan and Park Home 2012 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, giving visitors three days to peruse the models and also a chance to see the various other attractions that Beaulieu has to offer – a separate admission charge applies – such as the National Motor Museum, the old Beaulieu Abbey, and Palace House, home of Lord Montagu and his family.
