Exciting news! The Kimberley team is heading to the NEC Birmingham for the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show from 17th to 22nd February 2026, and we'd absolutely love to see you there.
If you've been thinking about upgrading your caravan or motorhome, or you're just starting your touring adventure, this is THE event to visit. Trust us, it's brilliant.
The February NEC show is genuinely massive. We're talking about the UK's largest start-of-year showcase for caravans, motorhomes, and campervans, spanning nearly 20 acres under one roof at the NEC Birmingham. This year, over 420 exhibitors are bringing more than 700 leisure vehicles to show off, including all the latest 2026 models from the biggest manufacturers in the industry.
Whether you're a seasoned tourer or completely new to caravanning, there's something for everyone. You can step inside hundreds of motorhomes and caravans, compare layouts side by side, and get hands-on with the latest models before making any decisions. Plus, parking is included in your ticket price and kids under 16 get in free, making it a proper family day out.
The show runs from 10am to 6pm every day from Tuesday 17th February through to Sunday 22nd February 2026, so you've got plenty of time to pop down and have a proper browse without feeling rushed.
Here's where it gets good. Our expert team will be positioned across three fantastic manufacturer stands, so you can find us easily and chat about exactly what you're looking for:
Looking for a quality touring caravan? Jason knows Coachman caravans inside out. Come and find him to explore the full 2026 Coachman range, including popular models like the VIP and the new Lusso 4. Coachman builds brilliant family caravans with thoughtful layouts and excellent build quality. Jason can walk you through everything from layout options to pricing and help you find the perfect match for your towing vehicle and touring style.
Thinking about motorhome life? Scott's your man. He'll be stationed on the Bailey Motorhomes stand showcasing Bailey's excellent range of motorhomes. Bailey has launched some cracking new models for 2026, and Scott can give you the full tour. Whether you're after a compact campervan or a spacious A-class motorhome, Scott can help you understand the differences and find what works for your adventures.
Want to explore the newest motorhome brand on the scene? Andy will be representing Kimberley on the Ace Motorhomes stand. Ace is creating quite a buzz as a brand new name launching at this year's show, and we're excited to show you what they're all about. Pop over and see Andy to discover this fresh approach to motorhome design.
Look, we could chat to you on the phone or you could visit our showroom (which you're always welcome to do, by the way), but there's something special about seeing multiple manufacturers' vehicles all in one place. The NEC show lets you compare different brands, sit in various layouts, and really get a feel for what suits you best.
What makes finding the Kimberley team at the show so valuable is that we can help you cut through the noise. With hundreds of vehicles on display, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Our team knows these products properly because we sell them every day. We can point you towards models that fit your budget, answer technical questions about weights and payloads, and give you honest advice about which layouts work best for different touring styles.
Plus, if you're specifically interested in used caravans or motorhomes (which is what we specialise in at Kimberley), we can chat about part exchange values, what to look for when buying used, and how to get the best deal. The show vehicles are brand new, but the conversation doesn't have to be.
The NEC is dead easy to get to. If you're driving, the venue is right off the M42 and M6, and as we mentioned, parking is included with your ticket. For those coming by train, Birmingham International station is literally next door to the NEC, making it one of the most accessible shows in the country.
Tickets are cheaper when you book in advance rather than paying on the day, so it's worth sorting that out ahead of time. The show offers loads of extras too, including free motorhome manoeuvring sessions with the Caravan and Motorhome Club if you want to build your confidence driving a bigger vehicle, plus talks from guest speakers and activities for the kids.
Beyond the vehicles, the NEC Caravan Show 2026 has become a proper destination for anyone into outdoor adventures. There's the largest indoor tent display in the UK if you're thinking about adding camping to your repertoire, hundreds of accessory stands selling everything from awnings to gadgets, and experts on hand to answer questions about touring destinations across the UK and Europe.
You can book holidays, research campsites, pick up bargains on camping gear, and generally get yourself properly excited about the 2026 touring season. It's the perfect way to shake off the January blues and start planning your adventures.
Honestly, we can't wait for this. The February NEC show always has such a good atmosphere, everyone's buzzing about the new season, and it's the perfect chance to have a proper face-to-face chat without any pressure.
Whether you're seriously looking to buy or just want to explore what's out there, come and find Jason on Coachman Caravans, Scott on Bailey Motorhomes, or Andy on Ace Motorhomes. We'll be there all week from 17th to 22nd February 2026, ready to help, advise, and probably chat about our favourite touring spots over a cup of coffee.
The NEC Birmingham show is at the NEC, Birmingham B40 1NT. Mark your calendars, grab your tickets, and we'll see you there. It's going to be brilliant.

If you’ve ever found yourself Googling “best time to buy a used caravan” at 10pm with a cup of tea going cold beside you, you’re not alone. We hear this question every single week at Kimberley Caravans and Motorhomes, in Nottingham, in Darlington, on the phone, on emails that start with “Just a quick one…”.

There are moments in business that feel almost surreal, and this one sits right at the top. Kimberley – The Caravans and Motorhome People – have been voted Caravan Dealer of the Year 2026 at the Out & About Awards. Public vote. No panels tucked away in quiet rooms. No mysterious judging criteria. Just real caravanners, motorhomers, weekend wanderers, and lifelong road-trippers choosing the dealer they trust most.
Honestly, that makes it hit a little deeper.

You've been scrolling through AutoTrader and Facebook for weeks now. That Coachman Laser at £2,000 less than dealer price looks tempting, doesn't it? The private seller seems genuine enough in their messages. They've got photos, a service history (well, most of it), and they're just over in Chesterfield. What could possibly go wrong?
