Swan Events is delighted to announce that the UK’s premier business-to-business event for the glamping industry, The Glamping Show, will celebrate its 10th anniversary when the annual event returns to Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire from 19th to 21st September 2024.
The Show is a specialist event that brings together manufacturers and suppliers of every type of structure, product and service that the glamping industry has to offer. It is an unmissable opportunity for anyone already running or looking to set up a glamping operation to see products first-hand and attend a range of seminars and workshops, hosted by leading industry figures, offering advice on setting up or expanding a glamping operation.
In the last decade, glamping has become increasingly popular and, as a consequence, the industry has grown to become a prominent part of the leisure business. Where it was once a niche concept, it is now a widely recognised and respected part of the outdoor lifestyle industry. This year’s Show welcomes exhibitors from across the sector including bell tents, wigwams, pods, shepherds’ huts, cabins and gypsy caravans, to eco toilets, portable washrooms, storage containers, hot tubs, lighting, fire pits, barbeques and accessories.
The customer demographics of this free-to-attend event are extremely diverse. Once again, organisers expect to welcome owners and operators of glamping sites, caravan & camping sites, holiday parks, leisure/theme parks, festival organisers, hotel chains, golf courses, farmers, national parks and woodland managers, as well as B&B/pub owners and smaller individual operators, among others. Continuing change for farm and land management and an increase in interest from corporate investors hints at the growth of larger scale projects and investment.
Given the outdoor nature of the sector, the organisers are returning to Stoneleigh Park in September since the venue enables exhibitors to showcase their products as they would be used in a real-life situation. There is plenty of outdoor exhibiting space and huge exhibitor halls that lend themselves to this type of exhibition. Centrally located in Warwickshire, the showground provides easy transport links for visitors travelling from all areas of the UK, as well as internationally via Birmingham Airport.
Peter Rusbridge, Director of Swan Events, said: “The Glamping Show offers glamping suppliers the unique opportunity to showcase their products to a highly targeted audience. Many exhibitors are returning to the event for the 10th time this year due to the valuable return on investment the show offers businesses in the sector.”
