Building on the success of last year, British Marine is delighted to announce the return of the marine showcase at the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show 2025 for the fourth consecutive year! Set against the vibrant backdrop of the UK’s premier start-of-year event for caravanning, camping, and motorhome enthusiasts, this year’s showcase promises to inspire adventure seekers with an array of entry level watersports and marine products. Taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 18-23 February, it’s the perfect opportunity to dip your toes into the world of on-the-water fun.
 

Lesley Robinson, CEO of British Marine, highlighted the natural synergy between outdoor living and watersports, stating: “The marine showcase brilliantly bridges the gap between land and water-based adventures, offering around 100,000-plus visitors an exciting chance to discover watersports equipment ranging from kayaks and canoes to inflatable boats and paddleboards. This unique platform not only highlights the complementary nature of outdoor and on-the-water activities but also provides British Marine members and marine businesses with an invaluable opportunity to connect with new audiences and expand into a broader, like-minded market.”

British Marine has once again facilitated space for both returning and first-time exhibitors, ensuring a diverse and engaging marine showcase for attendees. Lesley added: “It was an easy decision to return to such a popular and successful show. We’re thrilled to welcome new exhibitors and continue supporting those who have been with us from the start.
