VW enthusiasts will be heading to the Camper Mart show at The International Centre in Telford later this month.
Camper Mart will offer more to visitors in 2016, with two halls being given over to traders, with everything from conversion companies like Celtic Motorhomes and Vanhaus, through to accessory experts like Van-X and camping gurus, Lightning Leisure, to specialist companies like Fat Bob’s Emporium and the VW Keyman.
Event Director, Shelley Bond, said: “We’re delighted to be building on the success of Camper Mart by expanding to take over three halls at The International Centre, showcasing almost twice the number of VW buses as last year. We’ve been really pleased with the response to last year’s show from visitors and traders alike and it’s great to be getting so many enquiries about the show already at a time when many are busy making plans for Christmas. We’re pleased to be perking up the traditionally quiet month of January!”
The number of VW buses on display will be nearly doubled this year, and with the release of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ in December, Camper Mart have invited UK Garrison, a costuming group and enthusiasts, to the event – rolling up in their very own VW, which will be among the vehicles on display and is obviously their preferred land transport! Stormtroopers, Boba Fett and maybe even Darth Vader will make an appearance. They will be raising money for the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation. The Bus Doctors will also be on hand to offer their own brand of down to earth practical advice for all your bus related problems and queries.
The third hall is the entertainment hall where eight teams of scary boys and equally scary girls go toe to toe in the Roller Derby, including one team rather splendidly named ‘The Crash Test Brummies’. New for this year is a Ukulele Workshop where you can get strumming and humming along with the host, Gacko. So why not start the New Year learning a new, fun skill that’s suited to all ages and abilities. BMX enthusiasts and skateboarders will perform amazing stunts on the ramps, whilst Pif-Paf will again offer an incredible two-wheeled adventure for the younger show goers, with giant adventures departing right from the heart of the show in their Flycycle and Submercycle machines. Rainbow faces and Henna cat will again be showcasing their face and body painting skills respectively.
If all of that’s not enough excitement, there will also be a music stage where live bands and singer/songwriters will be playing all day.
Adult day passes for Camper Mart which takes place on Sunday 31st January cost £10.
