The Norfolk Motorhome & Campervan Show – Your Perfect Summer Weekender
Returning to the Norfolk Showground from 17-19 July 2026, this Out & About Live event has become one of the standout weekends in the UK motorhome and campervan scene - and it’s easy to see why.
The Norfolk Motorhome & Campervan Show | Out & About Live
Unlike some shows that are purely sales-focused, the Norfolk show has a much more relaxed summer atmosphere. Yes, there are hundreds of motorhomes and campervans to explore, but it’s also about the experience – live music, evening entertainment, outdoor activities and that unmistakable feeling of being surrounded by fellow campers and van lifers!
Whether you’re a seasoned motorhome owner, dreaming of your first campervan, or simply love weekends outdoors, there’s something here for everyone.
More Than Just a Motorhome Show
One of the biggest draws of the Norfolk Motorhome & Campervan Show is the huge scale of it all.
You can browse hundreds of new and used motorhomes and campervans from dealers across the country, alongside a huge selection of outdoor leisure retailers selling everything from awnings and camping gadgets to outdoor clothing and travel accessories.
It’s the perfect opportunity to compare layouts, get inspiration for future upgrades, or simply spend hours admiring vans you absolutely don’t need… but suddenly really want. This is the problem I have whenever I attend a Warner show! I now have a 5th wheeler on my bucket list
And because everything is gathered in one place, it saves the hassle of travelling from showroom to showroom trying to compare options.
The Festival Feel Everyone Talks About
What really makes this event stand out is the atmosphere.
By day, the showground is packed with expert talks, cooking demonstrations, live theatre sessions and hands-on activities. By night, it transforms into a summer party with live entertainment, music and plenty of socialising.
For those camping for the weekend, there are four nights of entertainment included with camping pitches, making it feel much more like a mini festival than a traditional exhibition.
Expect live bands, dancing, silent discos and the kind of laid-back evenings that campervan weekends are all about.
A Brilliant Family-Friendly Weekend
This is definitely one of those events where families are genuinely catered for.
Alongside the motorhomes and shopping areas, there’s a packed schedule of activities including archery, bushcraft workshops, inflatables, axe throwing and interactive outdoor games.
The kids stay entertained all day while you can browse vans, grab food from the catering stands and enjoy the live entertainment.
I’ve always loved the idea of exploring the Norfolk Broads, so the organised day trip at the show sounds like the perfect addition to the weekend. Running on both Saturday and Sunday, visitors can enjoy a coach trip followed by a relaxing boat ride through the beautiful Norfolk Broads waterways. It’s a chance to take in the stunning scenery, spot local wildlife and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere that makes this part of Norfolk so special. Whether you’re a nature lover or simply fancy a slower-paced escape during the busy festival weekend, it sounds like a brilliant experience to add to your itinerary.
Why It’s Worth Visiting
There’s something really special about summer campervan events in the UK, and Norfolk has built a reputation for being one of the friendliest and most relaxed on the calendar.
It combines:
- campervan inspiration
- shopping
- entertainment
- camping
- social atmosphere
- family activities
…all in one weekend.
Whether you visit for a day or stay for the full weekend, it’s the kind of event that leaves you already planning next year before you’ve even driven home.
