Adventure Overland Show

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

Just one edition of the "ADVENTURE OVERLAND & CAMPERVAN SHOW" will take place this year ... 14-15 September 2024.

Retitled "ADVENTURE OVERLAND & CAMPERVAN SHOW - THE GRAND FINALE", due to spiralling costs the event this September will be the last ever show concentraing solely on overland travel held at Stratford-upon-Avon Racecourse!

Being a national event with visitors attending from all over the country, due to the current economic climate and associated high fuel prices, we felt it was no longer possible to ask our loyal traders and campers to attend two editions of the event – ‘Spring’ in April and ‘Late Summer’ in September. We are therefore reverting to just one big ‘end of season’ event mid-September this year ... THE GRAND FINALE. 

We will however be launching a brand new show at the racecourse 15-16 June 2024

SHORT HISTORY OF THE EVENT ... followed by FAQ's.

Formerly up until 2022 there were two sides to the event for visitors - the ADVENTURE OVERLAND SHOW featuring mainly 4WD vehicles, and the INTERNATIONAL CAMPERVAN SHOW, predominantly 2WD vehicles.

Nowadays there are so many 4WD crossover vehicles such as Mercedes Sprinters, VW Transporters, and a host of smaller four-wheel-drives like the Skoda Yeti or Citroen Berlingo, the two sides of the event have morphed into one - the ADVENTURE OVERLAND & CAMPERVAN SHOW.

The event brings together those of us who love exploring the great outdoors. Under one all-inclusive title, the event still includes two full days of free-to-attend seminars (presented by both professional and amateur speakers), spanning a host of subjects covering 4x4s, 2WD campervans, adventure bikes and expedition trucks, traders galore including campervan and truck conversion specialists, clubs & their fire-pits, "Bushcraft For Kids", incredible display vehicles in the "Field of Dreams" ®, the "Travel Author's Zone" complete with book signings, the "Adventure Bike Zone" and various interactive workshops ... basically it's the biggest and best event of its type in the land!

In conjunction with the world renowned adventure travel magazine Overland Journal as a Media Partner, the ADVENTURE OVERLAND & CAMPERVAN SHOW is anything but yet another boring ol' show with vehicles simply lined up in a row. Instead it's a major festival of all things related to campers and “homes on the move”.

So whether you’re seeking a factory-built motor caravan, a company specialising in build to order van-to-campervan conversions or simply ideas for your next self-build project, then Stratford-upon-Avon

The same goes for accessories and add-on’s for professional and self-built vehicles, components to convert your van, coach, horsebox or lorry into an expedition truck to take on the world - the ADVENTURE OVERLAND & CAMPERVAN SHOW is there to fulfill all your needs.

Regarding vehicle types, all are welcome from 2WD Bedford Rascals to the largest horseboxes, coaches and buses, all types and model of van, 4WDs like Land Rovers, Toyotas and Sprinters, right through to ex-military Reynolds Broughtons and MAN 8x8 trucks!

The bottom line is ... whether your ideal camper is new or old, has all the chrome bells ‘n’ whistles or simply an understated ‘stealth model’, if it has four or more wheels and space to sleep, then it’s a campervan – something that’ll fit right in to the show!

Again, the ADVENTURE OVERLAND & CAMPERVAN SHOW is not an out ‘n’ out Land Rover/4x4/motorhome/caravan show (although motorhome owners are obviously more than welcome to attend as nobody actually knows the true definition of a campervan, motorhome, motor caravan or auto-sleeper!) but a dedicated event aimed fair and square at vans, buses or truck-type campers in all their many forms.

Welcome one and all!

Tom McGuigan (Event Director)
