The Getaway Show is set to debut in Aberdeen, Scotland, bringing an industry-focused platform for the caravan, motorhome, and outdoor leisure sectors.
Scheduled from October 3 to 5, 2025, at the P&J Live venue, the event is positioned as a key opportunity for businesses to showcase the latest 2026 models and outdoor gear ahead of the season.
Strategically timed to follow the August 2025 product launches, the show provides manufacturers, dealers, and suppliers with a venue to connect directly with prospective buyers and industry stakeholders.
For Scottish-based retailers and suppliers, this event also presents a rare opportunity to highlight products in a region known for its outdoor appeal but underserved in terms of major trade exhibitions.
With proximity to the Cairngorms National Park and the North Coast 500 touring route, the location aligns with the interests of touring vehicle users and adventure travelers.
The regional backdrop not only supports tourism but also creates natural alignment with the broader industry’s offerings, positioning the show as both accessible and contextually relevant.
According to event organiser Jamie Taylor, the show aims to spotlight innovations in caravan and motorhome design, including off-grid solutions and 4×4 configurations, trends that are increasingly resonating with younger consumers and those seeking flexibility in travel.
For businesses in the industry, these trends signal a growing demand for versatile, self-sufficient vehicles, indicating a potential shift in customer expectations.
The event will also include practical demonstrations and tips, which may serve as an informal educational platform for smaller operators or newcomers looking to enter or expand within the market.
For dealers and park operators, such exposure offers valuable face time with suppliers and insight into consumer preferences, potentially informing inventory and amenity planning for the 2026 season.
Participating brands include Swift, Bailey, Coachman, Panama, Elddis, Sprite, Knaus, Weinsberg, Hobby, Dometic, and more, giving professionals a wide array of products to evaluate under one roof.
Malcolm Sempey, owner of Kirkcaldy Caravans, noted the importance of the event’s timing in a news release, as it allows businesses to align marketing and sales efforts with early-season interest.
In addition to serving consumers, the show offers vendors a chance to test regional demand and build brand visibility in Northern Scotland, where year-round outdoor activity supports sustained interest in mobile leisure options.
As such, the inaugural Getaway Show may evolve into a recurring fixture for the industry in a region primed for growth.
