| | ARVE BURNS NIGHT RALLY |
27-29 January |
(View Details)
(Hide Details)
Following the success of the Burns Night rally at Melton Mowbray in 2011 we are holding it again at the same venue.
The owners of the Grange Alpine Restaurant have agreed to provide us with traditional Burns Night fayre and our old friend 'Bill the Bags' will be able to provide the traditional Burns Night music.
The venue is within a mile of Melton town centre which is well served with pubs (20 or more) and many restaurants serving many different styles of food. For those without transport a regular bus service runs past the venue entrance and there is a good taxi service in Melton.
The restaurant will be able to provide breakfast from 9.30-11am on Saturday and Sunday and also Sunday lunch from 12-3pm (must be pre-booked). There is a farm shop on site which can provide milk, bread, meat, veg and other items you may need. There is also a garden centre adjacent to the restaurant.
We will be able to provide space for about 15-20 RVs, dependent on size, and between 40 and 50 people in the restaurant. The total cost for the weekend should be around £85 per RV for two people, additional adults will cost approx £35 each.
If you would like to attend this rally please contact me as soon as possible as we are sure that it will be oversubscribed. The space for parking the RVs is limited but the restaurant will be able to cope with more bookings so if any of you wish to arrive by car and stay locally there is available accommodation in and around Melton.
Please call me on 01664 561494 during the daytime or 01664 566810 in the evenings but do not leave it too late to book as we may have to disappoint you.

15-17 June |
(View Details)
(Hide Details)
2010 saw the launch of The Midsummer Great Escape at Prestwold Hall, Loughborough, where we welcomed almost 2,000 units on site for the weekend. In 2011 it was held at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire and in 2012 it will be held at Kelmarsh Hall in Northamptonshire
For a first and second events were very successful with a good turnout of ralliers and because of the obvious popularity of the event, Warners are continuing with the theme of 'the outdoor leisure show' at different locations each year
Moving location to the beautiful grounds of Belvoir Castle, Grantham straight off the A1 we will have a comprehensive marketing plan in place to attract day visitors to the event.
Centred around 2 open air concerts on the Friday and Saturday evening we will look to attract visitors of all ages and the line up of acts will reflect this.
This is the show within our portfolio that as well as regular clients we will deliver a 'new' audience to your trade stand. 38% of our 2010 visitors were not currently registered on our database, new to our shows. The mix of trade we are looking to attract will encompass the whole of the leisure industry to include Motorhomes, caravans, tents and accompanying accessories as well as accessories for the home and garden including craft and food displays.
We will be looking to work closely with the clubs on this event offering their members a preferred discount to rally at the show as we see that by the nature of this event it will be a real attraction to those wanting to get together with friends for a leisure weekend.
