The Glamping Show, the only event of its kind that caters purely for the glamping sector, has grown and evolved since its inception in 2015.
I t’ s not just a great source for glamping products and services but it is also the leading forum for essential industry intelligence.

“ It is an excellent show. I am in the process of setting up a glamping site and have especially found the seminars useful and very informative. For anyone planning a glamping site the Show is well worth a visit.” Mrs Cheney, Northamptonshire, 2016
Now in its third year the Glamping Show has become a truly international event and visitors can expect to see glamping suppliers from all corners of the world showcasing an extensive range of different structures from luxury tents, pods and shepherd huts to floating lodges and treehouses plus everything in between as well as a wide range of accessories and all the services you need to ensure the successful running of a glamping business.
“ The Glamping Show is the perfect place to find everything in one place, great show!” Caroline, Hampshire, 2016
Glamping is now an established and recognised part of the holiday and tourism sectors with a strong sustainable future and the industry has enjoyed exponential growth in the last few years. So, whatever stage your business is at a visit to the Glamping Show will pay dividends.

Network with others who have already made the leap and tap into an exceptional knowledge bank. To keep abreast of the fast-moving glamping industry the Glamping Show is constantly evolving to ensure its visitors have up to the minute information on everything the glamping industry has to offer. Visitors not only get the opportunity to experience the latest structures on the market today all in one place but they can also fully equip their site too with all the latest services, technology and accessories. In addition, visitors can tap into a comprehensive seminar programme that will give them the tools and knowledge to ensure the success of their business.
This year we have three new areas that will enhance the visitor experience. Here’ s what’ s new at this year’ s show. Glamping Business Workshops This year Glamping Guru, Kate Morel, will be running an exclusive two-part workshop to‘ top and tail’ your visit to the show to make sure that you really get the most from your day.
Kate Morel comments:“ I’ ve seen the glamping industry develop beyond recognition over the years, and as more glampsites start up each year it’ s obvious to me which will survive and which will not.
I’ ll be asking questions that potential owners might not have considered and running through the set-up process, focusing on subjects that will be explored by the Show as well as‘ take-aways’ that can be applied ongoing.”
Share Kate’ s experiences and industry tips, which will allow you to hit the show more focussed, more aware and armed with inside knowledge. After experiencing everything the show has to offer, at the end of the day take part in a brainstorming session on how you can create your own outstanding glampsite that will outshine any competitor.
The workshops will help you make the right decisions; not just at the show but afterwards as you go forward to create your own glamping businesses. In short, these workshops will share the key secrets to success in a rapidly developing industry. Meet the Experts A brand-new service for our visitors this year is the opportunity to have a one on one 20-minute meeting with an industry expert of your choice.
These meetings will take place on the Thursday and Friday of the show. With limited morning and afternoon time slots available, if you have you got a business area that you are struggling with then make sure you book your slot now! Design Demonstrations Get some of the best design advice available for your glamping site from Nikkita Palmer of Nikkita Palmer Designs. On the Saturday of the Show you will be able to experience live demonstrations by Nikkita who will be demonstrating furniture building, transformations and styling based around key design trends that are sure to set your glamping site above the rest.
