Wigwam Holidays to Attend the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show in February!
For Immediate Release
Wigwam® Holidays, which has just celebrated it’s 21st birthday, is attending the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show at Birmingham’s NEC, 23rd to 28th February 2016.
Wigwam® Holidays is the market leader in glamping accommodation provision and has over 70 sites across the UK.
Visitors and businesses alike will be able to get ‘up close’ to a Running Water Deluxe Wigwam at stand 5100, Wigwam® Holidays, representatives will be on hand to chat to visitors and businesses about the glamping brand.
The show will also see the launch of Wigwam® Holidays’ newest site near to the glorious Cromer cost in Norfolk. The first Wigwam® Holidays site in this region, visitors attending the show will be offered a chance to win a fabulous break here.
The Scottish-based company began its existence when Wigwam® Holidays Director, Mr Charles Gulland, dreamt up the idea of a sustainable holiday ‘lodge’ constructed from freshly felled trees and locally grown timber back in 1989, when he was still a student.
Mr Gulland then developed ideas for low-cost lodgings and Wigwams® were the result of various changes in design and specification.
Wigwam® Holidays now has a range of four models, from a Wee Brave to Running Water Deluxe, accommodating between three and five people. The top-of-the-range design – Running Water Deluxe - includes a kitchen, bathroom, shower, dining area and double bed, and will be on show at the NEC.
Strathfillan in Scotland was the first site to include the first Wigwam® models. The site quickly gained incredible popularity, as did the rise of the ‘glamping’ phenomenon. Shortly after, three other Scottish sites followed suit and Wigwam® Holidays, as we know it today, was born.
Such was the interest that Wigwam® Holidays launched the proven and hugely successful business model as a franchise in 2014.
Mr Gulland said: ’It is hard to believe that it’s over two decades since the Wigwam® Holidays was born. Wigwams® helped launch the glamping revolution and proves you can afford a relaxing holiday in natural surroundings. It’s a chance to get close to nature in comfort, to have a great holiday in the great outdoors.
21 Years of Leading the Way with Wigwam® Holidays
Wigwam® Holidays, the UK’s market leader in the glamping cabin sector, is celebrating 21st birthday and will be attending the Camping, Caravan and Motorhome Show at Birmingham’s NEC for the first time later this month. And it’s a double celebration as the world-famous exhibition centre celebrates it’s 40th birthday this year!
Charles Gulland, Wigwam® Holidays Director, said: ’It is hard to believe it’s over two decades since Wigwam® Holidays was born. Wigwams® helped launch the glamping revolution and proves you can afford a relaxing holiday in natural surroundings – it’s a chance to get close to nature in comfort, to have a great holiday in the great outdoors.
‘We are very much looking forward being at the NEC from 23rd to 28th February, where Wigwam® Holidays staff will be on hand at the show’s Glamping Village to answer any questions.’
The Scottish-based company has over 70 sites across the British Isles and began its existence when Mr Gulland dreamt up the idea of a sustainable holiday ‘lodge’ constructed from freshly felled trees and locally grown timber back in 1989, when he was still a student at Hoop Park College, Dorset.
Soon afterwards, strange timber pyramids appeared in the Scottish countryside, looking rather like wooden tents. Mr Gulland continued to develop ideas for low-cost lodgings constructed from timber acquired through forest thinning and Wigwams were the result of various changes in design and specification.
Wigwam® Holidays now have a range of four models, from a Wee Brave to Running Water Deluxe, accommodating between three and five people. The top-of-the-range design Running Water Deluxe includes a kitchen, bathroom, shower, dining area and double bed and will be showcased at the NEC later this month.
The interest in Wigwam® Holidays lead to its hugely successful business model being launched as a franchise in 2014.
