A feast of family fun is lined up at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate this weekend for the Great Holiday Home Show.
UK's largest outdoor holiday home show comes to Harrogate this week A feast of family fun is lined up at the Great Yorkshire Showground this week when the Great Holiday Home Show opens to the public in Harrogate for the first time. With 227 holiday homes and 140 motorhomes and caravans on display across 33 acres of land, it is the largest outdoor holiday home show in the country. There will be lots to entertain visitors, including live music, child-friendly performances and demonstrations. For the first time in its 40-year history, the Great Holiday Home Show (formerly known as The Lawns) will be held at the Great Yorkshire Showground from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th September. Among the Show’s family-friendly line-up of entertainment are Mr. Wilson’s Second Liners whose upbeat tracks are guaranteed to get audiences dancing, Flat Cap Brass and their bold brass and drum repertoire, and The Washboard Resonators, an ensemble who sound like a ragtime street band meeting a Hollywood musical on a theatre stage in the 1930s.

There will also be facepainting, a climbing wall, a delicious choice of food from Mexican burritos to traditional fish and chips, as well as an array of leisure activity demonstrations showing what families can do on their next holiday. Have a go at stand-up paddleboarding, test the latest e-bikes and take a towing tuition session to test your skills; a great opportunity if you are looking to purchase your first caravan. Other highlights that are not to be missed are celebrity chat shows and cookery demos. Richard Jones, Show Chairman said:
