The Getaway Show to Launch at P&J Live
The ultimate caravan, motorhome, and outdoor leisure show is set to hold its inaugural event in the Northeast of Scotland. The Getaway Show opens at Aberdeen’s P&J Live from 3rd to 5th October 2025 and showcases the caravan and leisure industry’s latest models and kit, making it the first opportunity for Scottish fans to see the new season’s stock, released in August 2025.
From the latest touring vehicles to self-build campervan interior tips, along with camping and outdoor equipment, there will be something appealing to both the seasoned tourer and for those starting out on their first adventure.
Rob Wicks, Managing Director of P&J Live, said: “The outdoor leisure industry is one we are very proud of up here in Aberdeenshire, with our region famed for its rugged beauty from shore to summit. Aberdeen is the gateway to both the UK’s largest National Park, the Cairngorms, as well as the world-famous North Coast 500 touring route, making this an ideal show for the venue to host. Add to that the growing trend to ‘get away from it all’ at the weekend, and we have the perfect platform to showcase all the latest products at one terrific show.
“Experts will be on hand to provide demonstrations and practical tips, while pop-up food and drink vendors, a kid’s zone and live music will keep the entire family entertained.”
Jamie Taylor, Event Organiser, said: “We are excited to showcase an incredible range of models and layouts of caravans, motorhomes, and holiday homes for 2026 that reflect the evolution of the industry, including off-grid options and 4x4 campervans. At its heart, this event is all about celebrating the holiday spirit and the freedom that comes with taking your home on wheels wherever adventures lead. Our goal is to provide visitors with a fantastic day out, making this show the premier destination in Scotland for exploring next year's innovations.”
Malcolm Sempey, Owner of Kirkcaldy Caravans, said: "As the owner of multiple caravan and motorhome dealerships, I am thrilled to participate in this year's show. The October dates are crucial as they coincide with the launch of the new season's models, providing visitors with their first chance to see these exciting offerings and place their orders.
“We are proud to present a diverse range of models that cater to every lifestyle, from family adventures to solo getaways. This event embodies the essence of freedom and exploration that comes with owning a home on wheels, and of course, there may be a deal or two to be had! We invite everyone to join us and discover the joy of staycationing in style!”
Brands expected to feature at the show include Swift, Bailey, Coachman, Panama, Carnaby, Elddis, Sprite, Knaus, Weinsberg Benimar, Hobby, Dometic, Thule, Dorema, Sunncamp, Starrcamp, Mestic, Tentbox, Skypod and many more.
