Your one-stop update for news, offers and travel inspiration from Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes
Welcome to the second edition of our Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes newsletter!
What an incredible year it’s been – the summer flew by in a flash, and once again, you came in your droves, proving just how much we all love caravanning and motorhoming.
As we look ahead to next year, we’re gearing up to celebrate an incredible milestone: our 95th anniversary. It’s hard to believe, and honestly, we still have to pinch ourselves. Each year, we continue to break new records, and it’s all thanks to you – our amazing customers – and our brilliant team.
October’s NEC Show was one of our best ever. What a buzz, so much excitement, and plenty to be proud of! It’s been a year full of achievements, and we’re excited to share a glimpse of everything that’s been happening.
With a Trustpilot rating of 4.5 and our industry-leading Indoor Handover facility, we’re continuing to raise the bar when it comes to customer experience.
We’re so excited to see what’s in store as we head into our 95th year.
Thank you for being a part of our journey!
Warm regards,
Chris Brown
Managing Director Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes
We’ve grown into a multi-million business with 85 talented people – each one playing a vital part in our success story. To celebrate all that our team brings, we held a fantastic staff party in late October to recognise individual and team achievements. Every sale, every handover, every vehicle lovingly cleaned –it all contributes to the fantastic reputation Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes has built over the years. This year has been one of growth, innovation and teamwork, and we couldn’t be prouder.
It’s fair to say the industry is watching us right now –and maybe even a little envious! So, what’s our secret?
It’s simple: our people, our passion and our pride. From our family-run beginnings to becoming one of the UK’s leading leisure businesses, we’ve stayed true to our roots and committed to serving our customers with the highest standards.
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes Staff Party & Awards Night
On the evening of 31st October, we gathered together for a truly special evening at the stunning Bawtry Hall. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement, and the venue was filled with laughter, a few happy tears, and plenty of love as we celebrated everything that makes Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes such a unique and extraordinary place to work. It was a night to honour the dedication, passion, and hard work of our incredible team.
The night was filled with unforgettable moments, from a talented magician and a fun photo booth to live music and a disco. While the evening was a celebration of our entire team, we took a moment to acknowledge some individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond this year.

EXPERT ADVICE FROM A TEAM WHO GENUINELY LOVE WHAT THEY DO
ON FREEDOM’S WINGS
We’re honoured to support the Bomber County Gateway Trust and their incredible On Freedom’s Wings project — a full-scale sculpture of the iconic Lancaster Bomber in Lincolnshire. This project is close to our hearts. Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes began in 1931 in Bawtry, home of RAF Bawtry, once HQ for Bomber Command.
We’re proud to have made a donation to help complete this landmark - a lasting tribute to bravery, remembrance, and freedom.
“This is a story I’ll be proud to tell my daughters - a powerful symbol of courage, remembrance, and freedom.”

AUTUMN TOURING SAFETY TIPS
Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of the year to explore the UK in your motorhome. The countryside turns golden, the roads are quieter, and campsites often feel more relaxed. But as the clocks go back and the weather turns colder, autumn also brings conditions that call for extra care on the road.
