Running on the weekend of 4th & 5th November the NI Leisure Show will showcase the largest display of caravans, motorhomes, campervans and static caravans from leading manufacturers and dealers all under one roof, as well as jet skis, canoes, accessories and consumables. There will be great deals and bargains on offer so the event is one not to be missed.

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council is delighted to see the show come to the Council area. Chairman of the Development Committee, Alderman Allan Ewart, MBE, said: “This is a welcomed addition to the calendar of tourism events being held in the Council area, attracting visitors from all over Ireland looking for inspiration on a range of leisure activities. If you are looking for new ideas for places to stay, new outdoor pursuits and expert advice make sure you get along to the NI Leisure Show and let your adventures unfold. We are proud to be home to Northern Ireland's largest exhibition venue & events centre, The Eikon Exhibition Centre, and we welcome any new exhibitions being held in it. It’s good for tourism and it is good for the economic growth in our area. The Council will be participating in the show taking along our tourism trailer for visitors to learn more about upcoming events and our extensive range of visitor attractions.”

Show organiser Billy Nutt MBE, of Nutt Promotions, has been involved in promoting events for over 40 years, including events such as the International North West 200, the Ulster Grand Prix and many other motor cycling events and is looking forward to bringing the show to Lisburn: “This is a fantastic opportunity for holiday enthusiasts to meet with industry experts and to see the latest vehicles and accessories. Many people are now discovering the benefits of camping and caravanning and it is the perfect break for all kinds of holiday makers.
