Held at Elvaston Castle on 2nd and 3rd July 2011, the Elvaston Steam Rally is a day out with a difference. On exhibit will be a wide range and unusual variety of steam vehicles, with everything from miniature steam engines to tractors and fair organs to catch your attention.

These holidays are proving to be so popular because of the low cost but high level of enjoyment that can be gained from them.

With caravan hire you have the freedom to do as you please and explore the area where you are staying at your own pace.

Enjoying the beauty of nature

Wednesday, December 22nd, 2010

One of the best things about camping and caravanning is the fact that you can benefit from being as close to the great outdoors as possible. This makes for a holiday of endless possibilities where you can explore forests, go walking in the mountains and amble through the beautiful countryside, while staying in a caravan park nearby.

Most people in the United Kingdom forget how amazing it is to take in the glorious sight of nature and think that holidays abroad are always more interesting. However, this is certainly not the case if you are a lover of the great outdoors.

In fact, you can have a cost effective and truly enjoyable holiday right here through caravan hire, without having to hop on a plane and book expensive hotels.

For holiday ideas you could go to one of the National Parks which are the envy of Europe. With nature preserved as it should be, you can check out quaint villages and historical sites while breathing in the clean, country air. There really is nothing to compare to it.

It also does not matter what season it is either; whether the trees are bereft of leaves in the winter, or plants are blooming again during the spring, each has its own delights and enables you to enjoy a holiday to the full.

The great outdoors is something that can be enjoyed by anyone. When you decide to take a trip and stay in a caravan you can be as close to nature as you could possibly get. What is not to like about taking in some breath-taking scenery without having to compromise on your comfort?

A caravan holiday to remember

Sunday, December 12th, 2010

When I look back, I recall many fond memories of going on caravan holidays between the ages of about five until my early teens. From holidaying in Wales at a caravan park by the sea to a Haven Holiday in France; I have always loved staying in caravans.

Back then these mobile homes were devoid of the many mod cons and features you get as standard and come to expect today, yet as a family we still had a great time. If you are thinking about whether to go on a caravan or motorhome trip at some point next year, as a couple or a family holiday if you have kids, then you can rest assured that caravans have a lot to offer.

One of the main benefits that is often stressed, and for good reason, is that you can just go wherever you please, at any time of the year. Due to the fact that modern motorhomes and caravans are fitted with heating and hot water facilities, you can just go away and stay in comfort for the duration of your holiday.

So, when you decide on caravan hire, you can really make it a holiday to remember.

When static caravan hire is the best option

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

There are a number of key benefits that you get when hiring a static caravan in certain situations as their size and range of facilities make them great for temporary accommodation when you really need it.

For holidaymakers, motorhomes and mobile caravans are more suitable because you can take them wherever you like, within the UK and abroad when travelling through Europe. A family would be able to live comfortably in this type of accommodation, but for business purposes there is a more suitable option.

These days, static caravan hire is popular with companies who are involved with the construction industry as they are used as storage facilities, canteens, site offices and temporary accommodation.

Static caravans are often hired by construction firms, road contractors, plant operators and housing development organisations throughout the UK to provide accommodation or storage options for workers.

If you are in an emergency situation and require temporary accommodation immediately, then static caravans can come to the rescue.

Those who are working on self-build projects also can benefit from static caravan hire, while there are many configuration options to suit you and your requirements. In fact, you can order a static caravan to be delivered wherever and whenever it is needed in the UK and wider Europe.

Look to stay in comfort while you shoot your blockbuster film

Friday, November 12th, 2010

When on location at any film shoot you will know how long the days can be and how important it is to be there, ready to get the best shot and angle at the opportune moment. If you have chosen your filming location for the movie but have not yet decided on the accommodation for the crew, actors and everybody else involved, you should definitely consider caravan rental.

This comfortable mobile home option is great for those working in the TV and film industries as caravans are a flexible choice. You can get them delivered to and collected from the designated site for the shoot which eliminates a lot of hassle and further problems.

Even if you have established actors involved who demand the very best in terms of comfort, modern caravans now have all the amenities you would expect including heating as well as hot and cold running water. Add to this separate shower and bathroom facilities and a well-stocked kitchen unit and you have all you need for a few weeks on the road.

With caravan hire for film location work you can be sure you are close to the action as you don’t have to worry about hotel bookings and staying in a town or city centre. And as they can sleep up to six people, they are great at providing affordable accommodation on a tight budget.
