Description
The Caravan and Motorhome Club Collection, in partnership with the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, present Pitch Up and Carry On, an exhibition opening 13 September 2025 through to early Summer 2026, that reveals the remarkable and largely untold story of how caravans and their owners supported the war effort during the Second World War.
Drawing on rare materials from the Caravan and Motorhome Club Collection, including manufacturers' records, Club magazines, advertising, photographs and personal accounts, the exhibition, in the Museum's In Focus Gallery, explores how caravans were adapted for military and civilian purposes at a time of national crisis and how the Club came in aid of its members and people taking up caravanning for the first time. From mobile RAF offices and army briefing rooms to Women's Land Army accommodation and even air raid shelters, caravans became crucial tools in Britain's wartime resilience.
