Keep getting your caravan fix with the Big Little Tent Festival

Family fun can be found at this year's Big Little Tent Festival

We all love a good getaway and the ongoing lockdown means many of us will be hankering for the great outdoors, especially those of us who would traditionally break out the caravan at this time of year.

That said, with the possibility that social distancing and disruption to our lives could continue for many more months to come, what exactly can we do?

Well, the Caravan and Motorhome Club might have the perfect solution in the form of their Big Little Tent Festival, which takes place on April 15th.

Launched in 2015, it’s an annual event that’s aimed at inspiring caravan and motorhome enthusiasts across the country to break out the face paint, fairylights and music and to enjoy the great outdoors.

Given the current government guidelines on avoiding non-essential travel, this year the Club is encouraging all participants to set up their vehicle at home and join the festivities.

All those who take part can upload photos to the Club website, with a £50 Marks & Spencer voucher on offer for the six best submissions that capture the community feel of the event.

You can find out more by visiting the Caravan & Motorhome Club website, with winners to be chosen every week until mid-May.

With the need for social distancing remaining extremely strong at present and the isolation this can create for many people, the Big Little Tent Festival could be the perfect way to come together and show we’re all still hoping for better times ahead.
