BBC DJ Chris Hawkins: Caravans are cool again

by Chris Jefferies
An Englishman’s home is his caravan, according to BBC 6 Music radio DJ Chris Hawkins, who has spoken of his new-found love for touring.
Speaking to OK! magazine, the 35-year-old father of one said that he finds caravanning very convenient for his family holidays.
His wife, ITV weather presenter Claire Nasir, will be joining him on the road, as will their 20-month old daughter Sienna.
“Clare and I have been to lots of music festivals before, but we’ve not been in a caravan until now,” he told the celebrity magazine.
“It’s brilliant, because we can enjoy a really good mix of music, and we’ll be able to take constant care of our daughter, with the caravan as our family base.”
When asked if caravanning was cool again, Chris said that caravans are “brilliant” and his family “love” the experience much more than camping, which he has vowed never to do again.
Chris Hawkins will be hosting the Summer Sundae Weekender in Leicestershire from August 12th to 14th, weekend tickets cost £115 and caravans are welcome for an extra fee of £35.
This year’s line-up includes the Mercury award-nominated act King Creosote & John Hopkins, as well as perennial family favourites McFly.
