Looking for the perfect excuse for a great day out or perhaps a weekend escape? And maybe even the chance of discovering a completely new lifestyle? 

Then why not head to Warwickshire this summer to make the most of all Shakespeare's county has to offer - and to enjoy the completely free World of Park & Leisure Homes Show. 

The event will see large parts of the beautiful NAEC Stoneleigh showground completely transformed into a mini-park with around 50 park homes and lodges available for guests to explore from Friday 6 June until Sunday 8 June. 

The World of Park & Leisure Homes Show - organised by Pat and Jo Turner - offers a glimpse into the wonderful leisure lifestyle on offer and potential retirement options that many guests may not have considered before. 

And for those travelling from further afield, why not make it a day trip or even a whole weekend away, taking in the show and all sunny Warwickshire has to offer.

"There are lots of people who have never considered the leisure homes lifestyle or thought about retiring to a park home," Pat told Nub News. 

"And what is great about the World of Park & Leisure Homes Show is you can get a real insight into the fabulous leisure lifestyle on offer, and what living in one of these homes could be like. 

"Why not come to the show - which is of course free - and discover something completely different, something possibly life changing.

"And then spend the rest of your weekend exploring Warwick and Kenilworth Castles, the Cotswolds, Shakespeare's Stratford and everything else this historic county has to offer." 

The industry-leading event brings the biggest manufacturers to South Warwickshire, as well as many park site owners from across the UK and beyond.

It means the World of Park & Leisure Homes Show offers something for everyone - an insight into a new world for some, the opportunity to find out more about park homes for those already interested, and the chance to upgrade your home for those already enjoying the lifestyle. 

And explaining how the lifestyle has grown over the years, Jo said: "Park and leisure homes are massive all over the world now.

"People have more lifestyle choices now and the park homes give people a really different alternative to consider for both their retirement and hard-earned leisure time. 

"They may not want to go into a flat or a retirement home, but they can buy a park home, on a beautiful countryside site with like-minded people, in a community, and feel safe, while enjoying a great quality of life. 

"And with the leisure homes, people can buy a place on a beautiful park in a highly desirable area to spend their weekends or holidays relaxing and enjoying their hobbies and leisure activities. 

"It's an affordable chance to escape into the countryside or by the sea and break up their normal routine."

Sponsored by Berkeleyparks, the event is kick-started with a trade-only day on Thursday 5 June, before the public are welcomed for free for the rest of the week. 

The fantastic, free event is also dog-friendly, making it even easier for those planning a weekend break in Warwickshire. 

And with the NAEC easily accessible from the Cotswolds, Stratford-upon-Avon, Kenilworth, Warwick and even further afield, the event would fit in perfectly with a weekend away in Shakespeare's county. 

"Obviously we hope for a lovely sunny day, but even if it is raining, you still get a real idea of what a fantastic lifestyle is on offer," Pat explained.

"And the best thing about the show is, even if you don't know anything about park homes, or have never even heard of them, it is a great opportunity for a fantastic day out and a chance to explore the showhomes and lodges on view and find out more about a really exciting life changing opportunity. 

"Where else would you get the chance to explore mini-homes, luxury lodges and fantastic park homes all in one place." 

This year as the show continues to expand, a number of new companies and exhibitors will be attending the show including The British Pod Co with their fabulous range for visitors to explore. 

And the growth of the show over the last three decades reflects the growth of the industry.

"People are retiring earlier, people are retiring younger, people have more leisure time, people want to relax," Pat explained. 

"A lot of people don't want to just stay in their home in the towns and cities, they want to head to the countryside or coast to enjoy the fresh air. 

"The luxury and the standard of the homes, plus the standard of the parks themselves is incredible. It is a really attractive retirement idea.

"And it is something completely different as a leisure or holiday option. 

"It truly is a nice thing to do - especially with people wanting to holiday in the UK and feel part of a community of like-minded people."
