Welcome to the National Outdoor Expo 2025

Welcome to the National Outdoor Expo 2025! A huge amount of work has gone into the show this year to ensure that this is a great day out for people who love all things outdoors. 

The show covers a diverse range of passions including walking, hiking, climbing, trail running, paddleboarding, kayaking, camping, open water swimming, and outdoor cooking. Whatever your outdoor pursuit may be, you’ll find it here, along with ample opportunities for inspiration, learning, and adventure –

We hope you love the all-new co-location with the National Cycling Show, brought to you with V12 Retail Finance next door in hall 2.

There is something for everyone regardless of age, ability, background or gender. We strive to be as inclusive as possible showing that everyone can get outside and active.

What’s on offer?

Head over to the Outdoor Stage sponsored by Caravanfinder.co.uk to hear from amazing speakers and panel discussions including Steve Backshall, Kate Humble, Ray Mears, Mark Ormrod and more – go to the ‘Agenda’ button in the Show Guide to see who is speaking, when and where so you don’t miss out.

The show represents a great range of exhibiting brands where you can pick up all the latest gear. Tap into the expert advice on hand at each stand and go home with something new to help you on your journey outdoors!

What can I do other than shop?

After hearing from our speakers you can check out ‘The Axe Throwing with the Bushscouts’ sponsored by Hultafors, head to the ‘Caving Experience’ or venture up the ‘Climbing Wall’! Find out your next adventure holiday at the ‘Adventure Travel Hub’ brought to you by the Bucket List Company or gain valuable ‘Skills with Plas y Brenin’.

Don’t forget to dip out to the Lakeside water features with NOWCA running open water swimming sessions and Leam Boat Centre hosting paddleboard and kayaking sessions over the weekend.
