Carry on camping at roadshow near Shrewsbury
One of the county's most successful businesses has been celebrating camping and caravanning week by hosting a special roadshow.
Salop Leisure, based just off the Emstrey Island outside Shrewsbury, has been one of only a handful of venues across the UK to welcome the Camping and Caravanning Club roadshow.
The event is celebrating the theme of "share the moment", and features a pop-up camping station with caravans and motor homes, tents, caravan slot racing, stalls, al fresco cooking demonstrations and more.
Rob Ganley of the Camping and Caravanning Club said they were delighted to visit Salop Leisure, which he described as a "key dealership".

"Salop Leisure is a fantastic dealership, it is one of our preferred dealers. It is just a really state of the art premises with lots of awards, the service it delivers in selling caravans and motor homes is superb and obviously it has the new camping site which is incredibly impressive."
Mr Ganley said the visitors had been enjoying looking around the roadshow.
