Top new showroom for Dorset dealership

29, January 2025

Blackmore Vale Leisure, Dorset’s biggest retailer of new and used touring caravans, has opened its new indoor showroom on its North Dorset site.

With guests from the NCC in attendance, the showroom was officially opened on 16 January with the ribbon being cut by workshop manager Peter Coates, the company's longest-serving employee at 19 years' service. 

Established in 1967, the multi-award-winning caravan dealership was acquired by Horton Commercials Group in November 2022 and has over 75 leisure vehicles on display at the Shaftesbury site.

Since expanding Blackmore Vale Leisure now offers six caravan brands from three manufacturers, Swift, Sprite, Knaus, Weinsberg, T@B and Adria as well as hand-selected used caravans from all manufacturers. 

In addition, it has a NCC Approved Workshop meaning the team can also service and repair any NCC Approved touring caravan.

Managing Director David Wolfenden said: “We have created a go to caravan and leisure destination here at Blackmore Vale Leisure offering what I hope are industry leading facilities with more to come – watch us grow! The leisure market is changing, and we believe that as a leisure group which includes Abacus motorhomes and the Red Shoot Camping Park in the New Forest, we are set fair for the future, offering what few other can.”

The showroom not only adds indoor display space to show some of the caravans but also a customer waiting area, free refreshments and customer facilities including Wi-Fi, and the opportunity to use a private room to work while a customer waits for servicing or repairs.

As part of buying a caravan with Blackmore Vale Leisure all customers receive tuition on how to use their new caravan and a free two-night stay at the New Forest campsite in addition to a tow check service, and free 12 month membership of the Caravan and Motorhome Club.
