Pitch-up and Carry On – caravans in wartime Britain
Current exhibition.
During the Second World War, caravans became more than just a leisure escape—they were a lifeline. As Britain braced for war, caravans provided shelter for evacuees fleeing the Blitz, mobile command posts for military strategists, and vital support units for the Red Cross and Civil Defence.
This exhibition explores the remarkable role of The Caravan Club and its members during the war, highlighting stories of resilience and ingenuity.
