Southampton Boat Show
Fri, 18 – Sun, 27 September 2026
Mayflower Park/Town Quay Southampton, Hampshire, SO15 1AG, England 
Sail into summer with a visit to the Southampton International Boat Show. The UK’s largest maritime festival, this family-friendly event displays everything from kayaks and catamarans to stand-up paddleboards and superyachts. You’ll come across stalls, experiences and workshops on land and in Europe’s biggest purpose-built marina, all centred around Mayflower Park.
Instead of overnighting in the busy city while the festival is on, check out campsites near the Southampton Boat Show. There are lakeside pitches for water enthusiasts, as well as coastal parks overlooking the Solent’s shimmering waters. Alternatively, mix things up with an inland stay in the postcard-worthy South Downs or New Forest.
You could also browse campsites near the Southampton Boat Show based on your travelling companions. Bring a four-legged friend along to a dog-friendly park, keep the kids entertained at a place with a play area, or settle down with friends in a spot where campfires are allowed.
