Bigger and better than ever.

It’s an overused proverb, but with hundreds of exhibitors and on a scale never achieved before, it rings true for this year’s Shepparton Great Outdoor and 4x4 Expo.

GTR Events expo and commercial manager Ben Annear said the expo had a massive line-up of caravans, camper-vans, camper trailers, boats, four-wheel drives and everything in between.

“The show runs for three days (Friday to Sunday), and with a tip-top weather forecast we’re expecting massive crowds to come to the Shepparton Showgrounds and enjoy the show,” he said.

“The big thing is we’re extending the footprint of the show — it’s the largest show we’ve delivered in the Shepparton Showgrounds in terms of exhibitors and the physical size of the expo.

“We have more than 100 exhibitors, camper-trailers people can take their time to walk through, lots of dealers doing show specials, a number of boat sellers, motorbikes ... you could sum it up with the phrase boys’ toys and girls’ toys.”

Aside from wandering through the wide range of stock from industry-leading exhibitors, there’ll also be retailer demonstrations and food vendors.

Event organisers encourage all, regardless of experience, to come down, chat about all things great outdoors, and see what’s on offer at the biggest Shepparton Great Outdoor and 4x4 Expo in history.

The Shepparton Great Outdoor and 4x4 Expo will be held at the Shepparton Showgrounds this Friday and Saturday from 10am to 5pm and Sunday from 10am to 4pm.

Ticket prices are adults $16, concession $13, and under 16s free (must be accompanied by an adult).

Tickets can be purchased at the gate, accepting cash and EFTPOS, and free on-site parking.
