More than 300 exhibitors have now signed up for this year’s Pet & Aquatics Trade Show (PATS 2024), making it the biggest event in the show’s 16-year history.
Stand space at the three-day show is almost sold, with only three stands remaining at the time of going to press. The show will take over all four exhibition halls at the Telford International Centre for the three-day event, which starts on Sunday September 29.
With a record-breaking number of exhibitors, PATS 2024 will also feature its biggest ever New Product Showcase of pet, aquatic and watergardening products. All entries will be judged by an independent panel of retailers and retail experts to determine the winners of the New Product Awards, sponsored by PBW News. The show will also feature a full programme of pet grooming talks, demos, workshops and competitions and dedicated zones for aquatic-focused and start-up companies.
Organiser Gordon Thomas of Impact Exhibitions and Events said: “The demand for stand space at PATS has been phenomenal, with many companies booking larger stands as they seek to take advantage of the new three-day format.
“With the addition of the Aquatics Zone and a bigger New Starter Zone, the exhibition will cover the whole of the Telford International Centre, and now we have smashed the 300-exhibitor mark it will be the biggest PATS show ever.”
Visitor registration is now open on the exhibition’s new-look website at www.patshow.co.uk.
