These give you and your staff access to the show venue, both for stand building, breakdown and when the show is open. Five are sent out to each company and more can be picked up from the Organisers Office if needed. They are not personalised and are sent upon payment of final invoice.
Deliveries/Pickups
If you have a courier delivering items for your stand please ensure that you have a member of staff on site to take delivery. With over 100 companies at the event we cannot take responsibility for ensuring it reaches your stand location. For pick up, a member of staff should also be on-site to ensure that the courier collects the correct package.
Off Loading
Please follow directions from our staff who will try and get you into a good location to offload. Once completed, vehicles should be removed to the car park to free up space for others to offload.

Break-down Time
Break-down time is from 6 pm – 10 pm on Sunday and by special arrangement from 8 am to 12 noon on Monday. Please note that any stands built by our stand contractors will be dismantled on the Sunday evening. At no stage will there be any break-down before or after these times. All stands and products must be removed from the hall before 12 noon. Any items remaining after this time will be removed and a charge made. Please get in touch if this gives you any difficulty.
Space only
A Space Only stand does not have any walls, company name board or lights. However, it does come with a Double Socket. It is the customer’s responsibility to build a freestanding wall or structure and not rely on other nearby or surrounding stands either for support or to provide a dividing wall.
Shell Scheme / Hard Shell
Shell Scheme and Hard Shell stands are provided by our stand contractors, ECS Ltd. For Shell Scheme they use the Octanorm system to provide you with panelled white walls. For the Hard Shell they use Melamine Faced Chipboard and the walls are finished in white. Both stand options come with a company name, light and double socket, except in the Artist & Maker Village and Artisan Food Shop where there is no socket provided.
Health & Safety
Creating a safe environment for both exhibitors, visitors and contractors is an important part of a successful event and is something we take very seriously. The SITE RULES for The Venue are available at the end of this document. Please note that exhibitions fall under the Construction, Design & Management (CDM) Regulations. Exhibitors are responsible for appointing a competent contractor (which well may be your own company) and for ensuring that you have all you need to create a structurally sound stand. A detailed summary of Exhibitor responsibilities under CDM are available here.
