PATS 2025 – the Pet & Aquatics Trade Show – will stage its biggest ever show as it moves to its new home of Hall 1 of the NEC Birmingham. The three-day event will take place from Sunday, 28th September to Tuesday, 30th September 2025, with pet & aquatics retailers and garden centres being invited to register for free entry.
More than 300 companies and brands have already booked stand space, and the final total is expected to be well over 400, which will be a PATS record.
“The demand for stand space at PATS has been phenomenal - PATS 2025 is already larger than when the doors opened on the show last year,” said PATS event director Gordon Thomas.
“Registration for visitors is now open on our website so all pet retailers and buyers can now sign up for their free show entry.”
Showcasing all the latest launches under one roof, the show’s reputation has grown impressively over the past 16 years since launching in 2009. With such a winning formula, PATS has become the ‘must-visit’ event for UK and international retailers and buyers.
If retailers and buyers need more encouragement to register now for free entry to the three-day exhibition, here’s just a quick summary of the popular visitor attractions:
- The biggest ever New Product Showcase
- The Aquatics Zone, a dedicated area for aquatics, watergardening and reptile exhibitors
- The New Starter Zone, a space hosting new businesses and start-ups
- Top groomers giving insightful demonstrations, workshops and talks
- Unrivalled show offers and competitions
- Free entry and free show catalogue
PATS 2025 is also being staged alongside BETA International, the leading equestrian trade show taking place in Hall 2 at the NEC on Sunday, 28th September and Monday, 29th September 2025. It means that retailers and buyers will be able to visit both shows, and to make things simple visitors will only have to register once, with BETA International visitors being given access to PATS and vice versa.
