More than 340 pet brands exhibiting in four halls over three days have created the biggest-ever PATS in the show’s 15-year history.
The Pet & Aquatics Trade Show is taking place at the Telford International Centre in Shropshire from Sunday (29th September) until Tuesday (1st October).
It is the only event in the UK where buyers from specialist pet stores and garden centres can view all the latest product launches under one roof.
As well as meeting up with a long list of PATS regulars, visitors will be greeted by a host of new faces and new products. A growing number of companies are choosing to exhibit for the first time as they see PATS as the perfect place to announce their future plans.
With the addition of an Aquatics Zone and a bigger New Starter Zone, this year’s exhibition will cover the whole of the Telford International Centre.
PATS is the ideal venue for visiting retailers to discover what’s new in the market and an ideal opportunity to talk to manufacturers and suppliers.
The New Product Showcase will again be a popular feature of the show as it gives visitors the chance to see and touch the new products they will be stocking for the coming season.
Entries to the Showcase will be judged by a panel of retailers for the New Product Awards on the first morning of the show, so the results will be known and highlighted throughout the four halls for the rest of the exhibition.
As well as seeing a huge array of new pet products and speaking to the key suppliers and manufacturers, visitors will also be able to witness demonstrations from the country’s leading dog groomers.
To help make the visitor experience even more enjoyable and rewarding, PATS offers free show entry, free parking for up to 1,300 cars, a free catalogue and many special exhibitor deals.
There will also be a wide range of food available, and visitors will receive a complimentary cup of tea or coffee.
With good catering facilities and plenty of seating areas taken care of, visitors can concentrate fully on the main business of the day – seeing top-class products from the biggest range of suppliers and manufacturers…all under one roof.
A full and up-to-date list of exhibitors is available on the website www.patshow.co.uk together with information on how to reach the venue and regularly updated show news.
