We are still in the same venue and the same two halls as last year, which are flat and easily accessible for wheelchairs, mobility scooters & prams.

We now have an Exhibition of 31,000 square feet, this has enabled us to alleviate the problem of overcrowding and equally important we have a Coffee Shop / Refreshment Area within the larger LTA Hall.

The Licensed Bar serving hot food will still be available in Cafe Life (formally Champions Bar), this has been totally refurbished and now has seating and tables for 60 people.
