Please be advised that there are a number of changes in place due to extensive building works. In planning your stand set-up and breakdown please also refer to Deliveries and Timings

The Show is located on the first floor of the West Hall and so goods loading is via two lifts. The following dimensions and weight restrictions are for the larger of the two lifts.

Maximum lift dimensions:

If you are arriving by public transport or on foot, which we actively encourage, please refer to the Deliveries and Timings section and ensure that you do not arrive outside of those times as you will, unfortunately, be refused admission. During build-up and breakdown access to the Show is via the main entrance on Blythe Road.
