Shell Scheme Stand Build: 3.00pm – 9.00pm
The vast majority of our exhibitors have booked a Shell Scheme Stand so must adhere to the above timings. Please do not arrive outside of these hours – you will, unfortunately, be refused access and there can be no exceptions. We encourage you to arrive by public transport but if it is essential that you come by car or van then you MUST book a vehicle pass. Please note the vehicle management system will be live W/C 10th April. You are urged to make your booking as soon as possible as failure to do so may result in a lack of unloading/loading slot availability. Failure to do so will result in your entry being refused. Please refer to the Shell Scheme Stand information.
Space Only Stand Build: 11.00am – 9.00pm
Space only exhibitors and their contractors may have access to the Hall at this time only if your pre-submitted plans have been approved. If arriving by car or van then you MUST book a vehicle pass. Failure to do so will result in your entry being refused. Please refer to requirement for our Space Only Stands.
