PATS 2011 – exhibitors, products and new ideas in abundance

Visitors to PATS 2011 will find more exhibitors and more products on display than ever before. Both PATS Sandown Park and PATS Harrogate have expanded to additional halls to accommodate increased demand for space, and new features are introduced at both venues.

PATS Sandown Park has extended to incorporate both Surrey Hall and Esher Hall. In Harrogate, the show will move into Hall C as well as Halls A and B, and the much-loved Royal Hall. At both venues the space is needed to accommodate new exhibitors, companies who have previously taken advantage of PATS’ north-south opportunities and now wish to exhibit at both venues and others who are returning after initially supporting 2009’s launch shows.

PATS 2011 will incorporate new and extended show features designed to create increased opportunities for exhibitors and visitors to interact at the show, thereby adding even more value for everyone concerned. Retailers will be able to view products within relevant and idea-stimulating settings, while exhibitors will have the opportunity to demonstrate products that complement the ranges displayed on their own stands – all completely free of charge.
