Organisers Lance Publications report that stand space is being filled by a wide range of event suppliers based in the North, indicating that the exhibition will achieve its aim of providing a show focused on the needs of the region. The show is offering both indoor and outdoor exhibition space, utilizing the permanent facilities of the Great Yorkshire Showground, and will cater for a wide range of event suppliers and organizers.
The show has been borne out of response to questionnaires and requests from event professionals in the North of England and Scotland to bring Showman’s North to serve their part of the country. The visitor marketing campaign is focused on event and show organizers based in the region and once again advance registrations indicate visitors from all aspects of the events industry will attend.
The show’s manager, Jeremy Lance commented: "Our plans are more modest than the Newbury Show, but in response to business demand, we will strive to create a forum whereby events practitioners in the North can conduct business and promote themselves. Initial feedback is very encouraging."
