The UK Venue Show will launch next year, running alongside the Event Production Show on 1 – 2 February at Olympia.

"We anticipate over 250 exhibitors and 5,000 visitors over two days in year one - with lots of exciting plans still to be announced," said UK Venue Show event director Tanya Cohen.

The Association of Event Venues (AEV) is supporting the exhibition.

"We feel that the UK Venue Show fills a gap in the market, left by the loss of some exhibitions and significant changes to others," said Millbrook Events head of events Kevin Leaver who is planning on exhibiting at the show.
