Child admission policy

We kindly ask that children under 18 only attend the event with prior agreement between their parent/guardian and the organisers. As the exhibition is primarily a place of business, it may not be the most suitable environment for young visitors. 

There are a few important health and safety considerations to be aware of, including large crowds and the sampling of alcohol. Please keep these in mind when deciding whether to bring a young child. For the safety and comfort of everyone, children under 2 must be in a pram, pushchair, or baby carrier. Unfortunately, entry cannot be granted without one of these. On arrival, please visit the organisers’ office, where you’ll be asked to sign a waiver confirming that you understand the health and safety considerations involved in bringing a child into the show. Without a signed waiver, we’re unable to permit entry. Please note, there are no crèche or childcare facilities available at the event. 

This policy applies to show open hours only, as no children will be allowed into the hall during the build-up and dismantling of the event.
