Strong take-up for PATS

With five months still to go until show opening day, Pats Sandown, which takes place from 19 to 20 March 2013, is 83 per cent full. Visiting pet retailers will benefit not only from a huge gathering of pet trade suppliers but also free show entry, plentiful free parking, a free catalogue and a free programme of seminars and dog grooming demonstrations, says the fair organiser, Impact Exhibitions & Events. PATS Sandown originally took place in a single hall – the Surrey Hall – but for the third year running the show’s popularity dictates the need for it to fill both Surrey and Esher Halls. Both halls have their own entrances and registration points.
