Registration for the Pet & Aquatics Trade Show (PATS 2025) is now open for visitors.
The three-day event will take place on September 28-30 at its new home of Hall 1 of the NEC Birmingham, and pet & aquatics retailers and garden centres are being invited to register for free entry.
More than 300 companies and brands have already booked stand space, and the final total is expected to be well over 400, which will be a new record high for the 16-year history of the trade show.
As well as the exhibition stands, visitor attractions include the biggest-ever New Product Showcase; The Aquatics Zone, a dedicated area for aquatics, watergardening and reptile exhibitors; The New Starter Zone, a space hosting new businesses and start-ups; and a series of demonstrations, workshops and talks by top groomers.
PATS 2025 is also being staged alongside BETA International, the leading equestrian trade show taking place in Hall 2 at the NEC on September 28-29. Visitors will only have to register once to visit both shows.
PATS event director Gordon Thomas said: “The demand for stand space at PATS has been phenomenal – PATS 2025 is already larger than when the doors opened on the show last year.
“Registration for visitors is now open on our website so all pet retailers and buyers can now sign up for their free show entry.”
