PATS and BETA International will run side by side in Halls 1 and 2 at the NEC respectively on Sunday, September 28, and Monday, September 29, while PATS will also take place on a third day, Tuesday, September 30.
It means that buyers will be able to explore new products from the biggest and most comprehensive range of suppliers in the pet, aquatics, equestrian and country sectors during their visit to the NEC, with PATS set to attract over 400 exhibitors and BETA International over 250.
Both PATS and BETA International will retain their most popular features at this year’s events. The Aquatics Zone featuring the UK’s leading aquatics, watergardening and reptile companies, will return to PATS after a successful launch in 2024, while the New Starter Zone will host a growing number of start-up businesses.
The New Product Showcases will also be a major visitor attraction during PATS and BETA International, offering retailers a great opportunity to see and touch the new products they will be stocking for the coming season.
PATS will be presenting grooming demonstrations, workshops and talks throughout the show while BETA International will feature talks by leading equestrian figures in the seminar theatre.
Registration for free entry to both events will open in March, and to make things simple visitors will only have to register once, with BETA International visitors being given access to PATS and vice versa.
