SPATEX, the UK’s only dedicated annual water leisure expo, is preparing to stage a mega edition, Tuesday 3rd to Thursday 5th February 2026, in celebration of its milestone 30-year anniversary of showcasing the water leisure industry.
Bigger show: Thanks to a record number of companies eager to participate, the team has expanded the floor plan to maximise every inch of the exhibition hall. This means more names and brands to see, more opportunities, and more connections to be made.
Bigger team: Planning for a bigger show has called for an expansion of our small-knit team. SPATEX has appointed a dynamic Head of Operations, Kayleigh Biggs, who has 15 years’ experience of working at the venue, to work under the expert tutelage of Show Organiser, Michele Bridle, from September.
Bold design: “We are excited to unveil our eye-catching 30th anniversary design,” says Michele. “It’s an incredibly exciting time at SPATEX as we celebrate three decades. It’s a history we’re proud of. We’ve established ourselves as the UK’s only dedicated, showcase of the industry. We toast the past, but we look to the future as we grow to meet the demands of our exhibitors and visitors. This new design is the perfect symbol of our heritage as we take the next steps in our journey as a vital part of the water leisure landscape, both in the UK and beyond. The design will feature across our social media and, of course, our newly designed website, coming mid-June. SPATEX 2026 will be a show like no other and I invite you to join us for a unique, and unforgettable experience.”
Join us for an international industry extravaganza!
In bringing together under one roof the water leisure community from all corners of the globe, we plan to celebrate in style and make it a BIG reunion. We love to party and the now famous SPATEX Networking Party, taking place at 5pm on the Wednesday Feb 4th, with free drinks, canapes and gifts for all visitors and exhibitors, will feature a new pearl anniversary twist.
