This past week has seen a flood of exhibitors booking into this year’s Tackle & Guns Show as the trade embraces the Ricoh Arena and the new dates of September 11th and 12th, 2016.

Fly fishing’s biggest distributor, Guide Flyfishing, has taken a significant presence next to the casting pool, while The Angling Group (Taska, Nutrabaits and Kryston) has booked 135 square metres to show its impressive array of products. These have been joined by the UK’s biggest bait brand, Dynamite Baits.

Show organiser Dean Rothery says: “The interest this week has been huge as news has got out of some of the initiatives we are laying on this year to attract retailers. We shall be organising buses around the country to pick retailers up, bring them to the show and deliver them back to the drop-off points, making it as easy as possible for retailers to get to Coventry.” (limited number of seats available / subject to demand)

Dean adds that the new price structure is working really well. “The move to the Ricoh Arena has allowed us cost savings that we are passing on to exhibitors. For example, last year a 3×3 square metres space only stand would have cost £1,071 + vat. This year the cost is £621 + vat. “Currently the show is 60 per cent booked and we have a number of companies that have made contact, so it looks like it could very well be sold out,” adds Dean.
