PATS Sandown, the UK’s spring pet industry exhibition, will no longer take place due to ongoing government restrictions.
The event was set to take place on 11 and 12 May 2021, but will now no longer happen following the prime minister’s announcement that indoor events will not be allowed until 17 May.
Organiser Gordon Thomas, director of Impact Exhibitions and Events, said: “Obviously, the PM’s announcement meant that PATS Sandown could no longer go ahead on its planned dates of 11th-12th May.
“We could have looked at moving PATS Sandown to a later date but felt the best option was
to focus attention on staging a great exhibition at PATS Telford on 26 and 27 September.”
He added: “More than 100 companies have already committed to exhibiting at Telford, a clear indication that the pet industry can’t wait for a return to ‘live’ shows.”
