SPATEX

At SPATEX you can compare pool, spa, sauna and wellness suppliers side by side over three days, 2 to 4 February 2027, at Coventry Building Society Arena, with free entry, seminars and pre-booked parking. The organiser lists more than 125 exhibiting companies and over 23 hours of free education and training, and your visitor registration covers all three days.

Plan your visit on 2 to 4 February 2027

You get a longer day on Tuesday and Wednesday.

• Tuesday 2 February, 09:30 to 17:00
• Wednesday 3 February, 09:30 to 17:00
• Thursday 4 February, 09:30 to 16:00

Entry is free for trade and non-trade visitors who register online. Badges are not posted, so you print the e-badge and bring it with you. Parking on site is free when you pre-book through the arena website with code SPATEXV27; without pre-booking the venue charges apply. The venue has a cloakroom, food outlets and free Wi-Fi. SPATEX describes itself as a trade exhibition aimed mainly at industry professionals, so you should contact the organiser first if you want to bring children.

Find the products for your next project

You can source pools and pool equipment, hot tubs and swim spas, saunas and steam rooms, hydrotherapy, water treatment, heating and ventilation, and covers, liners and finishes. Many displays are filled with water so you can see equipment running. The 2027 exhibitor list already shows stands from companies such as AstralPool UK, Balboa Water Group, Barr + Wray, Ardex UK and Artesian Spas.

The organiser’s audience runs from architects and pool builders to commercial pool operators, hotels, holiday parks, local authorities, swim schools and retailers. The show sits in our sport and fitness sector, alongside the National Running Show at NEC Birmingham from 30 January 2027 and the Go Diving Show at NAEC Stoneleigh from 27 February 2027.

Earn CPD at free seminars and workshops

You can collect CPD points at no cost, because the double seminar programme is free to every registered visitor and many sessions are accredited. In 2026 it included a Pool Plant Theatre for commercial operators and technical workshops run by the Institute of Swimming Pool Engineers (ISPE). The organiser reports that seminar attendance rose 23% to 737 that year.

You can also put questions directly to trade bodies at the Industry Hub on stand H21, next to Seminar Arena 2. Launched in 2026, it groups STA, RLSS UK, PWTAG, the Institute of Swimming, SPATA and BISHTA on one stand.

A show run by the industry it serves

When you exhibit, SPATEX says its profits go back into the sector rather than the show running purely as a commercial event. SPATEX is the exhibition arm of the British Swimming Pool Federation and says it has reinvested more than £2 million in education, training and industry development. It started at the Metropole Exhibition Centre in Brighton and marked its 30th year in 2026, when, according to the organiser, visitors came from 25 countries and exhibitors from 13 nations.

Exhibit and reach pool and spa buyers

You can choose between two published stand rates, both ex VAT.

Option	Price per sq m	Included
Space only	£268.25	Grey carpet; you build your own stand, with plans submitted for approval
Shell scheme	£320.25	Modular walls with white panels, name board, carpet, spotlights, one 500W socket, a table and two chairs

Our guides on choosing shell scheme or space only and building an exhibition budget can help you decide. Every exhibitor gets an entry in the official Show Guide, a website listing for news and product launches, and free on-site parking. UK exhibitors can spread stand costs by regular BACS or Direct Debit payments, with the final payment due by 30 December 2026; bookings made after 1 November 2026 are payable in full on contract. Space only build starts at 08:30 on Sunday 31 January 2027, all stand holders get access from 08:30 on Monday 1 February, and stands must be ready by 20:00 that evening.

If you are in Coventry for more than one show, the Executive Hire Show follows at the same arena from 10 February 2027. See more trade shows in Coventry.
