Exhibitors List
At our Shows, unlike most, exhibitors are handpicked and invited to attend because of their fantastic reputations, high quality products or services and great value for money. Throughout the year, use this as a directory of quality suppliers ideally suited for your special day … and tell your friends!
The Exhibitors who attended our recent Spring or Autumn Shows are listed below. Not all exhibitors attend each Show, therefore we recommend that you try to attend all of our events at Uttoxeter Racecourse, The Britannia Stadium and Bridgemere Garden World … they are very different! We welcome feedback on the exhibitors via our comments page to ensure they remain of a high standard. If you want to know if a specific exhibitor will be present at a forthcoming show please just get in touch with us and we will happily advise you.
