The ‘irreversible’ Government roadmap has given us an expectation that we will be able to host two outstanding Christmas Fairs this year. That said, we are understandably still planning to take sensible precautions and we have removed some stands from busier areas to allow for better flow. If this is your usual stand we will do our best to accommodate you in your preferred new position. This will allow us to introduce some one-way systems and wider aisles, and we thank you for your understanding and co-operation with this. Our health and safety policy will be updated in line with Government advice as time goes on and will be shared with you, together with all Covid-safe requirements, when your exhibitor packs are distributed in the autumn.
Our cancellation terms and conditions remain as previously.
