SPATEX 2027

SPATEX returns to the Coventry Building Society Arena from 2 to 4 February 2027, the UK's only dedicated exhibition for the swimming pool, spa, wellness and water leisure sector. It's presented by the British Swimming Pool Federation and has been running for more than 30 years, so it's a well-established fixture for anyone working in the trade.

Over the three days, the show brings together manufacturers, suppliers, installers, designers, operators and end users under one roof, with exhibitors flying in from eleven countries. It's a broad cross-section of the industry, from the people who build the pools to the ones who run them. Sustainability and energy efficiency are among the key themes of this edition, so expect a good deal of the talk to be around how the sector is adapting to lower energy use.

Beyond the stands, there's a substantial educational side to it. The organisers have programmed more than 23 hours of free education and training alongside a double seminar programme, so you can pick up some actual learning while you're there rather than just browsing. It's a trade show, but it's open to anyone with an interest in the sector, and the training is part of the package.

The venue is the Coventry Building Society Arena, home of Coventry City Football Club, which has more than 20,000 square metres of flexible event space to hold it all. It's free to attend, and the seminars are free too, so there's no ticket to worry about before you head down.
