Discover
New products, services and innovations – with over 125 exhibiting companies, including all the leading water leisure manufacturers and suppliers from around the world, this is the one and only time in the UK that you can see, touch and, in some cases, view in operation, every aspect of water leisure. From saunas, swimming pools, steam rooms, ice baths to enclosures, hot tubs and water features, plus all the ancillary equipment (eg tiling, paving, chemicals, lighting, heating, and ventilation), for both the commercial and domestic sectors, this is the one and only time that you can see them all under one roof in 2026. Furthermore, many stands will offer special visitor discounts.
A New Product Zone provides a useful spotlight on the innovations set to make headlines in the pool season ahead. See the practical application of some of these ground-breaking innovations – BSPF (the British Swimming Pool Federation) will display photographs from its award-winning projects on the new Industry Hub, stand H21.
