Coronavirus Impact 01/3/21
Based on the current UK Government roadmap it is possible that exhibitions and events such as those listed here may be able to be staged again from the second half of June 2021.
This date is still subject to possible delay, which creates a risk for any organisation planning an event shortly after mid June. Added to the challenges of logistics and planning required to organise events it is probably more realistic to expect (or indeed "hope") that the calendar may start to return to some sort of normality from the end of the summer.
Some events are now announcing dates for the late summer and autumn, others are yet to do so. As a result of this uncertainty we will be looking to "update" the calendar with those dates that have been announced, but also leaving placeholders in the calendar each month for events which are yet to announce dates (or indeed whether they will take place this year at all).
So, where specific dates have been given, these have been announced by the organiser.
Please continue to check with the individual event organiser or on each events website or Facebook page before committing to attend any event scheduled at any point in future.
