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 July 19th.
Staging an event after this date is still a complex issue, with challenges of logistics and planning, and of lead-times required to organise events - as well of course as the risk around new restrictions being imposed. It is probably more realistic to expect (or indeed "hope") that the calendar may start to return to some sort of normality in the Autumn.
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.
