The British pet trade show Pats has achieved the highest attendance figures in the show's history with its first ever three-day show in Telford: 3 541 trade visitors came to the Telford International Centre, an increase of 52 per cent on the previous record set last year.
For show director Gordon Thomas, the record attendance and the highest number of exhibitors of more than 340 is testament to the popularity of the event: "Overall, the response to Pats has been excellent and positive, proving that the pet industry is firmly behind this show." According to him, the news that the next Pats will move to Birmingham has also been greeted with enthusiasm by both exhibitors and visitors.
The next Pats will take place in Birmingham on 28-30 September 2025.
