In light of the recent UK government route-map out of lockdown, organisers of PATS Sandown, which was due to take place in May, have announced that the show has been cancelled.

In a statement, organisers said: “With the government plan for restarting live events from May 17, 2021, over the coming months PATS will continue to provide an invaluable facility for the trade via the PATS website – with new product launches, industry news and updates, exhibitor promotions, plus new content and services.

“PATS is the place for the pet industry to come together as one to share knowledge, experience and new ideas, so do make use of the website until we can all get together physically at PATS Telford in September.”

PATS Telford will return in September 2021, taking place on Sunday, September 26 and Monday, September 27. PATS Sandown 2022 will take place on March 27-28, 2022.
