Organisers of PATS Sandown, which celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this year, have moved to a new date for the show in 2019. The pet trade exhibition will now be held on Sunday, February 10 and Monday, February 11, again at Sandown Park, Surrey.

Organiser Gordon Thomas said: “We are delighted to announce brand new show dates for PATS Sandown in 2019. After extensive research among our buyers, we are altering the open days to a Sunday and Monday. This will offer PATS exhibitors a broader range of visitors and align Sandown with the Telford open days

“The new show dates will allow exhibitors to launch their new products to the trade at PATS Sandown, thereby making certain that retailers stock their products in time for consumers at Crufts. It will also avoid any clash with international shows.”

PATS Telford will be held at the Telford International Centre in Shropshire on September 23-24.
