Welcome Once Again!

British Bead Awards

Big Bead Show now with two dates per year.

The new April 2010 show is now behind us, and what a great day it was. The beautiful sunshine brought beaders out in force to enjoy the wonderful atmosphere around the bustling aisles at Sandown. It was another incredible success, with both exhibitors and the thousands of visitors effusive in their praise.

Show organiser Maria Fitzgerald said "People do seem to love the show at Sandown. They love the wide array of stands, but they also appreciate lots of other things the venue gives, from the easy, free parking through to the large cafe, and the many seating areas."

If you missed the show, don't worry there's the October event to look forward to. 2010 date is 30th October. Stands are almost sold out so Maria advises exhibitors to book their places as soon as possible. Plus, reserve your space now for 2011.

But already you can be sure that both shows, organised by Bead,  the UK’s number one bead magazine, will once again feature the top names in British beading, from makers to suppliers, along with a host of shops. The October show will also feature the prestigious British bead Awards once again.

Demand for tickets is bound to be great for both dates so make sure you book your tickets now. Special early bird offers are available.

Sandown Park is a great venue with a modern exhibition hall and is also easy to get to by car or train.  Access from the motorway network is simple and well sign-posted and once there, the huge car parks offer visitors ample parking space. Located within the M25 it is only 25 minutes by train from London Waterloo.

See you there!
