Would love to tell you about the rest of the show from personal experience but as I only managed to get off the stand at 330pm on the Sunday I didn’t see much, if any of it!!
However as show’s go this is the best we have ever done!
Easy to access
Easy to park and free
Cheap to get in.
For us Easy to unload/set-up/tear down/exit
Excellent food onsite
Huge range of exhibitors from boot care to bullets, optics to outfitters.
Lots of Social areas where likeminded souls can sit around talking **** over a pint!!
Exhibition/Demonstration areas were always well filled with bums on seats.
From my perspective it is more than worth attending.
If we had brought more stuff we would have sold it
We took shotguns and sold them.
We had multiple enquiries for rimfire ammo and air pellets!
We sold catapults, we sold range bags, we sold shotgun cleaning kits, lamps and fox calls.
It doesn’t have to be all directly linked to deer!!
These shows rely on support from both sides, exhibitors and punters coming through the doors.
Turn out was excellent.
The footfall would now rival some of the National shows with a wider appeal.
To achieve that in two years is amazing.
I wish Dave and Deanne and the Stalking Show team all luck with continuing to grow what could become one of the dominant National shows in the Calendar.
We will be there next year with more stuff and more staff!!
