The organisers of Spatex, the industry-backed UK pool and spa trade show, have confirmed that the 2013 event is to be held in its current venue in Brighton on 2–4 February 2013.

This confirmation follows the recent meeting and survey for past and current Spatex exhibitors designed to seek their views on the venue, timing, frequency and format of the event.

The organisers emphasise that Spatex is the only wet leisure trade exhibition endorsed and supported by SPATA (Swimming Pool and Allied Trade Association), BISHTA (British and Irish Hot Tub Association), BSPF (British Swimming Pool Federation), PIP (Pool Industry Promotion) and ISPE (Institute of Swimming Pool Engineers).
