What does SPATEX really mean to those who attend it? From energy to innovation, and from camaraderie to serious business, SPATEX means something different to everyone.

30 years of innovation, connection and shared experience

For its 30^th anniversary edition in 2026, SPATEX invited professionals to share, in just a few words, what this UK water leisure event truly represents. The result? A dynamic video packed with warmth, energy, and authenticity.

"It's the highlight of my year."
"It's about welcoming new people into the industry."
"The best place to introduce something new."
"So well organised, I can't recommend it highly enough."

These spontaneous testimonials capture the essence of what makes SPATEX so much more than just a trade show.

It's a meeting point for the whole UK water leisure community, where business, innovation and human connection go hand in hand. From product launches and technical training to spontaneous chats in the aisles, SPATEX is where ideas take shape and partnerships begin.

To mark its anniversary, the 2026 edition promises to be more festive than ever, with the traditional Networking Party on Wednesday at 5pm, followed by a bandeoke-fuelled After Party at 7pm in the Arena's Clubhouse, complete with curry, games and prizes. Tickets for the After Party can be reserved by contacting [email protected].

Whether you're a returning exhibitor, a first-time visitor, a supplier or a technician, SPATEX 2026 is shaping up to be an unforgettable edition. Join us at the Coventry Building Society Arena, 6-8 February 2026.
