From its humble beginnings at the Metropole Exhibition Centre on Brighton’s seafront, three decades on, SPATEX can proudly claim to be the UK's only dedicated international water leisure show, and growing!
As the exhibition arm of the British Swimming Pool Federation (BSPF), SPATEX has a rich history that is unique among trade exhibitions because it was created by the industry, for the industry, with a commitment to reinvesting profits back into the sector rather than operating purely as a commercial event
Over 30 years, SPATEX has evolved from a relatively small industry gathering into the UK's largest showcase.
SPATEX now attracts exhibitors and visitors from across the UK, Europe and beyond. The 2026 event welcomed visitors from 25 countries and exhibitors from 13 nations.
For 30 years, SPATEX has been the beating heart of the UK water leisure industry. Founded by the industry, for the industry, it has grown into the UK's only dedicated international pool, spa and wellness exhibition, while reinvesting more than £2 million back into education, training and industry development.
