The Pet Show tickets go on sale
 

Tickets have gone on sale for The Pet Show, which claims to be the UK's largest indoor and outdoor family pet show. It takes place on July 20-21 at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire.

The show is expecting to attract 20,000 visitors at its debut outing. Stoneleigh Park offers over 21,000 square metres of indoor exhibition space, and will make use of the venue’s Olympic size equine arenas.

Four charity partners, each representing a zone at the show, have also now been chosen to work alongside the organisers over the course of the next few months, and will benefit from ticket sales, with a percentage of every ticket sold via their own website going towards helping them continue their vital work. They are The British Hen Welfare Trust, Wood Green The Animals Charity, The Pet Education Trust and The British Horse Society.

The show will be packed full of hundreds of different attractions. Sponsors for the show confirmed to date include James Wellbeloved and Royal Canin and a number of unique events are set to take place at the show, including The Dog Agility Open Grand Finals 2013.

Stoneleigh Park was chosen by the event organisers Complete-Publishing Ltd due to its ability to host large scale events, flexible indoor and outdoor space and central location.

Show Director Ian Sear said: “As soon as we knew we were going to launch the show, there was really only one venue we had in mind. Stoneleigh Park is within easy driving distance of so many places and there are 30,000 free car parking spaces, so it can cater for an event on our scale.

“But the most important deciding factor was the variety of inside and outdoor space available, which allows us to put on a more interesting and full show for our visitors – for example, we will be the only pet show which will be able to include Shire horse displays.”
