TO EXHIBIT A BOAT
Please choose from the following options:
Floating Marina Space
Exhibiting your boat on the water in Crick Marina is one of the best ways to showcase your company. The marina is at the heart of the show and the floating berths are always in high demand. We welcome both narrowboats and wide beams. Wide beams are charged for the additional berth space they require. Demand for this space is commonly greater than availability, so it is highly recommended that bookings are made as early as possible to secure your preferred berth and to avoid disappointment.
Land-based Marina Space
The land-based marina is the centrepiece of the Show Village. Exhibiting in this area allows visitors to inspect the hull and undertake a supervised visit through the boat’s interior. This position is ideal if you are bringing a wide-beam boat to the Show. A marquee can be erected at one end of the ‘berth’ to ensure visitors receive your full attention.
TO EXHIBIT OUTSIDE
Please choose from the following:
Outdoor Quayside
One of the most popular areas on the event site. Situated on hard standing around the marina and in close proximity to our floating exhibits, this location enjoys excellent footfall and unique selling opportunities. Pitch sizes can be customised, but are subject to a minimum depth of 3m.
Outdoor Show Village
Located in the centre of the show, nestled between the marina and the Waterways World Boating Marquee, this is a superb location to attract the crowds. The Show Village is on grass and space is available at customised sizes with marquee hire available – please see booking form for details. All pitches are sold in whole metre increments only.
TO EXHIBIT INSIDE
Please choose from the following:
The Waterways World Boating Marquee
The Waterways World Boating Marquee is the largest indoor exhibition area at the Crick Boat Show; exhibiting inside this main marquee is an excellent option with the greatest footfall of visitors each day. The marquee is light, spacious and fully carpeted and there are a range of stand sizes and locations. A carefully devised layout and a wide variety of businesses exhibiting ensure that visitors have plenty to choose from and the marquee remains busy throughout the Show, whatever the weather.
The Food & Craft Marquee
A separate marquee for food and craft traders and exhibitors. The marquee has flooring throughout. This is an ideal low-cost opportunity to make an impact at the Show whilst keeping valuable stock under cover. Stand prices do not include power, which can be ordered separately. There can be no cooking of food in this marquee.
