Why Exhibit?

Crick Boat Show is the ideal opportunity to showcase your business. Located in the scenic setting of one of the country’s most sought-after marinas, and with an extensive range of boats, boating businesses and waterway activities, Crick Boat Show is the biggest inland boat show in the UK, and has been a focal point of the inland waterways calendar for more than 20 years.

After the success of previous Trade & Preview Days, the 2023 Crick Boat Show will again hold this event for inland waterway business visitors and for Preview Day ticket holders on the preceding Froday.

Trade & Preview Day, Friday 26 May 2023 

The Trade & Preview Day, on the Friday before the Show opens fully to the public gives:

  • two hours at the start of the day for boating industry suppliers, customers and boatbuilders to meet each other while there is no public admittance.
  • from 12 noon to 6pm, up to 1,000 pre-booked visitors the opportunity to view boats and talk to equipment and service suppliers in depth, but at a relaxed pace.
  • more time for exhibitors to promoting their business, products and services to trade press.
  • free to attend seminar and workshop sessions on technical and management topics.
  • drinks reception for exhibitors at the end of Trade & Preview Day

We have constrained the cost of taking part in Trade & Preview Day with only very modest additional stand costs to that of being at the Show for the three days that are fully open to the public.

For Trade & Preview Day, the Show site is zoned (see site plan) to keep areas available for exhibitors who wish to take part for the traditional three days Satruday to Monday only.

Set up times will be adjusted to manage smoothly those exhibiting for the extra day, while also offering other exhbitors access to the Show site for set up on the Friday and on Satruday morning.
