Why Exhibit?

Over 4875 babies were born at Bath RUH in 2006 and almost 10,000 babies at the two maternity hospitals in Bristol. And these statistics don’t take into account home births and births at smaller maternity units.

Exhibiting at the Little Monster Baby & Toddler Show is an extremely cost effective method of reaching your target market. For less than the cost of a small advertisement in a national magazine, you can speak directly to your target audience and showcase your products and services. It’s a great opportunity to increase your brand’s awareness, market your products/services face to face and drive direct sales. Plus, create new customer leads for future business, conduct market research and make new business contacts.

Venue

Bath Race Course is a well known and convenient venue with a large amount of passing traffic, particularly on a Sunday because of the very popular car boot sale at Lansdown. Stands are situated within a large semi-permanent marquee which has a solid floor, power and is easily accessible for buggies.

There's a café in the building adjacent to the marquee, and a demonstration room for demonstrations and activities throughout the day.

There is ample free parking for cars. Bath Racecourse is very easily accessible from Bath, Bristol and the M4.
