Organisers of the GLT Show have already confirmed a large uptake of exhibitor stands for next year’s event, which will take place on 8th October 2026 and return to the popular Arena MK venue in Milton Keynes.
A number of 2025 exhibitors have decided to take larger stands in 2026 and a variety of new exhibitors have also taken the opportunity to book now and secure their preferred stand location.
Sales director, Sharon Yandell said: “It’s really pleasing to see exhibitors rebooking for 2026 in such large volumes and we have 50% more exhibitors reserving stand space at this time this year, compared to the same period in 2024.
“This follows a successful event and many testimonials from both exhibitors and visitors, confirming that the 2025 event hit the spot and facilitated important face-to-face contact between venues, tour operators, plus a myriad of other specialist exhibitors who had a unique opportunity to meet quality GTOs and coach operators at an important time of year for forward planning.”

“Visitors are attracted by the show’s unique content including our celebrity seminars, and my thanks go to our exhibitors who helped create a fun and vibrant event that allowed people to discover ideas and special offers, with many departing afterwards having found something new and exciting.
“Our venue at Milton Keynes continues to provide a popular location and our free bacon butty breakfast and light lunch is much appreciated by everyone.”

The 2025 show was no exception; the feedback has been very positive and we pride ourselves on creating a brilliant experience for both visitors and exhibitors.
