Aquatics in the spotlight in Telford

The new Aquatics Zone – a dedicated hall for aquatics, reptile and aquatic horticulture exhibitors – will be one of the highlights of the three-day Pats in Telford (29 September to 1 October). Nearly 40 of the UK's leading aquarium, terrarium and aquatic horticulture exhibitors are expected to attend. With exhibitor numbers in the aquatics sector declining in many places, the organisers of Pats have made a good move.

"To reflect the importance of this new addition to Pats, the Aquatics Zone will have its own catering area and new product showcase," says Pats organiser Gordon Thomas.
