FREE ADMISSION - 10.00am - 3.30pm

It's hard to believe that the Tourism & Leisure Show is now in its 17th year, and continues to be a driving force in the group travel industry.

This year's show had the most amount of visitors attend ever, and next year's event promises to match this, if not exceed it!  The show provides visitors with inspiration for great days out and short breaks in the East and South East of England, London & beyond. Over 90 Exhibitors, ranging from riverboat trips to castles, historic houses to high rope adventures, are able to meet visitors first hand, and offer them free advice and literature, and an insight into their wonderful attractions and hotels.

Throughout the day, visitors will also enjoy demonstrations, presentations, give-aways and tastings of food produced in Essex, including the wonderful jam and scones from Wilkins of Tiptree. Visitors can also take part in the competition run by Visit Essex, which will offer some fabulous prizes, and the numerous other competitions organised by the exhibitors.

There are also free gifts given out between 2.30pm - 3.30pm by some exhibitors, so grab yourself a momento - vouchers will be given out on the main doors!  Each visitor will also be given an exhibitor catalogue, so if you miss someone on the day you will have the means of contacting them after the show.

Florida Coaches will run courtesy coaches from Witham railway station to the venue, on the hour and half hour starting from 9.30am.

Kirby's Coaches will also be running a coach to the venue which will leave their depot in Rayleigh at 10.00am, however, there will be other pick-ups within Essex.

Mann's Coaches of Kent will also be providing a courtesy coach to and from the Show, with pick-ups throughout Kent - please call 01474 358194 to book your place.
