SPATEX 2026, the UK’s only dedicated water leisure show, is a showcase for those involved in construction and looking to add a little extra. Whether its wellness suites, water features, saunas, steam rooms, swimming pools, hot tubs, ice baths, or enclosures, for either the commercial or domestic sector, SPATEX has it all.  Free to attend, this bumper 30^th anniversary edition runs from Tuesday 3rd to Thursday 5th February at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

SPATEX – the architect of water leisure

1. See the UK’s biggest water leisure showcase under one roof – As the BIGGEST showcase of water leisure ever held in this country, you can view, touch and discuss a galaxy of products, many water-filled and in action. All the ancillary equipment (eg tiling, paving, chemicals, lighting, heating, and ventilation), will also be on display. Over 125 companies will be exhibiting, including all the leading water leisure manufacturers and suppliers from around the world, plus many new companies.
2. Transform your projects – just add water: SPATEX is bursting with trends and ideas of how adding water can be transformative. A New Product Zone provides a useful summary of the innovations set to make headlines in 2026. See the practical application of some of these ground-breaking innovations – BSPF (the British Swimming Pool Federation) will be hosting the SPATA and BISHTA Awards at a lavish gala dinner on the Tuesday evening, showcasing the best examples of design, construction, and installation. Photos of the winning projects will also be on display on stand H21, providing design inspiration and a bounty of ideas.
3. Upskill with CPD accredited workshops – SPATEX will host a free-to-attend double seminar programme featuring a diverse range of topics. The programme includes the ISPE (Institute of Swimming Pool Engineers) workshop programme in Arena 1 where CPD points and certificates of attendance are issued to all attendees. See spatex.co.uk for full details.
4. Save money, time and energy: SPATEX 2026 puts sustainability and energy efficiency at the heart of its proceedings. It’s crucial to consider energy-saving strategies during the design phase, making this event essential for architects, builders, and specifiers. You can explore the newest energy-efficient products, including variable speed pumps, heat retention covers, LED lighting, air source heat pumps, and highly insulated one-piece pools. It’s a topic that will be further reinforced in topics aired in the two seminar arenas.
5. Join the BIG water leisure conversation – Make contacts and raise your company’s profile. Bring your plans with you – there’s no better place to seek impartial advice from a variety of specialists, and all for free.

SPATEX provides 2,000 free car parking spaces for its visitors at Coventry Building Society Arena – centrally located, it is within two-hour drive time of 75 per cent of the population.
