SPATEX 2026 – the BIG anniversary edition promises to be unmissable. Adding water to any project can be transformative – and this show is bursting with ideas and the latest innovations. From wellness suites, water features, saunas, steam rooms and swimming pools to hot tubs, ice baths, and enclosures, SPATEX 2026 is a must-attend event for anyone involved in construction. Free, and open to all, the expo runs from Tuesday 3rd to Thursday 5th February at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

The UK’s biggest water leisure showcase under one roof – with over 125 exhibiting companies, including all the leading water leisure manufacturers and suppliers from around the world, this is the one and only time in the UK that you can see, touch and, in some cases, view in operation, every aspect of water leisure, plus all the ancillary equipment (eg tiling, paving, chemicals, lighting, heating, and ventilation) for both the commercial and domestic sectors. Many stands will offer special visitor discounts.
