Last year the free event attracted over 2,000 plus visitors from as far a field as Cornwall, Dublin, and the Isle of White. There were around a 100 stands displaying the latest equipment and product solutions. The feedback from the show was excellent from both exhibitors and visitors: “Had a great day, it was like being in a sweetie shop. Found collars and bed guards, tried out wheelchairs and support seats. It was really good to have a show a bit nearer to home, we usually have to travel hundreds of miles not just 70. What was really nice was that you had a full sized changing bed well done. Great event thanks” Phillippa (mum) and David (age 12). "Had a great day today, it was like being in a sweetie shop.
