In advance of your arrival, we want to remind you of a couple of logistical changes to this year’s Show.

Media Centre
This year, the Media Centre will be located at the East end of the Show. Please ensure you alight at Prince Regent tube station to enter the Show via the Main Entrance, or, if travelling by car, please park towards the East end of the building.

Once inside ExCeL, please head to the entrance barriers. Security and signage will direct you to either a lift or escalator to level three.  The Media Centre is located in the Capital Suite rooms 14, 15 & 16 but is fully signposted.

Floorplan
Together with the move to the East end, and new extended area of ExCeL, the Show will take on a completely new look and floorplan.  Make sure you pick up a complimentary Showguide from the Media Centre to navigate the floor with ease.  For the first time, the South Hall will host all the boats in the Show and the North Hall is divided into the following areas:

Equipment and fittings – Green carpet
Marine services – Orange carpet
Retail village – Blue carpet
Holidays and watersports – Fuchsia carpet

Don’t forget the Watersports Action Pool with Neilson and Rockley Watersports in the North Hall, the Boardwalk (dry marina) at the East end of the South Hall, the Used Boats Marina with yachtworld.com outside on Royal Victoria Dock and some of the largest boats currently in manufacture outside in the New Boats Marina.

Media Events Diary
The Media Events Diary is already packed with many global and UK product launches. To schedule your day in advance, please click here, or pick up your copy from the Media Centre on your arrival.

The official Show opening will take place at 11am on Friday 7 January. Model and sportswoman Jodie Kidd will officially open the Show following a stunning, high adrenaline watersports display on the Show’s new 70m x 24m indoor pool.
