While initially Karen Cooke of Swan Events was cagey about repeating her ARE trade show in Manchester, UK, next year, that was half-way through the first day.
After the two-day show in the Cotton Sheds at Victoria Warehouses, close to Old Trafford, Cooke was much more positive.
Like all promoters post-event, Cooke waxed lyrical, but was ready to confirm that the show will certainly be back in 2026. “We’ll share the official dates very soon” she promised in a press release.
Twenty-five companies supported the first ARE with stands and the workshops were visibly popular.
