Organiser Karen Cooke explained: “This morning Chelsea Football Club called to cancel our tenancy at their venue, due to a fire in their electrical systems.
"You will appreciate this has come as something of a shock and we’ve urgently had to find a new venue, so as not to disappoint our visitors and all of the companies who have put so much into the event.”
Olympia London is located on Hammersmith Road, some 20 minutes via public transport from Chelsea Football Club.
“We hope that Olympia’s close proximity to Chelsea will mean that disruption to people’s accommodation and travel plans will be kept to a minimum. We apologise for any inconvenience and hope that all the show’s participants will understand that these circumstances were beyond our control,” said Cooke.
The show will take place at Olympia London’s Conference Centre (Level 3). There will be no change to the opening times.
