HOYS returns to Birmingham’s NEC from 4th – 8th October and it is bigger and better than ever before!

With a new look and a new layout, HOYS 2017 will see the Show grow in size offering more opportunities for visitors and competitors in our bigger than ever before Retail Village. The changes will allow HOYS to develop the show further and to implement new and innovative ideas moving forwards.

The Retail Village, which is an equestrian lover’s shopping paradise, will now have its own dedicated Hall allowing for a larger and more immersive shopping experience with all of our exhibitor stands together in Hall 1. The Interactive Feature Area will continue to give visitors the opportunity to ‘Meet the Horses’ and watch interactive demonstrations. A new addition this year is the ‘HOYS Live Zone’ which will incorporate the expert talks which previously took place in the forum and will give visitors the chance to meet professionals in the equestrian industry through live talks and demonstrations. More information on the HOYS Live Zone will follow in the coming months.

The TopSpec Arena will move into Hall 2 (next to the Retail Village) allowing us to have an entire Hall dedicated to this popular area as well as allowing for an increased audience capacity. There will also be a new internal walkway linking the Retail Village to the Andrews Bowen International Arena. Here at Grandstand we are excited about the changes and are looking forward to welcoming everyone to HOYS 2017, 4th – 8th October.
