MELBOURNE, Australia—Sexpo is taking place this fall in the U.K., and now that a venue has been selected, ticket sales have opened.
This will be the first U.K. show in four years, and it’s set to be the largest. U.K. Sexpo is set to take place Oct. 25-29 at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham. The first U.K. Sexpo was staged (under license) at London Olympia in November 2015. Almost four years later, this year’s event will be the first under the direct control of Sexpo founder David Ross.
Last year, they had a difficult time finding the perfect venue, but the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham is more than perfect. Another hurdle was the permits—they have established a new UK limited company and have now secured all planning permissions. Council permits can be viewed at Sexpo.co.uk/media-releases/licence.
There are many adult exhibitions around the world, including some previously held in the U.K., but none have used the focus on lifestyle the way Sexpo does. This focus ensures attendance numbers are far better than any competing event, with more than 50 percent of attendees being women.
“The best attendance for a single event is 68,000 (in Australia), with 40,000 being the average attendance, making Sexpo the busiest stand-alone adult show in the world,” says David Ross, Sexpo (International) Pty Ltd Managing Director. “We anticipate that 30k will visit the 2019 Birmingham event. Using the Australian and South Africa events as a guide, we expect the numbers to increase over the next eight years before settling down to an average of 40k.”
