No children under 16 will be allowed on site during build-up and break-down. On show days, children between 12 and 16 years will be admitted as long as they are accompanied by a responsible adult. However, we highly recommend that children attend on Day 3, the Student Day, as it will be much more beneficial and enjoyable for them, with lots of activities and interaction to encourage them to join our industry. On this day children under 12 years will be allowed full access but they must be accompanied by an adult.
