The RYA Dinghy Show will be relocating to Farnborough from its current home at Alexandra Palace.
For 2021, the world’s only show dedicated to dinghy sailing will be held at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre over the weekend of 27 – 28 February.
“After 25 fantastic years at Alexandra Palace, it feels like we’ve reached a milestone year for the RYA Dinghy Show and the time is right for a change in venue,” said RYA director of sport development, Alistair Dickson.
“Over the past few years we’ve been listening to both the visitor and exhibitor feedback and have taken on an extensive review of the show’s location and venue, carefully considering everything from travel and distance to sustainability and floor space.
Sustainable facilities
“A large number of potential venues were considered across the UK, with Farnborough eventually coming out top due to its excellent accessibility, modern and sustainable facilities, appropriate size and space, free onsite parking and reasonably priced local accommodation options for visitors and exhibitors.”
Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre venue director, Michael Watton added that staff were delighted to be hosting the 2021 edition. “The RYA’s decision to relocate their show to our venue is a fantastic endorsement of our easy to access location and flexible facilities.
“We look forward to seeing the show take shape in our venue and to welcoming exhibitors and visitors for a fantastic event.”
