GLOW FETCHES PET EXPO FOR DEBUT SHOW Glow, the events, exhibition and live entertainment venue integrated with Bluewater, is to host Sherwood Media’s first Pet Expo in the UK this autumn. Pet Expo will occupy Glow’s upper hall from October 25 to 27 and marks Sherwood Media’s debut at Glow. The three-day event, positioned as a ‘must visit show’ for the UK’s pet loving community, will include experts and exhibits from retailers, breeders, clubs and associations, and pet services. There will also be a strong theme of promoting responsible pet ownership and animal welfare, with advice available from vets, animal behaviourists and a number of specialist charities. Visitors will also be able to see and interact with a wide range of animals, including dogs and cats, fish, ponies and reptiles. Other features of the show will be a pets corner, interactive seminars from experts, an ‘Ask the Vet’ clinic, daily fun dog show that visitors can enter, ‘Ask the Trainer’ sessions, pet grooming showcase and a range of competitions. Commenting on the launch of Pet Expo, Michael Watton, Venue Director at Glow, said: “The launch of Pet Expo is another key milestone in what has been a great year so far for Glow. Pet Expo is the type of event at the core of Glow’s offer; a niche show that targets a specific consumer sector, , to deliver a unique experience. The show creates an additional reason to visit for Bluewater’s existing guests, as well as appealing to new consumers from across the South East and London.” Marie Murphy, Event Director at Sherwood Media, added: “We are very excited to be making out debut at Glow. It is a great venue with a real sense of momentum. Its affinity with consumers throughout the South East is a key draw, as is the ease of access, the 13,000 free parking spaces and the wider Bluewater offer, which is very complementary and allows visitors to make a day of it.” The announcement follows the launch last month of Summer Live at Glow, a programme of music, comedy and theatre running over a three-week period in July and August this year. Glow’s upper hall is being transformed into a 2,700-seat arena for Summer Live, which will include performances by The Saturdays, Justin Fletcher and Brainiac. petexpo.co.uk.
