The Great Outdoors, Indoors...
The Outdoors Show is geared up and ready to open its doors in 2008 with
a wealth of exciting new exhibitors and features for EVERYONE to explore!
Staged in three huge showcasing halls, 375 exhibitors and 25 exciting new feature areas will squeeze all they have to offer in the 31,000 m2 of space.
The 2008 show will be a hive of activity with organisers offering even more opportunities for visitors to ‘have a go’. The three halls guarantee some of the biggest and best outdoors brands and consumer titles and a new experience for everyone through the doors.
Nowhere else in the country under one roof will you be able to scuba dive indoors, tackle a high ropes course and dance away to the live music at the beach festival – a first for the Outdoors Show.
One exhilarating new feature set to send pulses racing and the adrenalin flowing will be the totally unique ‘Skymasters’ climbing competition. Introduced into the UK for the very first time it will bring together some of the world’s most experienced climbers to tackle it.
The Outdoors Show will also welcome a wealth of names and personalities in the outdoor world to talk about their fascinating experiences and challenges. Climbers, explorers and TV personalities such as Bear Grylls, Leo Holding and the three female presenters of the BBC’s Ultimate Outdoors show will be gracing the World Theatre stage.
Ten of the top outdoor brands will be invited to wow the crowds with a cocktail
of catwalks, showcases and explanations on their latest and most innovative
gear. Brands such as Nike ACG, Columbia and Montane will be hoping
to bag one of the prestigious Innovation Awards that accompany this lively
area of the show.
Among the many ‘firsts for this year’ will see the Rat Race Urban Adventure Series arrive in Birmingham, the epic City Centre race starting and ending at the NEC.
A hugely entertaining and physically demanding race will see competitors run, climb, abseil, cycle and kayak through the city’s roads and waterways to reach target checkpoints. The twist this year being that the Outdoors Show will be included as one of the checkpoints with no clue to the competitors as to the activity they may face until they reach the destination!
And the ‘piece de resistance’, as far as the 2007 Outdoors Show was concerned, will be the Bike Arena, which is set to shift up an entertainment-gear this year.
A brand new, purpose built dirt track with a terrifying array of jumps and obstacles will only play host to dare devils with the mentality to tackle it – a spectacle for sure!
