FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UK Sexpo® Announces Venue
Tickets & Exhibitor Floor Space Now on Sale
(Melbourne, Australia) The wait is over…Sexpo® is happening this fall in the UK, and tickets and exhibitor booths are now on sale. This will be the first UK show in four years, and it’s set to be the largest.
UK Sexpo® is set to take place October 25th through October 29th, 2019 at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham. The first UK 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 sexpo.co.uk/media-releases/licence.
There are many adult exhibitions around the world, including some previously held in the UK, 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% 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.”
Mainstream and adult companies looking to exhibit and reach at estimated 30k attendees, should check out the Exhibitor page at sexpo.co.uk/exhibitors. View the promo booklet and register your interest by clicking on the button or email [email protected] for details and pricing information.

ABOUT SEXPO®
Sexpo®, the world’s largest & longest-running Health, Sexuality and (adult) Lifestyle expo is NOT a porn show; it’s a woman and LGBT+ friendly entertainment event for all adults.
Conceived in 1995, Sexpo® is the brainchild of David Ross. Having spent a number of years in the adult industry and retail space prior to this time, David wanted to modernize the way adults sampled, evaluated and purchased products and services related to the adult industry. He decided that the best way to achieve his goal was to surround the adult product with non-sexual products and services, and then present it all in a venue that the general public was comfortable visiting, a major exhibition venue.
The exhibitor base incorporates companies from a range of fields. These include (but are not limited to) health, spa pools, fashion, bedding, wedding planners, wine tasting, holiday resorts, hair and make-up artists, physical fitness equipment and others that have helped broaden the appeal of the event to the public, and usually results in balanced media coverage.
First held in Melbourne, Australia, in 1996, Sexpo® expanded to South Africa in 2007. Recently celebrating its 22nd birthday it now boasts almost 100 events across three continents with a collective total of more than three million visitors.
