Show Dates
We attend many shows throughout the year all over the UK with a variety of Tarantulas, assorted insects and drygoods. We love shows and support as many as possible as it’s a great way to meet up with regular customers and new. Some are bigger than others and usually the bigger the show the more tables we have but are all worth visiting as not only can you pick out your own spiders you also meet a lot of like minded enthusiasts.
Please note these dates and venues where correct at time of publishing. On the odd occasion the date and venue may change and sometimes shows are cancelled. We recommend checking our facebook page or blogs for any updates.
