The 2026 OTS will open its doors at Exhibition Centre at Liverpool Experience Campus on Tuesday 2nd June. The event will run until Thursday 4th June. We would like to formally invite you to attend the show as a member of the press.
You can confirm your attendance via the 2026 registration page on the OTS website.
2026 is a very special year for OTS, as we celebrate 20 years of the event. We will be marking this milestone during the build-up to June. Additionally, we will celebrate at the show. Our colleagues in the media have always been a key element of what makes OTS such an important and popular event for the UK outdoor trade. Therefore, we are keen to reflect that in our 20th birthday celebrations and hope that you will help us to do that – we will be sharing ways in which you can get involved in the near future.
As it always has been, OTS is a fantastic opportunity for retail buyers to view, compare and order new outdoor products for 2026/2027. It is also the ideal platform for the media to gain valuable insights into what’s in the pipeline. Furthermore, you can spend time with important contacts, all together under the same roof at the same time. OTS 2026 has already attracted over 125 brands, exhibiting in all three halls at Exhibition Centre Liverpool. We are delighted to welcome back many exhibitors from previous years. In addition, there are a significant number of brands who will be present at the show for the first time. Visit the OTS website to see the latest floorplan and a full list of exhibitors.
The press office (on the first floor above the salad bar – see the show floorplan) will be open throughout the show. Here, you can arrange meetings, or relax in between appointments with hot and cold refreshments.
Alongside the many new products on display, there are many other highlights to look forward to at this year’s show. Our ‘What’s On’ section has a handy breakdown of events in and around OTS. We have a full calendar, including the always sold out OTS Social, exhibitor stand entertainment, morning runs and more.
You may have spotted that the name of the OTS venue has changed. Liverpool Experience Campus was previously known as ACC Liverpool/Exhibition Centre Liverpool. Although the name has changed, the location and facilities remain the same. Take a look at the ‘Plan your visit’ section on our website. There, you can see venue, travel and accommodationinformation.
Liverpool is easy to reach from all parts of the UK and beyond – just 45 minutes from Manchester by road or train and just over two hours from London. The venue is also under two hours’ drive from Cumbria. In addition, Liverpool Airport is a 30 minute bus ride away.
We look forward to seeing you at the show!
