AES Annual Exhibition and Trade Fair 2022

Event description

Welcome to the UK's longest running entomological fair. With the exception of the two Covid years, this event has taken place every year since 1945 and is almost certainly the largest of its kind in the UK.

With two hundred and twenty tables across two floors, this really is going to be a monster of an event. In addition to livestock and other traders, AES members are also welcome to provide exhibits.

Admission is £5 per adult and £3 per child (children under four free). You do not need to be a member in order to visit the exhibition, if you join on the day you can also have your entrance fee refunded.
