A PLACE IN THE SUN LIVE, BIRMINGHAM, UK The autumn version of Britain’s most well-know overseas property brand takes place in Birmingham from 27 to 29 September. Launched in 2005, A Place in the Sun Live benefits greatly in the UK from its well- recognised brand (made famous by its namesake Channel 4 TV show), so footfall is usually impressive, even in the smaller autumn exhibition. Andy Bridges, event organizer, predicts around 5,000 visitors, split almost down the middle male/female and an average budget of £160,000.
The most popular destinations tend to be the Brit- friendly classics: Spain, France, Florida, Portugal, Italy. This year the show is expecting to have 150 stands, with a 50/50 split between exhibitors from the UK and overseas (but all involved in international property). The centrepiece of A Place in the Sun Live is ‘The Hub’, where its TV presenters and industry experts give advice and insight on buying overseas property. In each of the four corners of the hall are the country-specific zones – The French Village, Florida Pavilion, Portuguese Pavilion and Italian Pavilion – with other exhibitors between them.
Stands are priced at £360 per square metre, with deals dependent on size and availability.
