Badges & Passes
Contractor passes
Anyone working on the site at any time must have the appropriate pass. If you have contractors who will only be on site for the build-up and/or break down, they can collect passes on site once they have completed the online site induction. The link to the site induction can be sent in advance or completed on site by scanning the QR code at the entrance to the showground. Contractors will need to provide proof of work at the show before they will be allowed access.
​
Exhibitor passes
​
Each stand will be allocated 6 exhibitor access passes. Please register here.
​
*please note passes will not be approved until the remaining balance of your stand cost has been cleared.

If you believe that you will require more than 6 members of staff on site, please email operations@riverstreetevents.co.uk

Digital passes will permit exhibitors to access the site for build up or on show open morning, at which point they must collect an exhibitor wristband from the Organisers, valid for the duration of the show.
