Aquatics Live, the UK’s largest show for fish and reptile keepers, will be making a return to Olympia Exhibition Centre this November. Now in its second year, the show will be even bigger and better than last year’s event, with more stunning varieties of aquarium and reptile displays, interactive features, leading manufacturers and retailers as well as seminars from world-renowned experts.

Welcome to Aquatics Live

Some of the interactive features that will be on show at Aquatics Live include the Family Activity Zone which will have fishy face-painting and arts and crafts modelling. The Marine Wildlife Show, meanwhile, will illustrate talks on conservation, responsibility and sustainability using life-sized models of dolphins, sharks and whales. There will also be Reef Building workshops and the Crocodiles of the World display, which proved to be extremely popular last year.
