Group Leisure Show 2026: come and get involved on Stand TR13
Join us at this years Group Leisure Show in Milton Keynes
Part of a group, society or club that like to travel?
The Group Leisure Show 2026 - officially the Group Leisure & Travel Show - returns to Arena MK in Milton Keynes on Thursday 8th October 2026, 10.00am to 4.00pm. Involved Holidays will be there on Stand TR13, and entry is free for group travel organisers.
What is the Group Leisure Show 2026?
The Group Leisure & Travel Show is the UK's dedicated one-day exhibition for group travel organisers, club secretaries, U3A groups and coach operators. Operators, venues and attractions exhibit under one roof at Arena MK, alongside a free seminar programme running through the day.
It's the easiest place to plan a whole year of group trips in a single visit, and to ask the awkward questions face to face rather than by email. If you organise travel for a group of ten or more, it's worth the day out.
