SPATEX 2025 declared a water leisure industry-wide success
Visitors from 24 countries gathered at the Coventry Building Society Arena at the beginning of February for the UK’s only dedicated water leisure exhibition – SPATEX 2025. It was a glittering spectacle, representing the first international showcase of water leisure in the calendar year, with swimming pools, spas, saunas, steam rooms, ice baths, hot tubs and hot tubs taking centre stage.
As well as access to a double seminar programme, providing the latest technical and health and safety guidance, visitors were treated to a display of the very latest models, innovations and trends from over a hundred leading companies drawn from around the world.
“A big thank you to all our wonderful exhibitors and visitors for making this 29th show such a resounding success. It is a great prelude to our milestone 30th anniversary edition, February 3rd to 5th 2026, which marks three decades of SPATEX proudly serving and showcasing the water leisure industry.”
Here’s a selection of comments from the show’s exhibitors and visitors:

"Had an amazing time at SPATEX! As part of the Fira Barcelona UK Delegation, it was fantastic reconnecting with so many familiar faces, especially those who’ll be joining us at Piscina Barcelona in November 2025. The UK market is buzzing with innovation, and I had some insightful conversations with companies exploring expansion into Spain and beyond."
