Top Tip... 

How to calculate wattage - an easy formula to calculate how many watts you’ll need to order -

Firstly find out how many amps your appliance uses, this can be found in the appliances information book or on the item/label.

Multiply the amps by 240 (UK volts from mains power). Example: A TV uses 1.6 amps -  multiply 1.6 x 240 = 384 watts, so you’ll need a 500watt socket. 

If you require a forklift, please contact exhibitors@thegamefair.org and we will do our best to accommodate you. There will be a £70 charge for each lift, subject to availability. Once we have accepted your request, an invoice will be sent from our accounts department. We can only make the life once the invoice is settled. Forklift requests which are not pre-booked cannot be accommodated, as the machinery is used for other jobs on-site. 

            *The lift weight is required before a job can be accepted*

The Game Fair offers several accommodation options for you and your team -

On Your Stand

Parking a caravan or pitching a tent to camp on your stand is acceptable if you keep within the boundary of your pitch. Staying back of house reduces the stress of entering and exiting the site when the roads are busy with visitors. It also improves the security of your stand. If anyone is found camping outside the footprint of their stand, they will be relocated to the campsite and will be charged for the price of a pitch. 

If you are sleeping on your stand, please declare this on your risk assessment.

Exhibitor Campsite

If you do not have room at the rear of your stand, we provide a caravan/campsite within the Blenheim Palace Estate at a discounted rate. You can book camping through the E-Zone please click here to book  https://thegamefairtickets.org/p/exhibitors 

Exhibitors are entitled to one campsite booking at a discounted rate of £121.50 (exc VAT) for a 10m x 10m pitch which can accommodate a maximum of six guests. Please click on the link to book – 

Campsite pitch including electrical hook up £219.50 (exc VAT). These have sold-out in Exhibitor camping, however we have a limited number available in public camping.  Please use code EXCAMPING when booking these pitches. Be advised that you will not automatically receive a Vat receipt from the public page in the way that you do from the Exhibitor page. Please contact our accounts team to process.

Connecting up - Pitches share a power box, so providing you have a 14-15m lead (the normal caravan orange leads are generally sold as 14m lengths)  you should be fine.

Toilets & Showers

If you require a toilet behind your stand, please contact exhibitors@thegamefair.org  where we can connect you with our contractors.

From Monday 22nd July until noon on Thursday 25th July, the only toilets available to exhibitors & contractors are Portaloos. Several blocks of Portaloos are located across the show ground. Mains water connected toilet facilities on the show ground will not be turned-on until noon on Thursday (at the earliest).

A single Exhibitor shower block will be open from Monday 22nd July. The location will be shared closer to the event. 

As part of our sustainability commitment to conserve water, and with too few people on-site to justify opening all the toilet blocks, we restrict access to a small number of toilet and shower facilities until later in the week. We constantly strive to find ways to conserve water and fuel consumption whilst on-site.

If you have any questions, please contact Catherine Bishop catherine.bishop@thegamefair.org  

The public toilet blocks will open from around midday on Thursday 25th July. Any questions please contact catherine.bishop@thegamefair.org

A central shower block will be available from Monday 22nd July until Monday 29th July. The opening of shower blocks will be staggered during the build-up period. Please note that the Exhibitor shower blocks will be closed during show opening hours to prevent public use.

Any questions please contact catherine.bishop@thegamefair.org

There will be a limited number of catering facilities available from Monday 22nd July. Pre-show catering units are located in a central position within the show ground – north of the main arena.
