The Excel is a great place for exhibitions but ..... I attended the Cake and Bake show and after this year probably won't attend another one. It was an absolute joke! The cake and food related stalls are getting less and less, to the point now where it took myself and my family walking at a leisurely pace 75 minutes to go around every stall. There were about 10 stalls selling peelers , graters ,whisks, garlic/ginger grating plates, then about 4 animal charity stalls , a stall selling mops and if that wasn't bad enough there was a stall selling hair straighteners curling hair for free, a stall selling phone cables and the best of all a stall selling woollen jumpers. So the best part was the free balloon my daughter was given and the Costa coffee that I purchased outside the exhibition hall. Cake and Bake you must do better!!!

It was comic con. And that is always enjoyable, funny and fun. As for the venue..I've never had a bad experience. Its the only.venue where the staff really do seem to care if you have a walking stick, or small children that might need the loo if stuck in a queue. After lockdowns and a whole year missing, today was just so welcome and I don't think I saw one person less than happy. But look, realistically, its going to be crowded, there's going to be queues. So take your own.drinks, at least one, and have a good breakfast. There's all sorts to choose.from subway to noodles. You had to show proof of vaccination or a negative flow test result. So everyone is safe. So go, what ever it is you want to be part of, just go and have some fun.

Me & my girlfriends went here for a wedding show for our upcoming wedding dates. It was great. Lots of information & can be quite overwhelming but it gave me great ideas etc. They have lots of different shows there too. We also went for a baby show 3 years ago which was amazing. Lots of deals & useful information.

Parking price is not reasonable. The centre itself is good, clean and have a good choice of events. Excellent customer service throughout.

I'm a regular visitor its always good to walk round,nice sections of food and bars although you pay a bit more. For such a big place it's has a nice atmosphere. Parking is excellent and reasonable for the area. Fun fact Did you know batman begins filmed the tumbler test Run here.
