“This is the only event of its kind in Scotland,” says Black Light’s Head of Company Development, Phil Haldane. “Our annual open days have always been really popular and this year’s will be the biggest and best yet. It will be a great opportunity to see the latest developments in the industry and will save people in scotland the trouble of going down to the London shows.”

The event, which will run from 10am until 4.30pm on each day, is designed to be of real value to anyone working in the theatre, events or architectural sectors. Over the two days visitors will be able to talk to manufacturers and get a hands-on look at a wide variety of cutting-edge products.

Black Light’s team of professionals will be on hand to give advice and all visitors can sign up for free consultations. Food and beverages will be available and there will also be the opportunity to pick up lots of free samples, brochures and other ‘freebies’. For exhibitors the event is an excellent opportunity to extend their business networks, to meet old clients and to generate new business.

“Everyone who comes to our Open Days agrees that they are actually better than normal trade shows,” says Phil. “There’s a really good atmosphere and visitors rub shoulders with the industry’s leading lights and meet up with colleagues and old friends.”

Black Light’s Open Day takes place near the company’s West Shore Trading Estate headquarters. This is located in the Granton area of Edinburgh. It’s an easy location to get to, as it is less than 10 minutes’ drive from the city centre.
