it's the 1st Feb to 5th feb, but its hardly a fireworks trade show.

There are literally hundreds and hundreds of exhibitors and fireworks pay a tiny part. I think there are normally less than a dozen or so retail fireworks companies there. This year the following companies will be there

ABSOLUTE FIREWORKS
FIREWORKS INTERNATIONAL
KIMBOLTON FIREWORKS (RETAIL) LTD
MEN SHUN FIREWORKS COMPANY LTD
NIGHTSTAR FIREWORKS
ROYAL PARTY FIREWORKS
COSMIC FIREWORKS LTD
TNT FIREWORKS UK LTD
BROTHERS PYROTECHNICS UK LTD

now all I will say is its a "trade" show, not open to the general public

ok thanks, it should at least be open to all pyrotechnics i think myself but like you are saying it is a trade show but we are in the trade

There is an excellent article on the UKFR about one of these trade shows.

As Starsky says, it is a "trade" show, not an open event, it is not the sort of thing you can just walk in off the streets and browse. This is the form make of it what you will.

Apologies, didn't realise you were trade.

Not sure who you mean by "it should at least be open to all pyrotechnics"

It's a trade show, for retailers etc

If anyone does go to this, it would be interesting to see what new styles/lines might be coming out. Although often at these things it is really just a question of a table decorated with a selection of dummies.

not sure exactly what you mean, what would you expect to see?
