14/05/2021 - 15/05/2021 Manchester Central Visit Website

NEW DATE: Following consultation with exhibitors and visitors, Mara Media, the organisers of Scottish Skipper Expo (13 and 14 November 2020) have decided not to stage the event this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and has rolled the show forward to now take place in Aberdeen on May 14th and 15th 2021.

Scottish Skipper Expo is Scotland’s flagship fisheries show and attracts huge numbers of exhibitors and visitors worldwide.

Founded by Mara Media, a publishing and event management company based in Co. Donegal, Ireland, they also bring to the industry Irish Skipper Expo & The Skipper monthly magazine.

The 2019 event held at AECC saw approx. 230 exhibitors from 22 different countries. The success of the show can be attributed to the fact that the expo is a great place to do business, as well as being the ideal venue located in the North East of Scotland, for the fishing industry to network and socialise.
