The Liverpool Boat Show 2011 is set to attract some 100,000 paying visitors plus a further 300,000 spectators when it takes place from April 29 to May 8 in the historic surroundings of the Albert Dock.
Tickets costing from £6 to £15 are now available to book via the show’s website, www.liverpoolboatshow.com or by calling 0844 809 4620.
Exhibitors at the inaugural show include major global boating brands such as Fairline, Sealine, Sunseeker, Princess and Beneteau.
The event is set to be the most spectacular boat show the UK has ever seen, with Royal Navy and foreign naval vessels in attendance, a range of historic Tall Ships and heritage narrowboats present and two major regattas taking place on the River Mersey.
There will also be an aqua-theatre, a comedy festival featuring a range of household names and a Sea Shanty Festival. There will be sailing and power boat demonstrations, opportunities for people to try water sports and hundreds of amazing sail and power boats on display.
The opening day of the show, which coincides with the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, will see a large screen erected so show-goers can watch the Westminster Abbey ceremony live.
The show will be open from 10.30am to 8.30pm every day, apart from the final Sunday when it will close at 5.00pm.
Show managing director Rob MacKenzie said today:
“Our unique pricing structure means paying show visitors will have exclusive access to the Main Marina and the majority of the exhibitor marquees, plus the ‘have-a-go’ experiences, practical workshops and demonstrations.
Non-paying spectators, meanwhile, will enjoy free entrance to the Boat Show site where they can be part of the overall spectacle, enjoy the water-based entertainments and visit a selection of the land-based exhibitors and feature boats. It’s a winning combination.”
People pre-booking show tickets will receive an exclusive Liverpool ONE/Boat Show Discount Card entitling them to fantastic discounts and promotional offers in many of the stores within the Liverpool ONE shopping district during the show.
