Visitors can speak directly with staff at a number of exhibition stands, or watch interactive presentations at the dedicated Golf Tourism stage.

The northwest’s only dedicated golf show

The Manchester Golf Show is the only dedicated golf show in the North West, and the popularity of the previous two events helped demonstrate the sheer number of golf fans in that part of the country. The Golf Show Group is extremely experienced in running top-quality events, having staged 18 golf shows across England over the last 10 years.
