Manchester

Exhibit at A Place in the Sun Live Manchester

Manchester is our first exhibition of the year and offers a unique opportunity to meet potential buyers of second homes overseas before they plan their viewing trips over Easter and the summer period. Our most recent Manchester event in March 2022 attracted 5,164 motivated visitors who all bought a ticket to attend to find out how to go about buying overseas and to meet the companies who could help them make it happen.

Manchester is a vibrant city in the wealthy north-west of the UK with excellent transport connections and as our only exhibition north of Birmingham, attracts a lot of potential overseas buyers from northern England up to and including Scotland. In keeping with the wealthy demographic, almost 60% of our visitors are cash-buyers when buying their property.

Manchester Exhibition

As with all A Place in the Sun Live exhibitions, we offer visitors the opportunity to meet with agents and professional service providers but also the chance to learn from property experts via our daily seminar schedules. These sessions are designed to inform and inspire visitors to move forward with their buying plans and engage with our unique range of exhibitors.

Main Hub – Daily seminars with stars from the TV show and a range of property experts with the content mainly generic or Spanish, our most popular country.
French Village – Bespoke French exhibition area within the main hall including a daily seminar programme on buying and living in France.
Seminar Theatre – Daily seminars on a range of countries.
