CRE - International Christian Resources Exhibition 2012

More information on CRE - International Christian Resources Exhibition

At Sandown 2009 the Christian Resources Exhibition celebrated the 25th year of the exhibition, marveling at the growth from the first event that was held at the Royal Horticultural Halls, London with 120 exhibitors, to now being the UK’s biggest and most successful exhibition for equipping and resourcing Churches and Christian ministries.

You can imagine the mixed emotions felt by both the organisers and exhibitors when the doors opened on the first day at the Horticultural Halls in 1985.  Excitement mingled with apprehension, would any visitors show up?

To everyone's joy and probably relief, the event was a huge success with over 8,000 people attending during the three days.

Twenty-five years on, CRE continues to be the UK's largest and most successful Christian exhibition with events being held across the United Kingdom.  The largest is the annual event held at Sandown Park, Esher with over 12,400 visitors and 370 exhibitors in 2009.

From leading charities and companies to smaller independent organisations, all have benefitted enormously from the contacts they have established at CRE over the years. CRE enjoys both regular and new visitors to the exhibitions which is one of the reasons it is such a successful event for those who exhibit.

The visitor numbers at the Sandown Park, Esher exhibition in 2011 were 10,078.

Regional exhibitions will still be a major part of our programme and in 2012 CRE will be hosting a regional exhibition (venue to be announced shortly).

The dates are already set for the International Christian Resources Exhibition 2012 at Sandown and they are from the 8 - 11th of May  2012.
