Swan Events, the team behind the popular and well-established Autumn Coin-op Show is thrilled to announce a brand-new event tailored for the Amusement and Retail sectors: The Amusement & Retail Entertainment Expo. Scheduled for 29th and 30th April 2025, this exciting event will take place at Cotton Sheds, Victoria Warehouse, in central Manchester.
The Expo will also incorporate a brand new one-day event called "Empowering Women in Leisure and Retail," which will take a conference format on the day prior 28th April. This initiative aims to support and highlight the contributions of women in the industry, providing a platform for networking, learning, and empowerment.
"I have been asked on a number of occasions over the last few years about hosting an event in the North of England," said Karen Cooke, Expo organiser. "After much research and deliberation, taking into account loading/unloading, visitor transport access, parking, and a wide range of hotels within walking distance, I am pleased to confirm that the Amusement & Retail Entertainment Expo will take place in Manchester. As always, we like to tailor our events specifically to our industry and in unique venues – with this in mind, we will host the Expo at Cotton Sheds, Victoria Warehouse, in central Manchester."
The Expo aims to provide an additional platform for exhibitors and attendees to network, explore business opportunities, and stay ahead of industry developments. The event will feature a wide range of exhibitors, all showcasing the newest advancements in low-stakes gaming, entertainment and leisure equipment.
John Stergides, Managing Director of Electrocoin says, “Electrocoin looks forward to participating in this new event and we urge the rest of the industry to support the initiative as well.”
"We are really excited to support this new event with a fresh focus," said Ian Eason, Managing Director of Instance Automatics. “It will be great to have a show in Manchester.”

"We invite everyone involved in the leisure and retail sectors to join us at the Expo," added Karen Cooke. "This is a fantastic opportunity to see first-hand the innovations shaping the future of our industry. Manchester, known for its vibrant culture and excellent transport links, is the perfect location for the Expo.
