Not just a reptile show, not just a specialist invert show, but a dedicated rodent show and the chance to see a vast range of parakeets, Ferrets and Cats.
Many of you will know the Houten Expo Centre, and its well suited for this type of event.
With around 10000 m2 of floor space, there is plenty of space available.
Our coaches or minibuses will once again collect you from your choice of pickup location and whisk you down to the Truck Stop at Asford in Kent, where you can enjoy a ‘truckers’ meal.
With the ticket price including the channel crossing, you just need to sit back and enjoy the trip on the Euro Tunnel Train.
We will make our way over to the expo centre, taking regular rest breaks.
Once we arrive, around 8 to 8.30, we could sit and watch the queues grow, or you can take advantage of our EARLY entry tickets…Yes, that’s right, jump the queue and get in before the 10 am open time. ALL INCLUDED in the price.
As normal for our trips, we allow the transport of reptiles, amphibians and inverts for personal collections. In addition we will allow small numbers of rodents for pets.
Rodents must be packed in a separate container from any other animal and are subject to different transport packaging rules.
The show closes around 5 pm, when we depart the Expo centre and head back to the Euro Tunnel via some ‘duty free’ shopping in Belgium.
Once back in England, we stop at Ashford before the coaches or minibuses head off back to their pick up locations.
Inclusive Price:
Transport to and from selected pick up location to Ashford
Return Channel Crossing on the Euro Tunnel Train
European transport to Houten in Holland and back
EARLY entry to the Show (all 6 events)
£100.00
The Terraria Houten shows are way up on the list of the biggest reptile shows in Europe.
Held in the exhibition centre in the Dutch town of Houten, the location benefits from full facilities including dining areas.
More commonly known for the twice annual Terraria Reptile shows, this venue is well suited and known to many reptile keepers.
This is also the venue for the famous Snake Day show.
As normal, our coaches or minibuses will run from an assortment of locations, and all meet up at Ashford in Kent.
From there we cross the channel on the Euro tunnel, and head to Holland via a ‘shopping stop’ in Belgium.
Arriving in time for the show to open, we have the whole day there before heading home again.
We have 1 coach going to this show.
