About Hale Events

Hale Events are based in Axbridge, Somerset, and organise business to business shows.

This historic Somerset town provides a countryside base close to the M5, which allows easy access to customers and partners all over the UK, and particularly in the South West region.

The team call on many decades of experience in the event industry, which they use to create and organise trade shows that are highly valued by participants. Hale Events are experts in the South West with a strong network of strategic and media partners, enabling targeted and effective marketing.

Our shows are highly valued by participants, and accommodate businesses of all sizes, from brand new start-ups to international PLC’s. They enable engagement and business transactions between buyers and sellers in conducive trading environments, mutually benefiting both the exhibitor and the attendee.

As a small team, it’s personal, not corporate. Hale Events can respond to change quickly and keep their events at the forefront of technological and market changes. They take pride in listening, responding quickly and being open, honest, and authentic.

The company ethos is more about ‘working to live’, than ‘living to work’ – and Hale Events strives to enable employees and directors to live the life they want, while delivering quality shows with great attention to detail.
