A new home. Even more to discover.

Taking place shortly after the release of the SEND White Paper, the event became a key moment for the sector. Taking place on 5-7 February 2027 at Emirates Old Trafford Cricket Ground, the show brought together the northern SEND community in record numbers to hear from leading experts, share ideas, explore new solutions and connect with peers navigating the evolving SEND landscape.

Across two days, attendees experienced a packed programme of CPD-certified seminars, practical workshops and a vibrant exhibition hall, gaining valuable insight and strategies to support children and young people with SEND.

If you are SENCo especially from 11 - 25 education then you need to attend as the workshops and seminars are really valuable, and the networking was very useful.

There are opportunities to discover new information and gain insight into new tech that can help you support your students better. I like coming to network with different people as this is how you can relate and up skill on knowledge.

It’s incredible. I am a university student and went to the show for more information for my dissertation. I learnt more with the Tes SEND Show seminars then 3 years at university.
Sophie Catney
Student teacher, ARU
The Tes SEND Show gave me so much new information on how to support the children in a learning environment. Each stall had amazing people who were willing to hear us share our background before they explained their products in depth. Each stall have us free stuff such as books, magazines and some even have bags and water bottles!!
