Southampton International Boat Show 2021 could move to a new location in the city with a new layout and entrance this September under plans being discussed between organisers British Marine and Southampton City Council.<\/p>\n
However, BM CEO, Lesley Robinson is keen to stress the existing Ocean Hall will feel very similar to that of past years.<\/p>\n
The plans could mean the show moves along the city walls which, says Lesley would mean more integration with the city. There could be a bridge to Mayflower Park and the marina which would remain as part of the plans.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be the biggest change in 30 years if it happens,\u201d said Lesley who added that zoning the show into different categories is also under discussion.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will make a lot more sense,\u201d she explained. \u201cWe want new visitors to the show to know where to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
The plans are part of BM\u2019s efforts to encourage more people particularly those new to boating to visit the show.<\/p>\n
Other plans could include free or reduced rate entrance for students and new attractions.<\/p>\n
The event is set to run concurrently with MDL\u2019s Ocean Village show with both MDL and BM \u2018engaged in discussions\u2019 with the aim of maximising both shows.<\/p>\n
It is still unknown whether the two organisations will work together, however Lesley is keen to stress that: \u201cEverything needs to be in the best needs of the industry. All options are on the table.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cWe\u2019re very open minded.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both shows are scheduled to take place September 10 \u2013 19.<\/p>\n
