The Outdoor Trade Show (OTS), celebrating its 20th anniversary edition, has opened its doors in Liverpool.

The UK's only dedicated outdoor sports trade show will house 130 exhibitors - including Berghaus, Altra, Carhartt, Helly Hansen, Icebreaker and Smartwool - from June 2 to 4.

The finalists for the OIA UK Outdoor Industry Awards 2027 will be announced at the OTS Social on June 3, as will the OTS Outdoor Retailer of the Year.

Running brands Topo Athletic and Ronhill are sponsoring morning runs - described as “great opportunities to explore Liverpool, meet others from the industry and test demo footwear” – on June 3 and 4.

Sportstextiles wrote about the first show, which was based near Coventry, in April 2006.
