A huge attraction for Harrogate this year is the launch of the prestigious BPA Baby & Nursery Trade Awards (BANTAs) rewarding excellence within the nursery industry for companies exhibiting at Harrogate. Judges are all leading experts in the nursery industry, so retailers will gain a valuable insight into the products which they consider are a cut above the rest – and most likely to be best sellers next season.
The BPA’s BACRA awards have been renamed as part of the collaboration between the BPA and Harrogate Nursery Fair. They are now called the BANTA awards, ‘Baby and Nursery Trade Awards.’ All Harrogate Nursery Fair exhibitors may enter as many categories as desired.
Winners will be announced at the Sunday Night Party at the Majestic Hotel, together with hilarious entertainment by comedian Bobby Davro plus the brilliant 10 piece band SWAY providing music to dance the night away. Tickets are great value at just £37 plus VAT per person.
The description for each category is for example and not exhaustive. Please remember that you can enter your product in more than one category but must complete an application form for each entry:
1. Child Restraints: Car seats, etc
2. Wheeled Goods: Child wheeled conveyances
3. Travel and Sleep: Cots/travel cots etc, infant carriers/slings, car seat accessories, pushchair accessories, bedding and accessories
