Car Parking Facilities:
There is a Large car park outside the front of the Hotel for over 170+ Cars and Vans for visitors to park in for the duration of the show. The Car Park is free, but you must register your car at the front desk.
Loading/Unloading:
The Future Inn Boasts a nice level double-door loading space which is very close to the Dealers hall. Once you have Unloaded your Van/Car please make your way to the car-park to allow other people to unload as there is very limited parking outside the double doors. There will be signs upon entering the Car Park for the unloading bay.
Trader Spaces/Wristbands:
Upon entering the venue, the tables will be marked down with your Name/Trading Name so you may easily locate your space. If you are in need of help, please contact one of our friendly members of staff and we will assist you.
During setup morning before doors open, team members will be walking around handing out wristbands to each trader. Please make sure you wear them for the entire time you are trading. Anyone not seen wearing wristbands/lanyard will be asked to leave for security purposes. (This goes for ALL traders and members of the public).
If you have any issues with your trader table, please contact a member of staff so we can address the issue before the doors open. Animangapop accepts no liability for issues regarding your purchased space after the event has taken place if you have not raised the issue before doors open.

Additional Information:
If you are not local to the area then below is some useful information which we hope will be useful:
Food and Drink: If you do not want to use the Hotel for food and drink you have other options just on the other side of the road. Within a 2min walking distance you will find a ‘McDonalds’ and a 5/10 min walk you will find ‘M&S Food’, ‘KFC’ and ‘Pizza Hut’.
Hardware Supplies: If you have forgotten something important and need it to fix your stand or banners etc. Within a 10min walk, you will find a very large ‘B&Q’ Hardware Centre or over the road a large ‘Range’ store.
Getting there by other transport: If you do not have a car and are traveling to the location by train then you can find multiple buses leaving from Plymouth central train station at multiple times during the day. There are also numerous taxi firms who will be able to help you reach your destination. Google Maps is a great way to see which buses are going and at what times when planning your journey.
