Is this event held every year? If so, what are the dates for 2020?
Thanks
Hi Kim,
The event does appear to run every year as I am sure I have been updating information on it for quite a while.
As for 2020 dates, this information usually isn’t posted until after the current year’s event has finished.
Make sure to check back after the event for any new information.
Thanks
Michael
