So after a week to recover and on medication. I hadn't done any posting so here it goes..

I would like to say a Massive Thank you to all of our traders from this year. We had many retuning and a fair amount of new too. Although the floor plan went kaput which I take full responsibility for due to health it was an incredible show. A huge thank you to the most amazing couple Mandy Willson & Tash Willson for always being on top of their game. Without you ladies it would be manic and more stressful. I cant thank you both enough.

If anyone has any pictures at all please post them in the comments so I can add them to a post with the pictures my staff had also taken. We are just awaiting the Essex Wildlife Trust to contact us so we can send over the funds we raised for them to help towards Conservation, protecting our wildlife and nature reserves.

Thank you Calum Saunders & my Brother Evans for the huge efforts on the day I appreciate you both. Next year there will be a new team member and it will be the youngest of the Essex Arachnid and Invertebrate Show. πŸ©·πŸ‘ΆπŸ’™

We look forward to next year. Roll on 2027 πŸ•·πŸ–€πŸ•·

Just a quick post a gentleman has asked us who was positioned next to Spartan Exotics they were selling Tarantulas can you please let us know if this was you. The gentlemens name who is enquiring is Ben Thomas-Bell . Due to the floor plan going t**s up completely my fault and I can only apologise i don't remember who it was. Also can Zoo On Wheels please check their messages as a customer of yours from the show is trying to contact you.

Ok so I feel i owe an explanation to everyone. The traders list is bigger than before and with some people asking for extra tables, some booked last minute and others wanting to be next to other certain traders it's been stressful, Chris Carter from Invicta kindly help with half the floor plan and I have been trying to finish it however its causing me incredible stress plus when I said my health isn't great its becuase im growing a tiny human and the nausea, exhaustion and sleepless nights are killing me. Some may know i lost my child last year. My child died on the 24th April 2025 just 4 days before my birthday and was left in my womb until the 4th June. Im terrified of losing this one as its early days and the ptsd is majorly bothering me after what I went through last year. Many people have been telling me to cancel last minute but I cant and wont do that to people. I run the show and do everything on my own as one person and its bloody hard work. Luckily I have a few good friends who are able to help out on the day but for the rest of the year its all down to me. I have released the list but still stressing with the floor plan with everything else going on. Im doing my very best and im sorry its taking time. I hope you can understand.

I can only apologise and just tell you I wouldnt cancel or give up becuase that's not who I am.
