2020 Seminar Programme
TV Presenter Paul Martin joins line-up for October’s GLT Show
The Flog It! presenter and antiques dealer will join travel expert Simon Calder at this year’s Group Leisure & Travel Show on Thursday 8th October.
Paul has presented the popular BBC show since 2002 as well as two series of BBC1’s Britain’s Hidden Heritage and The Manor Reborn along with the ITV series I Never Knew That About Britain and A History of Wallpaper for BBC Four.
He’s the second speaker to be announced for the Seminar Theatre at the exhibition which will be held at the Marshall Arena, Stadium MK, Milton Keynes – returning to the venue after a successful 2019 event. Paul will be talking about historic venues for groups to visit. He has travelled extensively around the UK filming Flog It! and said: “I have learned so much. Meeting people in the antiques trade or people who make their living by skills learned over decades is always a treat”.
He has an art and antiques gallery in Corsham in the Cotswolds, The Table Gallery, and has written a book, Paul Martin: My World of Antiques.
The third speaker will be announced soon.
Seminar sessions and appearances subject to change.

Simon Calder, back by popular demand
Senior travel editor Simon Calder
“I think the new venue in Milton Keynes is great; it really is just exactly the right scale. It feels really friendly and like its own exhibition rather than being part of the NEC – it’s works very well. And the fact that’s in Milton Keynes is great; the first thing I saw when I walked in was the stand all about what you can do in Milton Keynes itself which is brilliant. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed going around and talking to the lovely exhibitors including the Silverstone Experience which I’m very enthused about and the Settle-Carlisle Railway which is such an important rail link.”
Travel writer and broadcaster Simon Calder is the first celebrity speaker to be confirmed for the 2020 Group Leisure & Travel Show.
The senior travel editor of The Independent pulls in the crowds at the annual exhibition, sharing his advice and experience with group leaders and coach operators.
At last year’s show in Milton Keynes, Simon spoke about his 25 years in travel looking back at some of the big stories and changes. He joined cruise expert Julie Peasgood and TV presenter Kate Humble in the Seminar Theatre, drawing in visitors throughout the day.
The third speaker will be announced soon.
