The 2016 Telegraph Ski & Snowboard Show Back at Battersea

The 2016 Telegraph Ski & Snowboard Show Park will return for its second year at the Battersea Evolution exhibition centre within Battersea park this autumn.

Although sticking to its new venue, the show is moving back to its late October date from its early November one last year, meaning it will be staged in the English school holidays just before Halloween from the 27th – 30th October, 2016.

There will be something of a family feel to this year's show too with magic shows, face painting, a free-to-use ice rink for all abilities as well as a real snow tubing slope. There's a new Kid's Corner promised as the hub of family entertainments.

Children aged under 11 will be free, 11 – 16 year olds £8, and there's an advanced purchase 'family ticket' currently available for £30, otherwise advance prices for adults are £15.

Most of the popular attractions from last year's show will be back too, along with some new ideas.

'Mount Battersea' – a real snow slope – will be back for tubing and events, there'll also be a rail jam, the return of the Alpine Street Food area providing authentic dishes and regional wine and beers completes the après vibe. The Altitude Comedy Festival tent (pictured above), Boot Fitting Clinic and Mountain Talks Theatre will also return.

The Travel Genius Bar where experienced ski journalists and other experts provide top tips will be back and from 5pm on Friday 26th there'll be a late night après party.

Opening times are below and earlybird tickets are on sale now via: www.skiandsnowboard.co.uk

Do you know what the admission price actually includes yet?

I seem to recall that last year the price was quite high, but it included a subscription to a magazine. The problem was, this was not advertised very well, so I think many people stayed away as they felt the cost of "entry" was too high.

Wasn't the entry price much higher last year? This seems more realistic...

I think it was £20+ last year but it did include the Telegraph ski mag subscription. This is also the 'Early Bird' price so will perhaps go up to £20+ at some point - so far they've not said what full price is or if mag subscription is included this year (no mention i could see of that on their site) - but have asked the question :) Agree £15 seems more realistic and family ticket good if you've got teens.

PS If anyone is nostalgic for daily mail sponsored shows at Olympia the Daily Mail (sponsored) Family Travel Show, (With a bit of Skiing) at Olympia is on October 1-2 with a few ski exhibitors so far listed including Esprit Ski. Not sure if any connection between that happening and telegraph show' ramping up the child/family side this year? http://familytravelshow.com/exhibitors-sponsors/

The first Daily Mail ski show I went to was at the Royal Horticultural Hall off Victoria Street..that's proper nostalgia!

From the ticket office: "Hi, I can confirm that a magazine subscription is included within the ticket price! We haven't set this up yet but will hang on to your details when you buy a ticket."
