Destination inspiration! London Southend Airport to host Travel Show 2026 this Sunday
London Southend Airport is set to welcome holiday-hungry travellers this Sunday, 25 January, as it hosts its third annual consumer Travel Show at the Holiday Inn – this year in collaboration with Hays Travel.
Following the success of last year’s event, which attracted more than 300 would-be passengers, the 2026 Travel Show promises even more destination inspiration, exclusive on-the-day deals and unmissable prizes – including a 5* 7-night holiday – for those planning their next easy, speedy, friendly trip abroad from the award-winning airport.
The event, which is free to attend, will feature exhibits from holiday brands, travel experts, agents and more, including the likes of easyJet holidays, VisitMalta and Inghams Ski. Presentations from leading tour operators will also take place throughout the day.
A team from Hays Travel, the UK’s largest independent travel agent, will be on hand to help guests book holidays there-and-then, as well as offer expert advice on everything from destination choices to things to do in each location.
Attendees will also have the chance to enter a free prize draw, with two key prizes up for grabs:
- A seven-night stay for a family of four at the luxury 5* Les Orangers Garden Villas and Bungalows in Tunisia
- The chance to ‘win a Range Rover Evoque for a weekend’, courtesy of Group 1 Land Rover Southend
Business Development Director at London Southend Airport, Nigel Mayes, said: “After such a fantastic response to our first two Travel Shows, we’re delighted to bring it back for 2026 with even more for visitors to enjoy. With a growing choice of destinations from London Southend – we’re now at more than 25 easyJet routes across Europe and North Africa – this event is all about inspiring people, offering genuine value, and showing just how easy, speedy, friendly it is to start a holiday from their local airport.”
The London Southend Airport Travel Show takes place this Sunday, January 25 from 11am – 4pm at the Holiday Inn. Free parking is available on-site at the Holiday Inn.
