Personal support animals

The wellbeing of our visitors is important to us and therefore we endeavour to welcome personal support animals to the venue during events.

Some events may however have restrictions, where the organiser may have assessed that the specific nature of the event would not be a suitable environment for support animals.

In order to support visitors wishing to bring personal support animals to the venue and to ensure smooth entry for those animals permitted, we ask visitors to contact the event organiser directly in advance via email, copying in accessibility@excel.london . Organiser contact details can be found on the event website via our listings here.

Please be aware that welfare facilities for support animals are not available onsite and all owners will be fully responsible for the action of their animal, which will need to be kept under control and on a lead, harness, or in a pet carrier at all times.

Event accredited animals

Some events hosted at Excel London will require exhibitors, attendees, or participants to enter the venue with an animal as part of a display, competition or exhibition.

Animal accreditation for events of this nature will be issued by the event organiser who can be contacted via the event website, you can find the organiser website from the event listing available here. You can also contact us via accessibility@excel.london if you have any further questions.
