KIT SHOW 2026

Wildscreen Festival 2026 will see the return of our iconic Kit Show, dedicated to showcasing the companies and technology at the cutting edge of natural world storytelling.

The Kit Show is open to all in-person Delegates and will be held at the Apex Hotel, Bath.

Meet the world's leading providers of natural history kit to hear about their latest products and expert insights.

We’re partnering with world-renowned provisioners of filmmaking equipment, accessories, and expertise to exhibit throughout this year’s festival. Wildscreen delegates can benefit from the knowledge of those working at the heart of this industry, gaining insights on which kit best complements their craft. 
 
In return, our exhibitors are able to engage directly with Wildscreen delegates to hear their perspectives and advise on how their products are best suited to them as creatives, proving to be a brilliant opportunity for providers to liaise directly with existing and new consumers in the natural history industry.
 
Thursday at the Festival will feature a wildlife media production kit show, craft workshops and masterclasses led by industry experts (alongside 1-1 meetings), giving space for attendees to network and focus on their particular skills and craft areas.
