About The Lab

Forget the old, stuffy halls and endless rows of the same. The Lab Convention is about creating an environment where people want to spend the day, exploring, connecting, discovering, and having fun while they do it.

Set against the backdrop of a Chelmsford racecourse, our event blends a unique, spacious setting with over 145 vendor tables. Whether you’re here to trade, shop, learn, or just soak up the vibes, The Lab Convention is where you want to be.

We’re home-grown, built from passion and collaboration, but we’re not afraid to evolve the formula. A convention with real chemistry - and yet we’ll never lose the down-to-earth, people-first energy that has got us to where we are today!

So, are you ready to join the experiment?
