It's no longer a case of towels at dawn for that prized sun lounger by the pool, as more of us swap the traditional package holiday for something a bit more challenging.

If faraway paradises or active vacations (trekking, diving or safari) are more your holiday bag, the Adventure Travel And Sports Show aims to cater for your every whim. And the show's Virtual Reality Centre - you can choose from climbing, hang-gliding or diving - will give you the chance to try before you buy.

More than 250 exhibitors will be offering a one-stop travel shop covering everything from specialist holidays and extreme sports to the latest in adventure travel equipment.

Expect travel guides, books and magazines, lectures, advice on travelling with children and health and safety issues - reassuring insights into how much fun can be had on alternative breaks if properly organised, as well as encouraging us to ditch the Brits-abroad holidays and hangovers in the sun.
