Trade and consumer shows
Trade fairs in the UK and Ireland
Autumn Fair
Annual retail trade show exhibiting independent brands to big- name retailers at the NEC in Birmingham. Still have nightmares about our stand, which was next to a fancy dress business which put on a show every 30 minutes. Top tip – really look at your location if you want to retain your sanity!
NEC (food and beverage shows)
The NEC offers a plethora of food and drink opportunities, includ- ing Food & Drink Expo and the Ice Cream and Artisan Food Show.
NOPEX (Natural & Organic Products Expo)
Focusing on all things natural and organic, this event allows you to showcase your products, be they food, cosmetics or supplements to retailers who are looking for natural products.
Spring Fair
Annual retail trade show exhibiting independent brands to big- name retailers at the NEC in Birmingham. Agony but excellent in researching retailers both big and small, domestic and international.
Top Drawer
Tradeshow for emerging brands and established names showcasing new design-led products from all corners of the lifestyle spectrum. Retail buyers from all over the UK and abroad attend. Made lots of friends here, and everyone gives you a discount on their stuff!
Consumer fairs in the UK and Ireland
Spirit of Christmas Fair
In partnership with House & Garden magazine, this event showcases independent brands and small businesses across a range of industries. Full of high-spending women who are fuelling their day with the occasional glass of prosecco, it’s a great way to sell stock early for Christmas.
