Registration is now open for Autumn Fair, the UK’s largest seasonal showcase for Home, Gift & Fashion with over 800 brands confirmed and ready to sell. It will take place on 1-4 September at NEC Birmingham.
The organisers have also stated that over 25 per cent of the exhibitor line-up is new and over 30 per cent are exclusive to the show.
Over 70 per cent of Autumn Fair visitors are independent retailers, many of whom attend for much-needed stock for Christmas. Lesley Wallace, owner of Wallace Interiors, said: “We visit Autumn Fair every year. September is a good time for the show because it allows us to stock up for Christmas and buy Christmas targeted stock.”
Over 12,000 independent retailers and buyers from high street favourites including Tesco, John Lewis, Next, WHSmith, Dunelm, Amazon, ASOS, Boots, Sainsbury’s, TJX, Hamleys, Elphicks, Cardzone, shop the show for an injection of seasonal newness during retail’s peak buying season.
With visitors from over 60 countries, 85 per cent of which are actively looking to buy or source new products, Autumn Fair is the key show to meet buyers that buy at this time of year.
With 10 definitive product sectors including the latest gifts, greetings, stationery, candles, home décor and accessories, toys, and fashion, the September show will showcase a curated selection of the newest and best-selling products. The 2024 show will also see a greater focus on new and original products, local ‘Best of British’ suppliers and products, and sustainable suppliers.
The event is looking to grow on its success of previous years and events all to attend as it looks to showcase consumers trends.
