Scotland’s Trade Fair Spring Set to Showcase Innovation from 18–20 Jan 2026
A date for the calendar of every retailer in Scotland and North of England is 18-20 Jan 2026, when the renowned Scotland’s Trade Fair takes place at the SEC, Glasgow. Welcoming thousands of buyers and industry experts from across Scotland and beyond this is the marketplace for gifts, homewares, textiles, jewellery, craft and fine food and drink.
Some 450 suppliers, ranging from artisan producers to leading Scottish brands, will be launching their 2026 ranges or exhibiting for the first time as they showcase an array of quality, desirable commercial products. As one of the first major trade events of the year, Scotland's Trade Fair offers buyers an early opportunity to discover new products, place orders and forecast trends for the season ahead.
“Scotland’s Trade Fair has always been a hub of creativity and commerce,” said Mark Saunders, Show Director and CEO of Springboard Events. “In 2026, we're building on that legacy by championing independent makers, spotlighting sustainable production, and offering a platform for networking and knowledge-sharing.”
The fair takes place at the SEC in Glasgow and is held in conjunction with Scotland’s Speciality Food & Drink Show offering retailers a one stop shop of the latest textiles, accessories, jewellery and home and giftware as well as the best food & drink from Scotland’s finest small producers.
Scotland’s Trade Fair 2026 is free to attend for registered trade buyers.
