We have also included some B2C shows to be aware of. These can be great ways of sourcing some different products and finding up and coming brands to help you stand out, pay attention to which stands have the most customers. They also give you a day out of the shop/office to find inspiration in a different way.
We have initially listed the shows in a Calendar. After this you will find an A-Z of all listed shows with further information for each including the days they are open, categories included, approximate number of exhibitors and website.

UK/ Ireland Shows - Buyers and Retailers
Deciding on which shows to visit can be difficult. It is easy to get FOMO when you see other retailers visiting one you are not at. However, it’s important to think about which products you are currently needing and where you will most likely find them. You also need to factor in your time, travel and hotel costs in addition to any staffing costs to release you to visit the show. The best known are probably Spring & Autumn Fair, Top Drawer and Home and Gift Harrogate, but there are plenty of other shows that may also suit you or could replace one of the bigger ones.
