Registration is now live for Autumn Fair, billed as the UK’s largest seasonal showcase for Home, Gift & Fashion, with more than 800 brands confirmed and ready to sell.
The event, which takes place from September 1 to September 4 at NEC Birmingham, has also announced that over 25% of the exhibitor line-up is new, and over 30% are exclusive to the show.
More than 12,000 indies and buyers from high street names including Tesco, John Lewis, Next, WHSmith, Dunelm, Amazon, ASOS, Boots, Sainsbury’s, TJX, Hamleys, Elphicks, and Cardzone, will shop the show for an injection of seasonal newness during retail’s peak buying season.
With visitors from 60-plus countries – 85% of which are actively looking to buy or source new products – Autumn Fair is a key show to meet buyers that buy at this time of year. Over 70% of Autumn Fair visitors are independent retailers, many of whom attend for much-needed stock for Christmas.
With 10 product sectors including gifts, greetings, stationery, candles, home décor and accessories, toys, and fashion, Autumn Fair 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 exhibition’s new collaboration with online marketplace Faire aims to not only help hundreds of exhibiting brands take orders on its platform from retailers attending the show, but retailers at Autumn Fair will also gain access to Faire’s extensive global network of brands, helping them to discover thousands more products and take advantage of a 50% discount for new retailers on their first order, to help them easily shop at the show and beyond.
In the Gift sector, retailers will find everything from contemporary designs and trend-led ranges to unique, personalised and licensed gifts.
