Held at the NEC in Birmingham, Autumn Fair is a curated show for a new era of retail. Autumn Fair 2021, held 5-8 September will be the first time in 18 months the home and gift retail industry will be able to come together again in-person.

Reasons to exhibit
Meet purchase-ready buyers
Autumn Fair attracts high-quality, transactional visitors across four days. Retailers attend to stock up on their next best-sellers and make short orders in the lead up to Christmas, Easter and beyond. You’re in the best place to meet the right contacts for your business.
We offer brand exposure
We’re the platform to get your brand out there, offering so much more than a stand location. Autumn Fair is a 365, 24/7 proposition rooted in the ability to bring people and products together. From the at-show guides to the Virtual Showroom hosted on our website, you get a business listing that features your product imagery, lookbooks, videos and contact details. The earlier you book, the more there is to get involved with!
Share and discover
We provide exclusive at-show and 365 digital content from government bodies, consultants, key industry associations and trend forecasters to provide you with year-round tools to accelerate your business and achieve success in the modern retail market. Autumn Fair is a 4-day event, but over on The Community, our editorial hub, we keep the community connected for the rest of the 361 days left in the year.

What our exhibitors say
"We are really excited here at Beefayre to be returning to the NEC Autumn fair. We have been busy bees and rebranded during lockdown. We can’t wait to see our customers and show our new collection. This time has made us all appreciate the real need to talk and connect with each other. It’s not enough just to go online, we need to chat, laugh, feel, touch, smell and see all that's new and really communicate with each other. Roll on September, looking forward to seeing everyone.”
Kate, Beefayre
"We’re really looking forward to seeing people face to face again. It’s been such a strange time, being able to connect in person and have spontaneous conversations will be a joy! Though we’re obviously a little cautious, we have every hope that Autumn Fair has the potential to be one of our best trade shows to date. With a whole plethora of new products and ranges, and the enthusiasm we’re seeing from buyers and shop owners now their doors are well and truly open, we are truly excited to get back to the NEC”
Jason C, Hawthorn Handmade
"We are really looking forward to exhibiting at the Autumn Fair 2021, and the opportunity to meet existing and potential new customers, face to face once again. It’s been a difficult year for everyone, but we have been working very hard to keep our current range in production. We have also developed some exciting new products that we will bring to the market in the very near future. We look forward to seeing you on our stand.”
