Why Exhibit
The season’s most important marketplace for Home and Gift.
Autumn Fair is the most important home & gift marketplace of the season. Perfectly timed at the start of the Golden Quarter, the busiest and most profitable shopping time of year, Autumn Fair provides the ideal platform for suppliers to showcase their products and services to thousands of UK and international retailers.
Discover exciting new launches including Jewellery & Watch and Fashion (JWF), The Furniture Collection and our evolved Design & Source sector. It’s our second year in our new home, the Atrium of the NEC, and this year is going to be better than ever.

Reasons to exhibit
Meet new customers
Autumn Fair attracts over 20,000 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. Join us this September at Autumn Fair, 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. Join the Sustainability Trail to promote your business ethos, upload your press releases and products for buyers to search by, and be sure to book your stand in time to be featured in The Little Black Book as well as all our onsite catalogues. The earlier you book, the more there is to get involved with!
Exciting new launches
Jewellery & Watch and Fashion (JWF)
We’re bringing together the most coveted brands showcasing the most inspired classic to contemporary jewellery, watches and must-have fashion pieces including footwear, handbags, wallets, scarves and luggage.
The Furniture Collection
Perfectly positioned within Home, Living & Décor, The Furniture Collection is the destination for large-scale furniture including beds, sofas and occasional chairs. The ideal platform for buyers across retail, hospitality and interior design to meet suppliers and explore furniture and furnishings both in stock and ready for the new year.
Design & Source
The previously-named Sourcing sector is now in its’ second year at Autumn Fair and has evolved into Design & Source. This year, we are growing the number of countries represented and looking to diversify the product offering even further. Design & Source will feature more raw materials with a focus on sustainability to reach an audience of professionals, across the retail, interior and hospitality industries.
