Autumn Fair is the UK's mid-season buying event for home, gift and fashion. Over four days at the NEC Birmingham, you'll discover exhibitors – from trusted names to emerging brands – across three destinations.
Source with confidence, connect with suppliers who understand your business, and tap into a programme of talks and trends designed to help you sell smarter. Whether you're filling gaps, finding fresh product, or seeking inspiration, Autumn Fair is the show for you.
Autumn Fair is where independent retailers come to buy. Whether you run a high street gift shop, an online homeware store, a garden centre, or a boutique fashion outlet, this is your mid-year sourcing moment.
You'll find other buyers from independent retailers, online businesses, garden centres, interior designers, department stores, museum and gallery shops, visitor attractions, and wholesalers.
If you have buying responsibility and need ready-to-ship stock for the busiest months of the year, this is where you belong.
For the first time ever, Autumn Fair and Glee, are running side by side on 8-9 September to create Europe's largest retail event in the second half of the year. That means access to over 1,200 suppliers across home, gift, fashion, and garden – all under one roof.
Whether your customers are blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living or you're looking to expand your range, this is the most efficient sourcing trip you can attend.
Every buyer comes to Autumn Fair with something different in mind. Find the page that fits what you're looking for.
