Spring Fair

Spring Fair

February 01–04, 2026
NEC, Birmingham

Spring Fair 2026 is the UK’s leading trade show connecting home, gift, fashion and garden buyers with brands that shape the seasons ahead.

Today’s retailers blend categories and ideas – home with fashion, gift with lifestyle, design with functionality. You’re the masters of the mix, redefining what modern retail looks like.

Spring Fair has evolved to reflect that energy – where creativity meets commerce, and every connection sparks something new.
