Taking place in Long Eaton from 2427th May, Spring Long Point is set to finally break the industry’s trade show fast. Organised by the Long Eaton Guild of Furniture Manufacturers, the biannual fair differs from the trade show norm as it takes place across the Derbyshire town’s myriad furniture showrooms and mills, making it an intimate and inspiring experience, yet enabling visitors to keep a safe distance if required.
“Long Point enjoys the reputation of being the most relaxed and enjoyable furniture exhibition within the UK,” says the guild’s chairman, Andrew Mitchell. “Our autumn event last year was an endorsement of this, when, under strict Covid-19 rules, the sound of manufacturers and retailers enjoying meeting face to face for the first time in months in relaxed surroundings echoed throughout the showrooms. “Long Eaton continues to be the ideal location for a furniture exhibition, further endorsed by the addition of three new locations and six major brands joining us. “All signs indicate a growth in furniture sales now that restrictions have been eased, and we hope that you will take this opportunity of viewing the latest collections from all exhibitors.” Iain James will present its successful Burr Walnut and Rosewood collections.
