HARROGATE’S HOME IMPROVEMENT Home & Gift 2022 will be opening in Harrogate from the 17-20th July, and this year will see the launch of the brand-new Furniture Collection … www.homeandgift.co.uk
Hall Q and the King’s Suite at Harrogate Convention Centre will feature the latest home and furniture pieces from some of the UK’s top brands, and Furniture Collection buyers will also be able to enjoy the rest of the buying festival and shop for giftware, fashion, gift food and more across the show’s marquees and halls. Following on from the success of the Manchester Furniture Show co-location at Home & Gift last year, organiser Clarion says it wanted to offer buyers a further selection of furniture and home
accessory brands – including the likes of Bronte By Moon, Kettle Interiors, Shankar, Smart Trading, Zinc Home, Deluxe Home Art, AWS and IFD, Gallery Direct, T A Interiors and more. Meanwhile, the Home & Gift sectors will include Design-Led Gifts, Food Emporium, Gift, Home & Interiors, Jewellery and Fashion. The buyer crossover makes the festival unique, offering brands the opportunity to connect with buyers of all sizes, from small retailers to large department stores and online giants. James Ellis from Ancient Mariner, an exhibitor from last year’s Manchester Furniture Show, had a highly successful event, and states: “The buyer crossover suited our giftware ranges perfectly.” Some of the retail industry’s key buyers have already confirmed their attendance this year – including John Lewis, Next, Soho House, Dobbies Garden Centre, Garsons, Roys of Wroxham and English Heritage. Interested parties can register for a ticket on the Home & Gift website, while anyone interested in being part of Furniture Collection should contact James Howard on james.howard@ clarionevents.com
