Bright new finds at Spring Fair
Spring Fair Portfolio Director Nicola Meadows
Spring Fair returns to the NEC Birmingham from February 5 to February 8, hosting a dynamic and inspirational gift offering
Billed as ‘the UK’s leading marketplace for wholesale home, gift and fashion, and the largest and most accessible shop for shops’, Spring Fair puts the most sought-after products and industry-leading creative thinkers under one easy-to-navigate roof - giving retailers unparalleled cross-buying opportunities.
Almost 90% sold out across the show, Spring Fair encompasses 14 sectors within four destinations across eight halls: Gift which includes Christmas, Floral and Seasonal Decorations; Home which includes Living & Décor, Housewares, Everyday, and The Summerhouse; Moda fashion which features its own catwalk as well as jewellery & watches, womenswear, fashion accessories, and footwear; and the newly launched responsible sourcing show Source Home & Gift.
All the destinations offer thousands of much-loved and established favourites, alongside an array of sustainable and new brands showing for the first time.
The flourishing Gift sector continues to offer everything you want to gift and be gifted with. Curated to create special moments from the show floor to your shop floor, buyers can explore an array of bestsellers, contemporary designs, and unique and personalised products.
Visitors will discover the latest designs from Sass & Belle, Widdop & Co, DCUK, Lesser & Pavey, Fantasia, Gingko, Portico Designs, Thumbs Up, Coulson MacLeod, Gift Republic, History & Herald, Kikkerland, Bookspeed, Enesco, Puckator, Joe Davies, Fallen Fruit, Half Moon Bay, Shoeless Joe, Abysse Corp, University Games, Elgate, Rubies Masquerade, Straits Trading, British Fossil, and Giftware Trading.
The debut Design First area offers a first-time showcase to new brands including Fox Under the Moon, Nzuri Trading, Dunked, and Loyal Candles.
Meanwhile, Hall 4 will feature the New Product Showcase and the Power of One x Products of Change Showcase, with a curated edit of the best-in-show and sustainability.
Spring Fair portfolio director Nicola Meadows said: “The team is very excited about opening the doors to the next Spring Fair. We are all committed to offering our visitors - thousands of the UK’s brilliant retailers - the most accessible, diverse, and inspirational marketplace for discovering their shops’ bright new finds.
“The show offers an incomparable destination for sourcing newness, innovation and your next bestsellers. Our new vision for discovery builds on the show’s heritage as a trusted platform for buyers and adds an improved layout and unparalleled opportunities for cross-buying and creativity.”
As the buyers’ one-stop marketplace for everything new and on-trend for 2023, Spring Fair is the most impressive home, gift and fashion buying showcase.
