We are moving to Olympia


Building on the past Investing in the future In 2015, three complementary, designled events – Top Drawer, Home and Craft – will move to one magnificent central London location. Everything’s coming together beautifully.

Olympia London | 11–13 January 2015

A New Super Event: Top Drawer | Home | Craft Thanks to its guiding principles of creativity, quality and selectivity, Top Drawer has been the UK’s foremost design-led gift event for 30 years; a favourite with UK and overseas buyers alike. With the recent addition of sister shows Home and Craft, each serving a complementary market, Top Drawer has evolved into a superevent, presenting buyers with more than 1,000 leading UK and international brands in London each spring. Together, Top Drawer, Home and Craft make up the UK’s most compelling design-led trade event; one that’s meticulously curated and beautifully designed, with a unique character and appeal.

Our vision is to continue to develop the shows to create the ultimate buying destination for trade buyers of design-led homeware, gifts, accessories and craft, each spring and autumn.
