Registration opens for Autumn Fair 2026

Registration has officially opened for Autumn Fair 2026, returning to the NEC Birmingham from 6–9 September 2026.
The show will once again co-locate with Glee 2026 on 8–9 September, creating what organisers describe as Europe’s biggest buying event for home, gift, garden and fashion retail.
More than 1,250 exhibitors will take part across both events, offering retailers access to over 500,000 products and opportunities to source, discover and connect ahead of the peak Q4 trading season.
Organisers say the combined shows will attract more than 20,000 buyers with a collective spend of £500 million, with 80% of attendees holding buying power.
Autumn Fair is designed to help retailers finalise Christmas and Autumn/Winter ranges, discover new brands and secure stock quickly, with over 25% of brands new to the show and more than 30% exhibiting exclusively there.
Visitors can also access trend-led seminars, workshops, buying tours and one-to-one expert sessions aimed at helping retailers make faster and more confident purchasing decisions.
Matthew Mein, Event Director of Autumn Fair, said the co-location with Glee gives buyers unrivalled access to a broader range of products, suppliers and opportunities under one roof.
He added that the event supports the way independent retailers buy today, offering flexible, in-season purchasing and ready-to-ship stock to help them manage peak season demand without unnecessary risk.
Retailers and buyers can now secure their place at Autumn Fair 2026 and be part of the industry’s most important buying moment of the year.
