The autumn fair promises to be a central show for the Christmas season – household goods

The Autumn Fair will take place at the NEC Birmingham from 1st to 4th September and this year's event promises to be a major event for retailers looking to stock their shelves and create the most enticing window displays in preparation for the Christmas season.

Offering a comprehensive overview of the latest trends in homewares and unrivalled giftware, Autumn Fair is the event to keep you on trend and ready for the Christmas rush.

Soraya Gadelrab, Event Director of Autumn Fair, said: “While the impact of the cost of living crisis casts a shadow over the 2023 festive season, the resilience of the sector is clear to see. Our exhibitors are optimistic that consumer spending will increase on more personal, unique and meaningful gifts across toys, beauty and wellbeing, fashion accessories and home décor.

“As the retail industry grapples with uncertainty, focusing on the holiday season is critical to achieving profitable growth in 2024. The Autumn Fair provides an unparalleled showcase for this important shopping period.”

As the largest seasonal trade fair in the second half of the year, the autumn fair boasts over 800 exhibitors, 30% of whom are exclusively represented at this fair.

With over 200 brand new exhibitors, innovative new retail pavilions and exclusive partnerships, the fall fair is the ideal hunting ground for finding the perfect gifts for these consumers.

Autumn Fair is proud to announce the exclusive return of My Gifts Trade to The Summerhouse. Alongside its bestselling products from renowned brands such as Costa Nova, Que Rico and Cosy Homes, My Gifts Trade will be launching new must-have brands this September including Tokyo Design Studio, Dutch Decor and Hoii.
