About Spring Fair 2026

Spring Fair 2026 is a trade fair in Birmingham, United Kingdom.

Spring Fair is the UK's leading trade show for gift and home products, held each February at the NEC in Birmingham. The 2026 edition runs 1-4 February 2026. Organised by Hyve Group, Spring Fair gathers well over 1,400 exhibitors across curated sectors spanning home, gift, fashion accessories, beauty and greetings, and draws tens of thousands of retail buyers, positioned as the event that opens the UK retail buying year.

Spring Fair is a retail-buying fair, so stand design centres on clear product display and order-writing. Exhibitors present broad ranges to buyers moving efficiently through many sectors, so stands need well-organised shelving and display systems, strong brand identity and space for buyer meetings and orders. Because the show is organised into curated sectors, the presentation style shifts by category, from gift and home room-sets to accessory and beauty displays, but the common need is easy product access and a distinct look.

The NEC hosts Spring Fair across many halls organised by sector, so hall placement relative to a company's category matters to reaching the right buyers. The NEC's location beside Birmingham Airport and its own rail station eases visitor and exhibitor access, with load-in through the venue's extensive dock system. NEC build rules apply. Exhibitors confirm stand design and hall placement well ahead of the February build.

For companies exhibiting at Spring Fair, a builder with Birmingham and NEC experience is a practical advantage: display-led retail stands benefit from local knowledge of the venue's logistics, load-in and approved-contractor rules, reducing on-site risk during the show that opens the UK retail calendar.
