Autumn Fair’s New Business Pavilion aims to put the next generation of creators on the retail map.

Autumn Fair has announced the launch of a New Business Pavilion, designed to support small businesses and the next generation of makers and creators, helping put their products on the map and reach thousands of buyers nationwide.

100 New Business Pavilion ready-to-exhibit entry level price packages are available and include space at both Autumn Fair taking place from 1st – 4th September 2024 at NEC Birmingham, and Spring Fair from 2nd – 5th February 2025.

As the destinations for buyers to explore new and captivating products from some of the most coveted brands in retail, the packages have been curated to give retail’s future leaders a chance to reach a new marketplace, learn from seasoned businesses and be part of the future of retail with Spring and Autumn Fair.

The packages are offered across all sectors, including The Summerhouse, a curated home for style-led and on-trend interior accessories and gifts, as well as Home Living and Décor, Gift, Beauty and Wellbeing, Greetings Cards, Stationery and Wrapping, Kids, Toys and Play, Everyday and within Moda, Clothing and Footwear, Fashion Accessories and Jewellery and Watch.

Soraya Gadelrab, event director of Autumn Fair, said: “We are very excited to launch our New Business packages, tailor-made for small businesses to help them put their products in front of key, purchase-ready buyers from leading stores like Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Tesco and Dunelm, as well as thousands of independent retailers. This opportunity also helps businesses who have never exhibited before to meet and learn from the best by joining the 800+ seasoned makers, creators and product sellers while at the show.”

New Business Pavilion exhibitors will be able to showcase their products at two of the UK’s biggest retail trade events – Autumn Fair 2024 and Spring Fair 2025 – within a large pavilion of other new businesses ready to make the next step selling their products to business across the UK and Ireland. From open plan displays to creative showcasing solutions, new businesses will be able to amplify their presence and products to key buyers at both shows.

Exhibitors will also get access to exhibitor playbooks and association support, dedicated marketing initiatives to support their business and ongoing support from a dedicated account manager.
