Manchester Furniture Show to Go Ahead at Harrogate Convention Centre co-located with the Home & Gift Buyers’ FestivalManchester Furniture Show will go ahead this year and will be hosted at the Harrogate Convention Centre (HCC), 18-21 July 2021, co-located with Home & Gift Buyers’ Festival.
This exciting decision has been made to further strengthen and secure the2021 edition of Manchester Furniture Show. This will give exhibitors the opportunity to network and do business with over 10,000 additional buyers across four days and give buyers the opportunity to explore over 650 brands across four days. Manchester Furniture Show will be co-located with a show celebrating its 60th Anniversary.
Portfolio Director Zoë Bonser said, “We are delighted that we are able to run the furniture industry’s first and largest in-person event for buyers and suppliers to unite and do business in over a year. After such uncertainty, we are positive that this is the opportunity the industry has been waiting for, and with 87% of buyers saying they would attend the physical show in July, we are expecting a strong return.”
Zoë goes onto say, “These events bring together over 100 years’ trade-show experience, and combined with the launch of our new digital platform, REVEAL, we cannot wait to share our fully integrated live and digital offering for the first time with the Retail industry’s largest gathering. We are excited to share more information about REVEAL very soon...”
Clarion Events has confirmed that the show will have its own entrances with a separate registration process, and will be situated across four halls.All buyers will be invited as normal, and exhibitors will also benefit from the wealth of specialist interiors buyers that Home & Gift Buyers’ Festival attracts.
With safety remaining paramount, Abigail Quesnel, Senior Operations Manager added: “Safety is our priority, and we are working closely with the Association of Event Organisers (AEO), which is liaising with the government directly on live event guidelines to ensure the best possible experience for exhibitors and visitors alike.”
“We are in the process of contacting all Manchester Furniture Show exhibitors, and visitors can expect to see more communications about thisexciting new development over the coming days and weeks”, said Zoë. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers and stakeholders for their patience and understanding over the last 12 months, and to say that we cannot wait to see you all in-person in July for Retail’s highly anticipated return to live B2B trade shows.”
