Harrogate International Nursery Fair is now open for bookings for the 2026 show, taking place from 18–20 October 2026 at the Harrogate Convention Centre. Priority booking for returning exhibitors closed last week, with uptake exceeding expectations.

Show director, Adrian Sneyd, says, “We are delighted that, following a highly successful 2025 event, the majority of our larger brands and many smaller companies have already confirmed their space for this year’s show.”

As the UK’s only dedicated nursery trade exhibition, Harrogate International Nursery Fair remains the preferred buying destination for UK retailers, while continuing to attract influential buyers from Europe and beyond.

Following last year’s event, Emma Hudson, commercial director at Tutti Bambini, says, “Tutti Bambini loved being back at Harrogate International Nursery Fair. It’s a key date in our annual calendar, giving us valuable time with customers to present both current and forthcoming collections.

“We had excellent appointments with new and existing customers, and the show was so busy on Monday and Tuesday that the whole team was engaged throughout the day. We’re already looking ahead to next year.”

“We had a great show, a full appointment diary, and every key player we expected was there,” says Nick Paxton, CEO of Silver Cross.

First-time exhibitor, Lisa Joyce from Folk & Thread, adds, “The show was 10/10 for us. We had incredible interest from overseas, which alone made it worthwhile. The atmosphere was fantastic – a real sense of the industry coming together. The marketing before and during the show worked brilliantly, with several visitors telling us they discovered us through the newsletter.”

Reflecting on the show’s momentum, Sneyd concludes, “The past two years clearly demonstrate that the industry values an October event with a strong turnout of quality buyers. We’re pleased to confirm that we’ve secured these dates not only for 2026, but also for 2027.”
