INDX Shows, the UK’s ultimate portfolio of industry-specific trade shows, has unveiled its schedule for 2027, solidifying its position as the county’s leading buying destination.
Hosted at Cranmore Park Exhibition Centre in Solihull, the 2027 calendar continues the brand’s mission to provide a business-focused, buyer-centric environment for the independent retail sector.
Owned and curated by Associated Independent Stores (AIS), the UK’s leading buying group for fashion, home and leisure, the INDX brand has become famous for its unique, ‘by buyers for buyers’ ethos, and the 2027 line-up will once again feature a diverse selection of business-first trade events.
Commenting is Jane Bartlett, Director of Events at AIS and Cranmore Park. “As we look ahead to 2027, our focus remains on delivering a curated edit of the best brands in a professional, friendly, and productive environment. By announcing our dates early, we allow our community of independent retailers and exhibitors the clarity they need to plan their peak buying seasons with confidence.”
Key highlights for 2027
Offering a unified buying experience, the 2027 schedule continues to align complementary shows – such as INDX National Kidswear and Kids Footwear Shows – to maximise efficiency for multi-category buyers.
Every 2027 show will also maintain the hallmark visitor benefits, including free entry, free onsite parking, and complimentary refreshments for all registered retail buyers. Furthermore, the events will continue to emphasise an order-writing approach – designed by buyers, for buyers – and are scheduled strategically to align with industry-standard ordering periods.
