INDX National Kidswear Show and INDX National Kids Footwear Show, the UK’s only dedicated children’s fashion and footwear trade exhibitions, will open to buyers this weekend.

Running from Sunday 6 July to Monday 7 July at Cranmore Park, the shows collectively cover independent childrenswear retailers’ buying needs in one convenient location, covering apparel, footwear and accessories from baby through to teens.

Alongside a commercial edit of new and returning brands, exclusive show offers and expert advice, INDX plays a vital role in uniting the industry in the UK, providing an unmissable opportunity to network, connect and collaborate.

 

 

Commenting on the summer shows and the return of INDX National Kids Footwear Show is event manager Varsha Chohan

“At INDX, we are constantly evolving to keep up with the fast-paced retail world, and we are always on the lookout for new ways to equip retailers with the tools and connections they need to thrive. That’s why we teamed up with the kids’ footwear industry to bring retailers the INDX National Kids Footwear Show.

 

 

“The launch show in January 2025 was an out-and-out success, and we are thrilled to be bringing the show back for a second edition this summer. Our community of retailers and suppliers have told us that they loved having both the Kidswear and Kids Footwear shows side by side in January, so here we are again for July 2025.”

Footwear Hub

This season, visitors to INDX will have the opportunity to meet the Footwear Hub, a new central resource for foot health information spearheaded by independent shoe fitters.

Co-founded by Nadia Arden-Scott, owner of ShuZu Shoes in Farnborough and an ex-president of the Society of Shoe Fitters, alongside Tanya Marriott, owner of children’s shoe shop SoleLution in Portishead, the initiative aims to become a national point of reference for foot health information, potentially offering guidance on choosing the right shoes, understanding foot conditions and finding qualified fitters.

Launched just in time for the busy Back to School season, Footwearhub.org is where you can find easy-to-understand information about foot development, foot health and what makes a good fit when buying shoes, as well as an interactive directory of members.

 

 

INDX Summer Networking Social

Attendees to both shows are invited to the INDX Summer Networking Social taking place after the exhibition on Sunday 6 July at The Loft, Cranmore Park’s exclusive eatery and hospitality experience. The Networking Social is a chance to get together, catch up, connect and relax, with drinks, canapes and a backdrop of live music.

To further celebrate the summer season in style, visitors will also be treated to Lanza’s traditional Italian ice cream, sponsored by INDX and available Sunday 6 July from 12-2pm.
