The INDX National Kidswear and Kids Footwear Shows will bring the childrenswear industry together this weekend for two days of buying, networking and expert insight.
Taking place from Sunday 5 July to Monday 6 July 2026 at Cranmore Park, Solihull, the event will connect independent retailers with leading childrenswear and kids’ footwear brands, alongside a buyer-focused programme covering trends, seasonal planning and business development.
Buyer-focused event programme
Nicola Perring, founder of The Nest, will host a dedicated Meet the Experts area at this season’s show, offering one-to-one consultations focused on Conscious Retail in the Independent Sector. She will also deliver a presentation at 11am on both days, followed by an interactive Q&A session.
Other experts on hand include The Footwear Hub, which specialises in foot development, health and what makes a good fit, and Emily Beardsworth, founder of May Creative Marketing, who will be advising on photography, websites, graphic design and social media.
Show trends
The content programme will also see trend consultant Fiona Coleman return to curate an on-site trend area spotlighting key colours, materials, details and prints, giving buyers a practical visual tool for interpreting the season’s trends into store-ready buys.
Fiona will focus on three trends at the show: Dreamscape, a surreal, digitally inspired direction with oversized florals and dreamlike landscapes; Riviera Club, a polished yet playful take on vintage beach club and nautical styling; and Crafted Nature, a softer, nostalgic summer story rooted in outdoor discovery, wildflowers and garden spaces.
