Following a buoyant start to 2025, the 2026 INDX Shows calendar is now available, bringing the retail industry an inclusive programme of unmissable shows across fashion, home and leisure.

The 2026 calendar has been enhanced to meet the evolving needs of the industries it serves. The upgrades include extending select shows to three days, providing buyers and exhibitors with more opportunities to connect. Additionally, more shows will now feature weekend dates, offering greater flexibility.

Established to provide a fresh approach to trade shows, INDX Shows has become a one-stop community for industry growth, with the INDX portfolio delivering 20 business and buyer-focused events every year.

In terms of the childrenswear industry, next year’s winter dates for INDX National Kidswear Show and INDX National Kids Footwear Show are 15-16 February 2026, with the summer shows scheduled to run on 5-6 July 2026.
