"For over seven decades, we have proudly stood as the UK's largest retail trade show, bringing together a diverse community of home, gift and fashion brands and buyers from across the retail industry. As we reflect on our history, we're dedicating this year's celebration to the people, brands and businesses who have shaped Spring Fair into the trusted event it is today. Our aim is to put buyers at the forefront of retail and to help set them up for buying success – Spring Fair has everything you're looking for when it comes to new products, insights and experts.
"Everyone, from the Spring Fair team to partners and exhibitors, has put a huge effort into making the Spring Fair experience one to remember – there are revamped entrances, a gorgeous anniversary fragrance, an interactive timeline celebrating the history of the show, special collaborations with partners, a celebration of the 5 senses in the Buyers Lounge, and lots more. We can't wait to open the doors on Sunday and welcome buyers to be a part of Spring Fair's 75th and the future of retail."
