Exclusively Show attracted more than 130 exhibitors and over 250 brands when it returned to London’s Business Design Centre on 9-10 June.
Organised by BHETA (British Home Enhancement Trade Association), the annual trade event showcased new products, trend forecasts and merchandising ideas, with organisers reporting strong engagement from buyers across multiple retail channels.
Reflecting on this year’s show, Exhibition Director Will Jones said: “Initial feedback from exhibitors and visitors is that Exclusively delivered to its usual high standard with a strong turnout of quality visitors keen to engage and trade. Particularly pleasing has been the reaction to the new and improved visitor initiatives with all surpassing last year’s engagement levels.
“The new London Store Tour was very well received and will be enhanced further next year. The industry continues to face many challenges but during the course of the show it was a pleasure to see so many engaged and dare I say it smiling faces.”
According to organisers, exhibitor demand remained strong, with stand space selling out ahead of the event. Buyers from a wide range of retail channels attended the show, including representatives from major retailers such as Harrods, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury’s, Lidl, Ocado, Currys, Boots, B&Q, Costco, Wayfair, Robert Dyas, Next, Amazon, Lakeland, TK Maxx, Argos and John Lewis, alongside independent retailers, department stores, garden centres, online marketplaces and the HORECA sector.
A number of well-known culinary and lifestyle personalities also appeared at the show, including Tommy Banks with Victorinox, John Torode and Matt Tebbutt with Prestige by Meyer Group, Jeremy Pang with Dexam and Lynsey Queen of Clean with Swan.
Among the new features for 2026 was a revamped Trend Showcase, designed to highlight emerging consumer trends through product displays incorporating colour, texture and fragrance. Visitors were also able to access a downloadable Buying Guide featuring trend-led product selections and retail insights.
The show additionally launched its first London Store Tour for international visitors, offering guided visits to a selection of retail destinations across the capital. The initiative was introduced as overseas attendance continued to grow.
Exclusively Show will return to the Business Design Centre, London, on 8-9 June 2027.
