The Exclusively Show 2025 confirmed its position as the UK’s key trade event for housewares, tabletop, and small domestic electricals, with early sell-out of exhibitor space and a rise in both domestic and international attendance.
Held in June at the Business Design Centre, the show fully booked by January, earlier than any previous year. Over 140 exhibitors and 300 brands took part, with major UK and international retailers in attendance, including Harrods, John Lewis, Tesco, Amazon, Dunelm, Wayfair, and many others.
“Exclusively 2025 exceeded expectations across the board,” said Will Jones, Chair of Exclusively and Chief Operating Officer of show owner, BHETA. “We’ve seen consistent growth in visitor numbers each year since the pandemic, with this year attracting more high-quality buyers, more international interest, and unprecedented levels of media and influencer engagement. There was a great buzz to the show – and re-bookings for 2026 during the show were at a record level.”
A refreshed second-day programme supported consistent footfall, while new product development and trend forecasting remained key draws. Retailers responded positively to innovation on display, with increased demand from both major chains and independents.
Exclusively 2026 will take place on 9–10 June 2026, and organisers advise early booking due to high expected demand.
“In today’s tough retail landscape, where consolidation is reducing both the number of retailers and the size of buying teams, we are very pleased that Exclusively continues to grow in reach, relevance and results,” added Mr Jones. “This is testament to the calibre of brands, the dedication of our team, and the strategic focus we place on attracting the right visitors – including global buyers and influential media. And it was encouraging to feel very positive reactions from retailers to the ’newness’ on display from exhibitors”.
