to do homewares What? Exclusively | When? 9 - 10 June, 2026 | Where? Business Design Centre, London This June, London’s Business Design Centre will host the Exclusively Show, a two-day trade event bringing a myriad of homeware suppliers together under one roof. Organised by the British Home Enhancement Trade Association (BHETA), it provides a focused, curated environment where suppliers can connect with quality buyers. BHETA have put special emphasis on growing Exclusively’s international visitors, in fact, the organisers say international engagement has grown considerably in recent years, with key retail buyers and distributors travelling from across Europe and beyond to source
new products, meet existing suppliers and explore emerging trends in home and lifestyle categories. This year alone, the event will welcome visitors from Germany, the Netherlands, France, Austria, Norway, Switzerland, Poland, and Dubai. Steve Richardson, general manager of BHETA says: “We are very encouraged by the growing number of international visitors who are attending the Exclusively Housewares show each year.” For 2026, Exclusively Show is launching a new initiative to help qualifying international visitors make the most of their time in London. For the first time, VIP international guests will be offered an expertly guided London store tour, visiting bricks-and-
mortar retail locations across the city. The tour will showcase products from UK and international suppliers, many of whom will be exhibiting at the show, displayed in real retail environments. These store visits provide buyers and distributors with a valuable opportunity to benchmark competitor
ranges, evaluate merchandising solutions firsthand, and gain a clearer understanding of the UK market ahead of the show. Steve adds: “The London Store Tour is proving particularly popular. We are excited to bring international retailers together with the 250 brands on show at the exhibition.” Register now at www. exclusivelyshows.co.uk
