2022 Exhibitions at the NEC

2022 looks set to be jam-packed with exhibitions at the NEC. Almost every possible type of B2B and consumer exhibition is being held spanning home furnishings, boats, security, weddings, utilities to food & drink, higher education and model railways. As if that wasn’t enough, it is time to look forward to the return of the BBC Gardeners World, UK Games Expo and of course Crufts.

It is set to be a very busy year for Envisage staff as we provide staff for most of these exhibitions. There is no doubt that exhibitions are extremely popular because they are the best way to promote a company and its products to a wide audience. Exhibition visitors are keen to buy and get information. This is even more important than ever in 2022 due to the very limited range of exhibition active that has been possible over the past two years.

Now, the tide has turned and everyone – visitors and participating companies alike – are keen to maximise their time at shows. Exhibition display space demand is constantly rising, and visitor numbers are anticipated to be very high especially at events like Crufts. With special Venue Protect measures in place, the NEC is set for a brilliant 2022.

Undoubtedly the greatest and best known dog show in the world, over 20,000 dogs compete to be named Crufts Best in Show this March. Over 200 different breeds of pedigree dogs can be seen and watched in special displays, while more than 550 trade stands offer opportunities to buy every kind of doggy (and accompanying human) product available.

February’s Spring Fair is another very busy time attracting a vast B2B audience of professionals looking for new suppliers, gift ideas and inspiration to attract custom over the coming months. Spring Fair focuses around Gifts and Home & Living, with lots of new launches, new brands plus the Made and Designed in UK trail. This year, there are 14 additional show sectors which include Beauty & Wellbeing, Cook & Dine, Glee@Spring Fair and Christmas.

With so many weddings been postponed over the past year, there is a lot of pent up demand for wedding products. The National Wedding Show is certain to be popular with the opportunity to watch full-scale catwalk shows with all the latest dress designs or discover stunning cake designs in the Bakes Gallery. Naturally, there are also hundreds of dresses and suits available to try on.

April’s Fire Safety Event is sure to be a blaze of interest, drawing the attention of thousands of industry professionals seeking the latest products, technology and solutions. While the end of the month brings food to the forefront of attention with three big B2B shows: Farm Shop & Deli, Food & Drink Expo, National Convenience Show.

UK Games Expo (UKGE) is the perfect place to find out anything you want about tabletop games. Hundreds of exhibitors are set to demonstrate and sell every type of card and board game possible, including role playing and party games. Eager visitors will be taking part in tournaments, workshops, children’s treasure hunts, open gaming, and even hunting through a bring and buy market for second hand games.

Less than two weeks later, the NEC becomes the setting for the return of the ever-popular BBC Gardener’s World Live. With well known TV presenters giving talks and demonstrations, a vast array of show gardens and naturally lots of opportunities to buy plants and accessories; Britain’s gardeners are already avidly buying tickets to the must attend event of the year.

And that’s only a few of the massive line of exhibitions due in 2022!
