WELCOME TO YOUR SPRING FAIR
A very warm welcome to Spring Fair International, which for 2012 has been transformed with a carefully edited layout, clear product zoning, a vibrant new look and a host of exciting features.
Spring Fair is once again the UK’s premier retail trade event, with 3,000 suppliers launching around 300,000 new products here this week, many of them brand new suppliers exhibiting for the first time, or overseas companies you won’t be able to find at any other UK show this year. 1,000 exhibitors are showcasing their products exclusively at Spring Fair this season.
The show this year offers the biggest and best selection of Contemporary Home & Gift products you can find anywhere in the UK, plus world-class brands such as Swarovski, BBC Worldwide, Warner Brothers, Hallmark and Carte Blanche Greetings.
Several parts of Spring Fair have been rebranded for 2012, while The Party Show in Hall 3 marks the launch of a ‘show within a show’ for this vibrant industry sector.
For your comfort as well as your convenience there is plenty of extra seating within each hall along the wide new boulevard-style aisles, extra free water points and 75 different places to eat throughout the exhibition. Extra cloak rooms have been allocated in the Toute Suite and Hall 2 suite of offices.
Make sure you take some time to check out the hall plans to fully orientate yourself before heading off around the show and ask for help if you feel a bit disoriented.
From bus buddies to help you find your way around the car parks, to more information point staff, there will be someone on hand to provide help with navigating the show wherever it’s required. If you need help, just ask!
