Innovation, craftsmanship and community at Long Point

This autumn’s edition of Long Point brought together 33 exhibitors across showrooms throughout Long Eaton, welcoming in excess of 100 trade buyers and interior designers from across the UK and further afield, reports the show’s organiser, the Long Eaton Guild of Furniture Manufacturers.

Running from 15-17th September, with many exhibitors also opening by appointment on the 18th, the event once again highlighted Long Eaton’s role as the UK Centre of Quality Upholstery Manufacture.

Over three days, buyers, designers and industry professionals were treated to a showcase of British upholstery, cabinet furniture, accessories and fabrics, plus numerous international brands – all presented within the unique mill showrooms and venues that define Long Point.

“With its mix of heritage and innovation, autumn Long Point 2025 reaffirmed its role as one of the most significant events in the UK furniture calendar,” the organiser says. “Exhibitors launched new collections, buyers discovered fresh ideas, and the Long Eaton community once again proved the value of authentic showrooms and personal connections.

“As the industry looks ahead, Long Point continues to evolve – grounded in tradition, yet focused firmly on the future of design, craftsmanship and collaboration.”

The dates for the 2026 spring and autumn Long Point shows will be announced over the coming months. Find out more about the autumn edition's launches in the full show report here.
