Clarion Retail, organiser of The Furniture Shows series of trade exhibitions, has announced the return of the Manchester Furniture Show to Manchester Central from 10-11th July, 2024.
With the show having last taken place in 2019, the relaunch promises to bring together a wide range of furniture manufacturers, brands, industry professionals and furniture enthusiasts for "an exceptional showcase of design, innovation, and networking opportunities", says Clarion.
"The Manchester Furniture Show has always been a platform for the northern furniture industry to connect and showcase the very best in furniture," says Zoë Bonser, portfolio director of The Furniture Shows. "We listened to the industry, and are incredibly excited to bring back the North’s favourite summer sourcing event, providing an unrivalled experience for exhibitors and buyers."

Their presence, alongside an anticipated 100+ other furniture and interior brands, will be visited by an expected 2000+ industry buyers, designers and interior specialists, says Clarion.
Confirmed exhibitor Taylors of Scotland states: "We are delighted that the Manchester show is returning and pleased to be exhibiting once again. The show is renowned for its relaxed, friendly atmosphere, and we look forward to catching up with all our valued customers. Looking forward to seeing you all there."
Exhibitors will benefit from enhanced support, including streamlined logistics and dedicated assistance from the experienced show team. With new sustainable stand options available, exhibitors will be able to save both money and time while making a positive impact on the environment, says Clarion, adding that extensive marketing and promotional campaigns will also be implemented.
In addition to the new products on display, Manchester Furniture Show promises to offer a relaxed summer sourcing experience, and an enhanced VIP programme to ensure a memorable experience for key buyers. "Attendees can reconnect with the industry, forge new relationships, and expand their network in the vibrant community fostered by the show," states Clarion.
