Autumn Fair 2020 cancelled

Autumn Fair 2020 has been cancelled.

Spring Fair will continue to take place on February 7th to 11th February 2021 and Autumn Fair will return to the NEC on September 5th to 8th September 2021.

Show organiser Hyve and the team behind Autumn Fair are now working closely with their partners and clients to deliver a virtual forum this September.

“We have been listening to both our exhibitors and visitors, and the feedback from the market has been incredibly supportive of Autumn Fair,” said Jessica Dawnay, Event Director, Spring & Autumn Fair.

“We’re excited to have the opportunity to take a fresh approach and launch a virtual forum this September. We are also looking forward to when the industry can meet again in person and will focus all efforts and resources on helping the industry bounce back in 2021, both at Spring Fair in February 2021, and Autumn Fair in September 2021.”
