INDX Shows | 2027 dates revealed

INDX Shows, the UK’s ultimate portfolio of industry-specific trade shows, is pleased to announce its highly anticipated schedule for 2027. Hosted at Cranmore Park Exhibition Centre in Solihull, the 2027 calendar continues the brand’s mission to provide a business-focused, buyer-centric environment for the independent retail sector.

Owned and curated by Associated Independent Stores (AIS), the UK’s leading buying group for fashion, home, and leisure, the INDX brand has become famous for its unique, ‘by buyers for buyers’ ethos, and the 2027 line-up will once again feature a diverse selection of business-first trade shows.

As we look ahead to 2027, our focus remains on delivering a curated edit of the best brands in a professional, friendly, and productive environment.

By announcing our dates early, we allow our community of independent retailers and exhibitors the clarity they need to plan their peak buying seasons with confidence.

-Jane Bartlett, Director of Events at AIS and Cranmore Park
