With contemporary, industry-chic vibes, our onsite first floor eatery, The Loft, provides the perfect back drop to get together and catch-up - so come along and enjoy a complimentary welcome drink, canapés and live music (cash bar also available).

  • What our exhibitors say

    It was so great to be part of a fair that focused on kids’ footwear specifically. Plus, being in the UK, it's a brilliant way for UK businesses to support each other. It was great to connect with existing and new customers as well as other brands, but it was about so much more than wholesale. It was such a great event, we're already looking forward to next time.

    INDX Woman ticks all the boxes. It's definitely an order-writing show. It's unpretentious - we come to showcase and they [buyers] come to write orders so it's great.

    I received lots of orders from both existing and new stockists and I also had conversations about lots of interesting business development ideas. It was great to catch up and network with so many lovely people in the industry. The INDX show is one of my favourite shows to do - friendly, positive and successful.

    We’re focusing on wholesale now, and the men’s INDX show was a big success so we’re here at INDX Woman. In terms of stockists, we’re trying to find mid-level independent department stores. We’ve already spoken to Shaws [an Irish independent department store chain] and some indies, which is great - we’ve written orders.

  • What our exhibitors say

    INDX has always been a good show for us and the best show for menswear. We always take on new customers here and we also see existing customers. Rather than going to Manchester or London, which might be affected by train strikes, they'd rather drive here and see all the brands in one journey. The brand mix is also increasing so we’ve got more up and coming brands which have added some excitement and newness to the show.

    It was wonderful catching up with new and established stockists and seeing buyers face-to-face again. The INDX National Kidswear Show was very busy, and we didn’t stop writing orders. It also seems colour is back, and it’s great to see so many retailers buying organic, sustainable and colourful kidswear.

    The children’s shoe industry has been crying out for a dedicated show. It was great to be in a room with all the best children’s brands, making it easier for buyers to browse and spend time with exhibitors. We found the show to be a success, and we will certainly be coming again. It is great to support the British footwear industry, and we hope that the brands and retailers continue to do so.
