Visitor registration is now open for the January Furniture Show (JFS), the UK’s largest furniture and interiors trade event, which returns to NEC Birmingham from 18th-21st January 2026, and is inviting the full furniture community involved in design, retail and manufacturing to help shape the future of global furniture and design …
Celebrating 36 years as the industry’s trusted stage, JFS 2026 promises to build on its legacy with a +15% expanded footprint and bigger ambitions.
Over 500 brands – 40% of them international – are set to showcase more than 50,000 products, including thousands of exclusive new launches, across four halls: Premium Design; Home, Lifestyle & Garden; Living, Dining & Cabinet; and Upholstery & Beds.
With numerous brands set to showcase at JFS for the first time, visitors will be able to explore international enterprises such as Meta Sofa, Cardoso Leal, Fabryka, Mebli TOM-POL, Lech Fabrics, Davis Fabrics and AIT Home Delivery, alongside returning exhibitors and newcomers Urban Social, Furnt, Hug Rug, Aspire Furniture, Stressless and Homingly.
"These new additions, alongside established favourites, underscore the show’s powerful mix of fresh talent and trusted industry leaders," states show organiser Clarion Events.
Returning to the show are the likes of Whitemeadow, Baker Furniture, Alstons, Alpha Designs, Tetrad, Buoyant Upholstery, Sherborne, Welcome Furniture, Westbridge, Ashwood Designs, La-Z-Boy, Global Home, Highgrove Beds, Seconique, Bluebone Furniture, Taylors Creative Living, Siren Furniture, Duresta, The Lounge Co, and internationally renowned brands Rauch, Premier Furniture, ROM, Mindy Brownes, Airlia Home and Pure Designs.
A new show highlight is the inaugural Excellence in Furniture Awards, which will bring an element of celebration to JFS. This new event, taking place on the evening of Monday 19th January, will recognise outstanding design and commercial success, adding a new dimension to JFS and celebrating the industry’s leading innovators and influencers.
The upcoming edition will also bring a refreshed hall layout and larger overall show footprint, with significant expansions to both Hall 2 and Hall 5. In response to industry feedback, the organiser has relocated Hall 4 into Hall 3, creating "a smoother transition between spaces", says Clarion: "This change marks the first step towards restoring the traditional five-hall horseshoe shape and further enhances the visitor journey.
"The expansion of Hall 2 also supports the growth of the Premium Design sector, while the enlarged Hall 5 offers additional opportunities for exhibitors and a more dynamic experience for attendees."
Over four days, visitors can explore extensive new product launches, attend interactive sessions, and join networking events including the Show Party, The Botanical Garden Bar, the Women in Furniture Network (WIFN) event, and the Excellence in Furniture Awards. The VIP Buyer Programme also returns, offering exclusive access to key decision-makers, alongside bespoke business opportunities.
JFS offers a uniquely British and global perspective, connecting leading icons, global brands and emerging talent under one roof, all in one of the UK’s most accessible venues. According to Clarion, 92% of visitors say attendance is essential for their business, with decision-makers set to discover the year’s most distinctive styles and commercial innovations.
"JFS is where the industry’s best set the trends and define the styles customers will crave for the year ahead," the show organiser concludes. "Experience a vibrant mix of industry leaders and innovators, alongside many exclusive launches never seen elsewhere. Join us as we shape the future of the UK and global furniture sector."
