Seize the mid-year buying advantage at Manchester Furniture Show

Registration is now open for Manchester Furniture Show 2026, returning to Manchester Central on 5-6th July for two days of “serious sourcing and relaxed, high-value networking”.

Manchester Furniture Show (MFS) is an essential mid-year checkpoint for the UK furniture industry – an opportunity to step back, take stock, and refocus buying strategies for the months ahead, says organiser Clarion Events: “At MFS, you’ll discover the latest launches, reconnect with trusted suppliers, meet new partners, and secure the products that will define your Q3-Q4 offering.

This year’s show promises even more opportunities to connect, refresh and restock, all in one place. Visitors will find more than 150 furniture and homeware brands including Lebus, Whitemeadow, Buoyant, La-Z-Boy, Sofa Source, Baker, Ashwood, Image Furnishings, Meta Sofa, Alpha Designs and many more, including established favourites and new exhibitors.

That means in excess of 25,000 products to explore, “from timeless bestsellers to contemporary new designs”, says Clarion, including “exclusive launches and on-site-only offers you won’t find anywhere else”.

The event also promises high-quality networking opportunities, both on the show floor and during the popular show party on Sunday 5th July. And, on Monday 6th July, back by popular demand, the Women in Furniture Network (WIFN) brunch will give attendees a chance to hear from a panel of leading female voices in the industry as they discuss common challenges and how to overcome them. 

“From upholstery and cabinet to bedroom, dining and accessories, every category is covered at MFS, making it a true one-stop destination to refresh your ranges,” says Clarion.

“MFS is a pivotal moment in the calendar where buyers, suppliers and brands come together at the same time – reviewing the year so far, responding to demand, and shaping the season ahead.

“What sets MFS apart is its atmosphere. Professional yet relaxed, it’s an easy, enjoyable show where catching up with the industry feels effortless. With everything under one roof, business gets done efficiently, and decisions for your Q3-Q4 buying are made with confidence.”

As Housing Units’ director puts it: “The Manchester Furniture Show is a no-brainer for us. Buying is a 365-day affair, and we tend to work six months in advance.”

To attend this year’s show and get ahead for H2, register to attend for free today.
