BHETA Delivers Another Successful Exclusively Show in 2026!

Exclusively Show (organised by BHETA) returned to Business Design Centre, London, on 9–10 June, reinforcing its position as the UK’s leading trade event for housewares, tabletop, small domestic appliances and giftware.

Bringing together more than 130 exhibitors representing over 250 brands, the two-day event delivered an extensive showcase of product innovation, trend forecasting and commercial opportunities for retailers preparing their ranges for 2027 and beyond.

The continued strength of the show was reflected in exhibitor demand, with stand space selling out months ahead of the event. Strong buyer attendance from across multiple retail channels further underlined Exclusively’s role as a key date in the industry calendar.

This year’s edition welcomed buyers and decision-makers from some of the UK’s most recognisable retail brands, including Harrods, Marks & Spencer, Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury’s, Lidl, Ocado, Currys, Boots, B&Q, Costco, Wayfair, Robert Dyas, Next, Amazon, Lakeland, TK Maxx, Argos and John Lewis, alongside more representatives from independent retailers, department stores, garden centres, online marketplaces and HORECA sector.

The exhibition floor also welcomed a series of well-known culinary and lifestyle personalities who joined exhibitors on their stands throughout the event. Tommy Banks appeared with Victorinox, John Torode and Matt Tebbutt joined Prestige by Meyer Group, Jeremy Pang visited Dexam, and Lynsey Queen of Clean spent time with Swan. Their presence reflected the calibre of products showcased at Exclusively, highlighting the strong relationship between trusted brands and the professionals who use and recommend them.

A standout feature of the 2026 show was the newly reimagined Trend Showcase. Designed as a multi-sensory experience, the space combined colour, texture and fragrance with carefully curated product displays to bring emerging consumer trends to life. The refreshed concept received enthusiastic feedback from visitors and exhibitors alike, offering practical inspiration for ranges expected to shape retail shelves in 2027 and beyond. Plus, visitors of the area left with a new takeaway resource – a curated, downloadable Buying Guide.

Exclusively Show 2026 also introduced its first London Store Tour, created specifically for international visitors. The new initiative offered curated retail visits across the city, providing valuable insight into UK merchandising, consumer behaviour and in-store experiences. The launch of the tour comes as international visitor numbers continue to rise for another consecutive year, reflecting the show’s growing global appeal.

Reflecting on this year’s show, Exhibition Director Will Jones said:

“Initial feedback from exhibitors and visitors is that Exclusively delivered to its usual high standard with a strong turnout of quality visitors keen to engage and trade. Particularly pleasing has been the reaction to the new and improved visitor initiatives with all surpassing last year’s engagement levels. The new London Store Tour was very well received and will be enhanced further next year. The industry continues to face many challenges but during the course of the show it was a pleasure to see so many engaged and dare I say it smiling faces“.
