Record number of exhibitors at Harrogate Christmas & Gift


Visitors to Harrogate Christmas & Gift, which starts tomorrow (Sunday), are guaranteed to find exciting product ranges at the show, as there are over 30 new exhibitors attending as well as the industry’s top brands.

Show organiser Simon Anslow comments: “Christmas & Gift goes from strength to strength. As the word spreads about its success we have more new companies jumping on board. Visitor numbers have increased dramatically over the last four years and it is now a leading event for retailers and buyers seeking not only festive products, but home and garden gift ranges for the entire year.”

For anyone in the Christmas business, this show has always been an important date for the diary, but in the last few years the show has grown beyond expectations.

Significantly, whilst the festive season remains the focus of the entire event, the diversity of ranges displayed encompass occasions for the whole year round. Amongst the Christmas trees, tinsel and baubles, visitors will be presented with thousands of products for the home and garden from gifts and ornaments, furniture and pictures, right through to floral displays, garden furniture, lights and barbeques.

Hall A includes new exhibitors Global Journey – bringing an exciting range of music and jewellery; and Lemax Europe – a worldwide leader in collectable village miniatures. Another new exhibitor in Hall B is Koopman of Holland with a huge and diverse catalogue of products for all occasions.

Premier Decorations will be taking Hall H in its entirety, launching new ranges from its Christmas, Outdoor Living and Halloween collections. Also, with lots of new products on offer, Heaven Sends and RJB Stone have both significantly increased their stand sizes.

Simon Anslow adds: “Harrogate Christmas & Gift is now considered the number one trade show for garden centre and visitor attraction buyers as well as department stores and independent gift retailers. With so many new exhibitors joining the show, we can expect another bumper event in 2016.”
