Harrogate Home & Gift will be returning to the Harrogate Convention Centre and grounds of the DoubleTree by Hilton Majestic Hotel from 21-24 July, showcasing over 500 top brands and thousands of new launches across a new expanded footprint, making it the show’s biggest exhibitor line-up for many years.
This year, the show will see 15% more exhibitors than in 2023. Across three Design Points and four halls, 35% of the show will boast brand new exhibitors making their show debut, with over 40% of this year’s exhibitors not at the show in 2023.
Halls A, B, C and M will be back at the Harrogate Convention Centre, which will be filled with sectors that include Gift and Home, Jewellery and Fashion, and Food Emporium. Buyers will also benefit from an updated layout in the hotel grounds for the Design Points, where they will be able to browse the Design-led Gift and Home sectors.
A new entrance at the Rose Gate will lead visitors to the relocated Design Point 4 and Alfresco Bistro, taking them to Design Point 3, and an extended Design Point 1, which is set to host an additional 10% more stands than in 2024. This year buyers will find one long hall, giving visitors an uninterrupted stream of Design-led Gift and Home brands. Following the extension to Design Point 1, visitors will also be to use the new entrance, along with the usual Harrogate Convention Centre entrance, with the new entrance located in the heart of the show by the Alfresco Bistro.

We’ve got more from our Gift Of The Year award-winning OCEAN collection to launch and showcase for buyers visiting our stand. We will also be launching a Luxury collection in the build up to Christmas,” confirms Evan.
