As gift retailers wave goodbye to Christmas 2023, it’s Christmas 2024 that will be on their minds as they head to the Harrogate Christmas & Gift show this weekend, which will be opening its doors at the Harrogate Convention Centre from 14-17 January. But it’s not only Christmas that’s being showcased. Visitors will find the latest 2024 launches for Easter and Halloween too, as well as what’s new in giftware.
“There was unprecedented demand for exhibition space, with this year’s show 25% bigger than 2023, with over 100 exhibitors showcasing the latest launches,” confirms show organiser Simon Anslow.
Some 30 new companies are exhibiting, to include Jingles and Tallon International, alongside a myriad of the industry’s favourite names, with festive products spanning everything from Christmas decorations, trees and lights to Christmas cards and crackers. Returning brands include Gisela Graham, Lesser & Pavey, Kaemingk, Norfolk Leisure, Premier Decorations, Festive Productions and Floralsilk.
“We’re looking forward to a bumper turnout,” enthuses Simon, “as we know that visitors will be totally spoilt for choice as they plan their purchases for Christmas 2024.”
