About this event

Scotland's Trade Fair Spring is the country's only dedicated wholesale show for gifts, home, clothing and speciality food and drink. Held every January for almost fifty years, it brings more than 500 wholesale suppliers from Scotland and the rest of the UK together with trade buyers for three days of sourcing and ordering. The show is trade-only and closed to the general public.

Two shows under one roof

The Spring edition runs alongside Scotland's Speciality Food & Drink Show in the same halls on the same three days, so one free trade registration covers gift, home, fashion and food buying in a single trip.
