With just one month to go, the excitement is building for the return of the Manchester Furniture Show (MFS). The show opens on Sunday, July 6, and Monday, July 7, and bridges the gap between the major January shows and the Q4 buying cycle, making it a must-attend destination for retailers, designers, and buyers.

 

Held in the heart of Manchester, just minutes from key transport links, this two-day showcase features over 25,000 products across furniture, homewares, accessories, and interiors. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to see, touch, and test the latest products, designs, and finishes firsthand. As a direct result of feedback from exhibitors and visitors, the 2025 edition introduces a Sunday–Monday format, making the show more accessible and better aligned with the busy retail week.

 

With over 120 brands on the show floor, attendees can expect fresh energy, welcoming an exciting wave of 45% first-time exhibitors ready to make their mark, including Scatterbox, Seconique, Furnish 365, Meta Sofa, Allports, and Maiullari, to name a few. Alongside exciting debuts is a strong line-up of established names and familiar favourites, showcasing trusted collections and new-season updates. The likes of Alpha Designs, At The Helm, Baker, Blue Bone, Bouyant, La-Z-Boy, Lebus, Mayfair, Premier Housewares, Sofa Source, Taylors Creative Living, and Welcome Furniture return—plus many more.

 

MFS will once again host the Women in Furniture Networking Brunch & Panel. This inspiring session creates space for connection, candid conversation, and leadership insights across the sector. Zoe Bonser, Portfolio Director at Clarion Retail, will lead the panel taking place on Monday, July 7. Joining her are a dynamic trio of industry leaders: Kellie Wyles, Head of Upholstery and Brands at DFS; Nic Furlong, Managing Director at Cox & Cox; and Fara Butt, Director at Shire Beds. Together, they will explore key topics, including leadership, industry challenges, and what’s next for the UK’s evolving furniture and interior landscape.

 

Beyond business, MFS creates the perfect space to unwind and soak up the atmosphere. On Sunday evening, the team welcomes all attendees to a free-to-attend, Wimbledon-themed show party—complete with strawberries and cream, summer spritz cocktails, Pimm’s, live tennis screenings, and a table tennis tournament, with a prize for the winner. Quintessentially British and brimming with energy, it’s the perfect chance to connect informally with industry peers and enjoy a slice of summer in the city.

 

“MFS is back to meet the needs of the furniture industry. The show combines strategic timing, a central city location, and a curated exhibitor lineup to deliver meaningful value,” said Zoe Bonser, Portfolio Director, Retail Division at Clarion Events. “From sourcing and networking to fresh insight and summer celebration, we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to Manchester this July.”

 

Whether you're scouting next season’s collections, reconnecting with suppliers, or looking for new inspiration, MFS brings the industry together under one roof. A curated showcase, relaxed sourcing environment, and an iconic location make it a must-visit this summer.
