Source Fashion will relocate to Excel London for its July 2026 edition, marking a change in venue as the event enters its fourth year.
Organised by Hyve Group, Source Fashion brings together manufacturers and sourcing professionals across apparel, textiles and related supply chains. The event includes exhibitors offering components, trims and full-service manufacturing.
The show will take place from 7–9 July 2026 and forms part of a wider expansion plan focused on increasing capacity and international participation.
The move follows reported growth at the January 2026 edition, with organisers stating that 12% growth was recorded and a majority of the July show floor has already been rebooked. Organisers said demand from international pavilions and UK manufacturers contributed to the decision to move venues.
Exhibitors confirmed for the July edition include manufacturers from Lithuania, the United States, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Cyprus, Türkiye, France and Bangladesh, alongside UK-based companies.
Organisers said transport links and on-site parking at Excel London were factors in the relocation, along with the venue’s capacity to accommodate a larger number of exhibitors.
The July 2026 edition will also include a programme of talks and discussions. A further initiative focused on UK manufacturing and sourcing is expected to be announced.
Caroline Gourlay, head of B2B exhibition sales at Excel London, said, “We’re delighted to be welcoming Source Fashion to Excel this summer and to be supporting their wider growth ambitions. The show is one of more than 20 major events who have chosen to relocate or launch at the venue this year alone, drawn by our world-class facilities, dedicated team and connectivity through the high-speed Elizabeth line.”
Suzanne Ellingham, event director of Source Fashion, said, “As we move into our fourth year, relocating to Excel London reflects the trajectory we’re on. We have experienced consistent commercial growth, and the move gives us the flexibility and scale to support that momentum.”
