Hyve, the organiser of Autumn Fair, the season’s most important marketplace for the home and gift retail industry, and the co-located Jewellery & Watch and Fashion (JWF), has announced changes to the scheduled events in 2020. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Hyve has made the decision that Autumn Fair and JWF 2020 will not take place this year.

The Spring Fair will be held from February 7-11, 2021, and the Autumn Fair will return to the NEC on September 5-8, 2021. Hyve and the team behind Autumn Fair and JWF are now working closely with their partners and clients to deliver a virtual forum this September with exclusive seminar content and practical advice designed to educate and inform participants. More information on the virtual forum will be available on the website in due course, according to a press release by Hyve.

Autumn Fair and JWF continue to provide exclusive webinars, industry news and product updates that keeps the home and gift retail community informed, connected and inspired on The Community hub.

Diverse, relevant and exciting, Autumn Fair is the marketplace of the season for the home and gift retail industry. Perfectly timed at the beginning of September, the event is a crucial shopping destination for buyers to prepare for the Golden Quarter, retail’s busiest and most profitable time of year in the lead up to Christmas and New Year. Co-located with Design & Source and Jewellery & Watch and Fashion (JWF), Autumn Fair is an all-encompassing show for retailers, designers, contractors, architects and interior decorators to come and find their next best-seller and insights into the newest product trends. Autumn Fair is a brand of Hyve.

“We have been listening to both our exhibitors and visitors, and the feedback from the market has been incredibly supportive of Autumn Fair. We’re excited to have the opportunity to take a fresh approach and launch a virtual forum this September. We are also looking forward to when the industry can meet again in person and will focus all efforts and resources on helping the industry bounce back in 2021, both at Spring Fair in February 2021, and Autumn Fair in September 2021,” Jessica Dawnay, event director, Spring and Autumn Fair said.
