January Furniture Show has seen record levels of rebooking for the 2026 event, according to organisers, after an increase in visitor numbers.
Clarion Events says 71% of the show (as laid out this month) has been rebooked after increasing visitor numbers by 4%.
This will ‘pave the way for increasing the show footprint and revised layout for 2026,’ it says. Plans to expand Hall One’s Premium Hall into Hall Two have already been announced. Clarion says the show will be reconfigured and enlarged for 2026.
Next year will see the return of a gala dinner awards event after an absence of two decades with the launch of the Excellence in Furniture Awards.
‘JFS 2025 has been a celebration of the furniture industry’s creativity and innovation. The energy across the halls was palpable, with both exhibitors and attendees seizing the opportunity to source exclusive ranges, shop new trends, and make meaningful connections’’ says Zoë Bonser, Clarion Events portfolio director, retail.
