Stand: Hall 4, Stands E18–F19 & E25
Candlelight is gearing up to make a bold statement at Spring Fair, with a double-sized stand, seasonal launches and award anticipation
Candlelight is set to make an impactful return to Spring Fair, unveiling a significantly expanded presence with a stand double the size of previous years. Located in Hall 4 across stands E18–F19 and E25, the enlarged space reflects the brand’s continued growth, confidence, and commitment to delivering trend-led, commercially strong collections to the gift and homeware markets.
The Spring Fair showcase will feature the launch of Candlelight’s A/W26 collection, following its successful preview at the brand’s exclusive London pop-up showroom. The Autumn/Winter range builds on Candlelight’s reputation for combining timeless design with emerging trends, offering retailers carefully curated collections that balance style, quality, and accessible pricing.
Alongside A/W26, visitors will also be able to view the brand’s S/S26 range, which will be fully in stock and ready to ship. Designed with immediacy and flexibility in mind, the Spring/Summer collection allows buyers to place orders with confidence, knowing products are available for prompt delivery – an increasingly important factor in today’s fast-moving retail landscape.
One of the key highlights of Candlelight’s Spring Fair stand will be the continuation of its much-loved Highland Cow range, which proved a standout success at Scotland’s Trade Fair Spring in January, where it quite literally stole the show. Inspired by the enduring appeal of Scotland’s iconic Highland cattle, the range received an overwhelmingly positive response from buyers, with strong interest across gift, home décor, and seasonal categories.
Building on that momentum, Candlelight has expanded the Highland Cow collection for Spring Fair, introducing new designs and formats that further enhance its charm and commercial appeal. The range perfectly encapsulates the brand’s ability to translate character-led design into high-performing retail products.
“Spring Fair is always a key moment in the calendar for us, and this year feels particularly exciting. Doubling the size of our stand allows us to properly showcase the breadth of what we do”
Speaking ahead of the show, Candlelight Head of Sales Kate Winch commented: “Spring Fair is always a key moment in the calendar for us, and this year feels particularly exciting. Doubling the size of our stand allows us to properly showcase the breadth of what we do – from our new A/W26 collections to S/S26 ranges that are ready to ship immediately. The reaction to the Highland Cow range at Scotland’s Trade Fair Spring was phenomenal, and we’re thrilled to be building on that success at Spring Fair.”
In addition to new product launches, there is a strong sense of anticipation surrounding Candlelight’s participation in The Giftware Association’s Gift of the Year Awards, with the team eagerly awaiting the results of the first round during the show.
Widely regarded as a benchmark of innovation and excellence within the gift industry, the awards recognise products that demonstrate standout design, creativity, and commercial viability. For Candlelight, being shortlisted reflects the strength of its in-house design capability and its close understanding of both consumer trends and retailer needs.
Tommy Bartles, Head of Brand at Candlelight, highlighted the importance of storytelling and brand identity across the collections on display: “Our focus is always on creating ranges that feel distinctive, relevant, and emotionally engaging, while still working hard for retailers.
“The Highland Cow collection is a great example of that – it has real personality and instantly connects with customers. Across A/W26 and S/S26, we’ve put a lot of thought into how our products sit together as cohesive collections, making them easy for buyers to merchandise and sell through.”
With its expanded stand, multiple seasonal launches, a proven best-selling range, and award recognition on the horizon, Candlelight’s presence at Spring Fair promises to be a must-visit destination for buyers looking for dependable bestsellers alongside fresh, trend-driven design.
Visitors are encouraged to explore Candlelight’s full offering in Hall 4 across stands E18–F19 and E25, and discover why the brand continues to be a trusted partner for retailers across the gift and home décor sectors.
The year ahead
The year ahead marks an exciting and ambitious chapter for Candlelight, with a strong focus on brand visibility, product innovation, and continued growth across key retail channels.
Central to this strategy is a significant increase in advertising activity, spanning national television campaigns alongside an enhanced presence in leading trade press, ensuring Candlelight remains front of mind for both consumers and retail partners.
Candlelight is maintaining a prominent presence across the UK’s most important trade events, including Harrogate Christmas & Gift, Home & Gift, Scotland’s Trade Fair Spring, and Spring Fair, reinforcing its commitment to supporting independent and national retailers alike. The calendar continues into Autumn Fair, providing further opportunities to showcase new collections and connect with buyers at every stage of the retail cycle.
Product development remains at the heart of Candlelight’s plans, with two major seasonal launches scheduled at the brand’s London showroom. The S/S27 launch will present fresh, trend-led collections designed for immediate commercial impact, followed by the A/W27 launch, offering buyers an early preview of the next generation of Autumn and Winter ranges.
Alongside exhibitions and launches, Candlelight will also explore new concession opportunities, expanding its presence within physical retail environments, while strengthening partnerships with both existing and prospective stockists.
With a packed exhibition schedule, increased marketing investment, and a clear focus on innovation and collaboration, the year ahead positions Candlelight for continued momentum and long-term success within the fragrance, gift, and home décor markets.
