As it enters its fourth year, Source Fashion is relocating to ExCeL London, marking a new phase of growth for the trade show. The next edition, taking place from July 7 to July 9, signals a broader expansion strategy focused on increased scale, international reach, and long-term stability.
The move follows continued commercial momentum, with the January 2026 edition delivering 12% growth, and 75% of the July show floor already rebooked. Show organiser Hyve Group said that strong demand from both international pavilions and UK manufacturers has highlighted the need for a venue capable of supporting sustained expansion. ExCeL’s strong transport links and on-site parking were key factors, along with its flexible layout.
Manufacturers from across the globe – including Lithuania, the USA, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Cyprus, Türkiye, France, and Bangladesh – have confirmed their participation, alongside a growing number of UK manufacturers.
Caroline Gourlay, head of B2B exhibition sales at ExCeL London, said: “The Hyve team have done a fantastic job developing Source Fashion into one of the biggest B2B fashion trade shows in Europe, and we’re looking forward to supporting them on their journey.”
Suzanne Ellingham, event director of Source Fashion, added: “Relocating to ExCeL London reflects the trajectory we’re on. We’ve experienced consistent commercial growth, and the move gives us the flexibility and scale to support that. It allows us to expand internationally, grow our domestic exhibitor base, and evolve the show in line with the needs of the industry. This goes hand in hand with investments we’re making in technology, allowing visitors to meet the manufacturers they want to do business with.”
Source Fashion brings together audited manufacturers with retailers, brands, and sourcing professionals seeking transparent, commercially viable supply chain partnerships. From apparel and textiles to trims, components, and full-service manufacturing solutions, the show provides a comprehensive view of global production capability under one roof.
The July 2026 edition will also feature an enhanced debate programme, reinforcing its role as a platform for industry discussion. A new initiative designed to further support UK manufacturing and responsible sourcing practices will be announced later this month.
Registration for Source Fashion July 2026 at ExCeL London will open shortly.
