As it enters its fourth year, Source Fashion has announced a strategic move to Excel London, signaling a significant new phase of growth for the UK’s leading responsible sourcing show. Taking place from 7–9 July 2026 at Excel London, the next edition will mark the beginning of a broader expansion strategy focused on increased scale, international reach and long-term stability.
The decision follows continued commercial momentum, with the January 2026 edition delivering 12% growth and three quarters of the July show floor already rebooked. Strong demand from both international pavilions and UK-based manufacturers has reinforced the need for a venue capable of supporting sustained expansion.
Manufacturers representing a wide range of sourcing regions have already confirmed their return for the July edition, including exhibitors from Lithuania, the USA, India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Cyprus, Türkiye, France and Bangladesh, alongside a growing number of UK manufacturers, reflecting the show’s continued international reach and growing domestic participation.
Excel’s transport connectivity and on-site parking were also key factors in the move, improving accessibility for domestic and overseas visitors alike. The venue’s flexible layout provides the infrastructure required to accommodate growing international representation while supporting the show’s increasing domestic presence.
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. 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 the investments we are making in our meetings technology, allowing visitors to meet the manufacturers they want to do business with. As we have grown, we are investing in technology to ensure our visitors can always find the people they want to do business with”
Source Fashion unites audited manufacturers from key sourcing regions worldwide with retailers, brands and sourcing professionals seeking transparent, commercially viable supply chain partnerships.
