The Manchester Furniture Show (MFS) is back in just a few weeks, returning to Manchester Central from 10-11 July. After a short hiatus, this beloved show will regain its status as the industry's key summer event, as MFS brings together top brands and high-caliber buyers.

Over 2 days in an iconic venue, retailers from across the UK and beyond will have the chance to source from over 100 brands and reconnect with industry peers, refine their strategies, and secure crucial sales ahead of the new season.

MFS is a retailer’s one-stop shop for summer sourcing. As a proven order-writing event, it connects buyers directly with a wealth of established and emerging suppliers. Offering visitors the chance to forge valuable partnerships, source high-quality inventory, and discover the latest innovations across all furniture categories, with a particular focus on the in-demand upholstery and living furniture sectors.

This year’s show floor will feature carefully curated trends and over 25,000 in-demand products just waiting to be snapped up. Notable brands returning to MFS include Alpha Designs, Ashwood Designs, At The Helm, Baker Furniture, Buoyant Upholstery Ltd, Decortie, Dutch Imports, Incanto, La-Z-Boy, Lebus Upholstery, Kettle Home, RS Furniture, Premier Housewares, and Whitemeadow, among others.

Living room furniture and upholstery mega brands will take center stage. Buoyant Upholstery will present their new collection of British-made, high-quality, and timeless designs. La-Z-Boy, the world’s favorite recliner company, will launch their latest collection, while Baker Furniture showcases contemporary and traditional bedroom, dining, and occasional furniture. Premier Housewares, a key supplier of design-led, high-quality products since 1988, will be on hand for retailers and designers seeking perfect homewares. Ashwood Designs will showcase beautifully crafted sofas that blend technology with traditional workmanship and sumptuous fabrics.

In addition to unparalleled product sourcing, MFS offers two days of unprecedented summer networking opportunities. Not only can brands and visitors meet to discuss sales opportunities but they can mingle at the Summer Solstice Show Party and the Women in Furniture Network Brunch. Celebrate the return of this legacy show on Wednesday night with drinks, music and food at the Show Party, then hear from La-Z-Boy Incorporated’s President and CEO, Melinda Whittington, at the WIFN Brunch on Thursday.

Join the furniture community at the must-attend sourcing event of the summer, as the industry looks ahead to another prosperous season. Source, network, and be inspired in Manchester this July.
