Thousands of visitors are set to descend on a Yorkshire town for a packed calendar of trade and public events.
Harrogate Convention Centre will host seven major exhibitions throughout the second half of 2026, welcoming professionals, enthusiasts, and families from across the country.
Events are expected to generate a significant economic boost for Harrogate and the wider region.
The centre recently hosted the Home & Gift Buyers' Festival in July, with the next event, Harrogate Fashion Week, taking place from August 2 to 4.
Georgia Flynn, Event Director of Harrogate Fashion Week, said: "We're delighted to be returning to Harrogate this summer.
"The February edition was a tremendous success and the momentum we've seen since means we're on course to deliver our largest show yet.
"There's something special about bringing exhibitors and buyers together in person, giving them the opportunity to discover new collections, build relationships and do business face to face."
Other major trade shows on the calendar include Bridal Week Harrogate, The Flooring Show, and Harrogate International Nursery Fair, alongside public events such as the Northern Homebuilding and Renovating Show, Thought Bubble Comic Convention, and Knit + Stitch.
Collectively, these events are expected to attract tens of thousands of exhibitors and visitors and generate an estimated £10.5 million for hospitality businesses in Harrogate and North Yorkshire.
Simon Cotton, managing director of Fat Badger Group, said: "These aren't just visitors passing through for a few hours.
"They're exhibitors staying multiple nights, buyers booking business lunches, badge-wearing delegates filling coffee shops between meetings, and visitors making a weekend of it while enjoying the town's restaurants, bars and attractions."
Jamila Bray, head of venue sales and marketing at Harrogate Convention Centre, added: "We are also grateful to the wonderful local hospitality businesses from hotels to restaurants, bars and independent shops that make Harrogate such a lovely and welcoming destination to visit."
