Manchester Gift Show
Manchester Gift Show is located at the EventCity complex in Manchester. It is the perfect venue for a major national gift, home and
fashion accessories event with fantastic access directly off the M60 Manchester ring road and within easy reach of the city centre,
Salford Quays, and Manchester / Liverpool airports.
There are 2,000 dedicated free car parking spaces plus an additional 10,000 on-site plus a wealth of unique facilities for exhibitors and
visitors to enjoy before and after the show.
The Manchester Gift Show offers outstanding value. At £125.00 sq.m it is around half the cost of other UK shows, and contrary to
what the other shows may tell you, this is not an introductory offer, it is our regular price which over the years will only increase in
line with inflation. m
We design our layout so that the majority of stands have a corner location (at no extra cost) giving your products high visibility. There
is FREE parking on site for exhibitors and visitors, FREE WIFI for everyone in the venue, hassle free set-up and break down plus FREE
tea, coffee and biscuits for you during build up days.

Floor Plan
Manchester Gift Show is not edited into defined areas by category. However
with the larger and smaller stands being concentrated in various areas there is
often a natural grouping of similar products.
Visitor feedback is very positive about this policy as it makes the browsing
experience more interesting with several buyers commenting that they had
bought products that may have missed as they would have bypassed certain
areas that they felt were either not for them or were sufficiently covered in
their inventory.
Unlike many other shows we do not charge extra for corner or premium
locations, however they do sell quickly so please request your preferred site as
soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
Stands are only £125.00 sq.m
The cost includes:
Shell Scheme, Fascia / Brand name, Free WiFi,
Carpet, Ceiling Grid, Stand Cleaning
We also circulate your high quality images to all the magazines we advertise
with who produce extensive editorial reviews free of charge... In fact the value
of your free advertising could be worth more than the cost of your stand at the
show!
Manchester Gift Show - The Venue
EventCity Manchester
EventCity is a new exhibition venue which opened in 2011, adjacent to The Trafford
Centre which is located directly at junctions 9 & 10 on the M60 just outside
Manchester. At 29,000 sq.m it is the UK’s second largest exhibition venue outside
London providing enormous potential for growth over the next couple of years.

comfortably attracts over 100,000 visitors on a daily basis. Free shuttle busses run
from Piccadilly and Victoria in Manchester city centre throughout the day so visitors
and exhibitors have the choice to either stay at the three budget hotels on site or stay
in one of Europe’s most vibrant cities to enjoy the legendary cafe, restaurant, bar and
club scene.
