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. Its vast size will allow the show to grow to approximately the size of six halls at the NEC or 42% larger than

the HIC in Harrogate.

EventCity also benefits from fantastic access by road without entering Manchester City Centre or quick access from the City by

express shuttle buses from Piccadilly and Victoria stations. 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 will always offer 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.

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.

We also include your FREE entry in our buyers guide and in our email promotions, website and magazine editorial features (subject to

editor’s approval). In fact there are no hidden charges and lots of additional benefits so why not give us a call today and reserve your

priority location in the UK’s new gift and home accessories event.

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 from our launch event in October 2011 was very positive

about this policy as it made 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

Plus.....

Free inclusion in the buyers guide,

Free personalised advertising on our website, Facebook and Twitter Pages

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.

Transport links by road, rail and air are outstanding as The Trafford Centre

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.

45 minute drive and 25% within an hour. London and Glasgow are just over 2 hours away by train so

the potential catchment for the show is outstanding.

The nightlife and culture are renowned offering visitors the chance to make an enjoyable break out

of their buying trip, something not offered by many other trade show destinations.

Manchester is also served by most budget airlines either at Manchester International Airport or

Liverpool John Lennon Airport, both have regular transport services to Manchester city centre. This

will also make the show attractive to visitors from Ireland, Europe and beyond.

is located near the Orient complex in the Trafford Centre with over 60 restaurants, bars and

bistros. The other three are on the perimeter of the site, all are very close to the show.

you can enjoy two theatres, a designer outlet village, lots of restaurants, bars, The Imperial War

Museum North, Boat trips, Manchester United Football stadium / shop and it also has the benefit of
