“We expect Spring Fair to be back in full swing”

The party industry is poised and ready to head to the NEC, Birmingham, from 5 to 8 February, 2023, for Spring Fair. Progressive Party caught up with some of the key party exhibitors to find out what they have in store for the multi-category show.

With Covid restrictions well and truly a thing of the past, suppliers are keen to return to face-to-face shows this year, and many are expecting good things from Spring Fair. Lisa Norris, commercial director, UK at Amscan, explains: “We certainly expect Spring Fair to be back in full swing with plenty of visitors being in attendance, including international visitors who may have been put off attending due to Covid in recent years.

“Amscan are super excited to be back at Spring Fair 2023 after the long break due to the pandemic which prevented us from attending. We’re all really looking forward to seeing familiar faces as well as lots of new ones.”

Gloria Veta, global brand director at Gemar, adds: “We look forward to creating new relationships within the party industry and to present our latest cutting-edge digital resource Gemar Creator, as well as our newest products and trends for the year. Each expo is unique and worthwhile, it’s the place where new ideas are waiting to be discovered and where relationships are forged.”
