What does the Home & Gift section at Scotland's Trade Fairs cover?

The Home & Gift section brings together twelve wholesale product categories spanning the full range of Scottish and Celtic goods available at the show.

Whether you are sourcing celtic home accessories, seasonal gift lines or everyday scottish products for your retail shelves, each category connects you directly with trusted wholesale suppliers. Browse individual category pages to explore exhibitors, featured products and ranges in detail.

What types of Scottish and Celtic products are available wholesale?

The range spans scottish goods and celtic products across home, fashion, gifting and lifestyle: heritage knitwear, Celtic jewellery, handcrafted candles, art prints, ceramics, books, games, watches, drinkware and seasonal collections.

Exhibitors include independent Scottish makers, established UK wholesale brands and specialist producers creating celtic home and lifestyle product for gift, tourist and independent retail markets. You can explore exhibitor profiles and featured products within each category before you attend.

Is Scotland's Trade Fairs open to the public?

Scotland's Trade Fairs is a trade-only event, open to registered business buyers including retail shop owners, gift buyers, online sellers, market traders, tourist attraction buyers and anyone sourcing wholesale scottish products and celtic goods for commercial resale.

It is not open to the general public. Register Now to apply for your buyer pass for the January 2027 show at Glasgow SEC.

Do I need to book appointments with suppliers before attending?

No. The show uses an open floor format, meaning you can visit any exhibitor at any point during the three days without booking in advance.

This is one of the practical advantages of the show over appointment-only sourcing events: you can follow up on what interests you, spend more time where it matters and move through the categories at your own pace.

Can I source across multiple Home & Gift categories in a single visit?

Yes, and for many buyers this is the main reason to attend.

The Home & Gift categories share the Glasgow SEC floor with the Speciality Food & Drink Show, which means buyers can consolidate a significant portion of their annual sourcing across celtic home product, clothing, gifts, candles, jewellery, ceramics and seasonal lines in one three-day trip. Many buyers leave with orders placed across several categories.

How do wholesale pricing and minimum orders work at the show?

Each exhibitor sets their own minimum order requirements and pricing tiers, and these vary by product type and supplier.

The best way to understand the terms is to speak directly with each exhibitor at their stand. Meeting face to face makes it considerably easier to negotiate first-order arrangements, review samples and agree terms that suit your business than working through a trade platform or email exchange.

How do I apply to exhibit my Scottish goods or Celtic home products?

Any wholesale supplier of scottish goods, celtic products, home and gift ranges or related lifestyle product can apply for a stand by contacting Springboard Events at jak@springboardevents.com.

The show attracts thousands of active trade buyers from across Scotland and the wider UK, making it one of the most commercially direct routes to the independent retail sector. Stand options are available across all twelve Home & Gift categories.

Who attends as a buyer in the Home & Gift section?

Buyers include independent retail shop owners, gift shop buyers, tourist attraction and heritage venue retail managers, online sellers, market traders, fashion boutiques and department store buyers. Many are specifically looking for celtic home ranges, scottish gifts and seasonal product.

The majority attend from Scotland and the north of England, with a growing number travelling from further afield specifically for the Scottish goods and Celtic products on offer.

What is the difference between Scotland's Trade Fairs and the Speciality Food & Drink Show?

Both shows run simultaneously at Glasgow SEC on 24-26 January 2027, organised by Springboard Events on behalf of Clarion Events.

Scotland's Trade Fairs covers the Home, Gift and Clothing categories, the full range of celtic goods, scottish home product and lifestyle ranges covered in this section.

The Speciality Food & Drink Show covers artisan, specialty and independent food and drink producers. A single visitor registration gives access to both, so buyers can source across all categories in one trip.

Are new independent makers and designers welcome to exhibit?

Yes. Scotland's Trade Fairs actively welcomes independent Scottish makers, emerging celtic home and lifestyle brands and new wholesale producers alongside its established exhibitors.

The show has a long track record of supporting independent businesses meeting retail buyers for the first time. If you are a smaller producer or a first-time exhibitor, contact jak@springboardevents.com to discuss what is available for January 2027.

Are there sponsorship or partnership opportunities at Scotland’s Trade Fairs?

Yes. Scotland’s Trade Fairs offers commercial partnership and sponsorship opportunities for brands wanting to reach trade buyers, gift retailers and the broader Scottish wholesale community.

Options vary and can include show floor presence, digital visibility and category or feature association.
