Why exhibit?

Meet hundreds of retail buyers from coast, country and city.
We are unique! Giving & Living is the only trade show in the UK with a specialism in coast. As well as catering for the country and rural city retailers, since 1965, retailers not only from the South West, but from right around the UK’s coastline, have depended on us to showcase new trends, brands and products at their peak buying time, and they come to buy!

For a first-time exhibitor, attending Giving & Living 2025 was incredibly valuable to my business. I’ve met many wonderful people from a variety of companies and organisations, helping my products reach new locations! We’ve come away with many new orders, but also a lot of knowledge and advice shared by other stallholders to help us on our journey. I would absolutely recommend attending if you’re running a small business and looking to take the next step forward.”
