show

Almost 250k visitors are expected at the National Convenience Show this year across three days.

The National Convenience Show opened its doors today in Birmingham’s sprawling NEC, with a host of suppliers, wholesalers, symbol groups, manufacturers and more in attendance across its three days.

The show is - frankly - enormous, with over 1,200 exhibitors across four separate themed events taking place within.

While it can be overwhelming at first, once you’ve got your bearings, there are so many different stalls and stands to visit, with many offering show only deals, it soon becomes easy to navigate.

Below are some of the more impressive stalls we have seen so far…
