This booming sector is more popular than ever and will offer products and services for grocery, foodservice, speciality and convenience outlets

This area is supported by Vegan Friendly UK and The Vegan Society and will be highlighted to our audience of key retail and hospitality buyers through extra pre- and post-show marketing, along with supporting content on The Live stage.
WHERE THE CONVENIENCE RETAIL SECTOR MEETS
National Convenience Show is the biggest event for the convenience-retailing sector, providing a single platform for the whole market to come together - suppliers, wholesalers and retailers.
WHERE THE SPECIALIST RETAIL SECTOR MEETS
Farm Shop & Deli Show brings together hundreds of speciality suppliers to celebrate the best of British regional produce. An unrivalled opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their products to buyers and key decision-makers across the industry.
The Farm Shop & Deli Retailer Awards is a highly respected prize within the industry and plays an important role in supporting and celebrating the UK’s independent specialist retail market. Retailers from up and down the country will have been assessed by a panel of esteemed judges to find winners from each region, and the live announcement is a must-see event at the UK Food & Drink Shows.
The Farm Shop & Deli Product Awards is an event which you can’t afford to miss, with its winners’ announcement taking place during the UK Food & Drink Shows. The Product Awards will showcase exciting product entries and the brands behind them, which would have gone through an extensive judging process before worthy products are awarded a bronze, silver or gold accolade.
WHERE THE FUEL AND FORECOURT SECTOR MEETS
The Forecourt Show is the UK’s biggest trade-only event dedicated to the forecourt and fuel market. Bringing together the commercial, manufacturing, environmental, or retail sectors within the forecourt industry.
WHERE THE UK HOSPITALITY SECTOR MEETS
As the newest additon to the UK Food & Drink Shows, The Restaurant Show is the flagship trade event in the hospitality sector for restaurateurs, bartenders, chefs and casual dining operators.
