Harrogate Fashion Week

At Harrogate Fashion Week you can see over 300 established and newer brands covering womenswear, footwear, accessories, swimwear and lingerie, filling four halls at Harrogate Convention Centre in the Yorkshire spa town of Harrogate, according to the organiser. It is a womenswear trade show for fashion retailers and buyers, with editions in February and August. At the February 2027 edition you can see autumn/winter 2027/28 collections.

February 2027 dates and opening times

You get three days to see the new collections, from Sunday 7 to Tuesday 9 February 2027, with a shorter final day.

Tuesday 9 February 2027	9:30am to 3:30pm

The summer edition after that is set for 1 to 3 August 2027.

Registration and who can attend

Entry is free, and registering in advance gets you fast-track entry. The show is aimed at fashion retailers and buyers sourcing new collections for their shops or reordering from brands they already stock. If you are thinking about taking a stand as an exhibitor or agent, you may also visit first. Badges are emailed out, and you bring the confirmation email or QR code on the day. Registration at the door is possible with proof of business, such as a business card or letterhead.

Brands and buyers

You can see everyday womenswear, outdoor wear and gift-friendly labels in one visit. Names on the February 2027 brand list include Betty Basics, Emu Australia, HV Society, Joules, Lily & Me, Barbara Lebek, Beaumont and Aruelle. An organiser article aimed at garden centre buyers adds returning labels such as Alice Collins, Brakeburn, D.E.C.K by Decollage, FOIL, Joe Browns, Soya Concept and Weird Fish, brands offering outdoor jackets, wellies, layers and practical shoes, including FitFlop, Frandsen, Hartwell and Woden, and exhibitors whose products suit a gift offer, such as Cyberjammies, Envy, Gist, Sarah Tempest and Zsiska. The same article mentions free coffee, pastry and prosecco happy hours during the show and an after-show party.

The organiser says boutique owners travel from the Scottish Highlands, the South Coast, Wales and Ireland to buy here. Other textile and fashion trade shows include Pure London, which opens at NEC Birmingham on 7 February 2027, the same day as Harrogate, and TEXPREMIUM at The Truman Brewery in London from 1 December 2026.

Exhibiting

If you exhibit, the organiser lists porters to help you unload, free tea and coffee, a free steaming area, and marketing and PR support. The show began in 2018 and, by the organiser’s account, has grown to four times its original size in eight years, with many brands rebooking since the first edition. You can download a sales brochure from the show’s Why Exhibit page, and enquiries go to the event team. Brands weighing up stand costs for a first Harrogate season may find the guide to building an exhibition budget useful.
