The Movers & Storers Show

At The Movers & Storers Show your removals, storage or self-storage company can register as many staff as it likes for free entry, over two days each November in Hall 2 at NAEC Stoneleigh in Warwickshire. The Movers & Storers Show is a trade exhibition for these industries, launched in 2007. The organiser calls it the biggest UK trade event for the removals and storage industries and says it is independent of any trade association or publisher.

The 2026 show

You can visit on Tuesday 17 or Wednesday 18 November 2026 and park free. Doors open from 10am to 5pm on the Tuesday and from 10am to 4pm on the Wednesday. The venue, in the Kenilworth area, has more than 11,000 free parking spaces next to the halls, plus a disabled parking area close to the entrance.

Who can attend and what it costs

Your whole team can come in free, from drivers and porters to directors, if they work for a removals, storage or self-storage company and register in advance. People in related fields such as warehousing, logistics, relocation and facilities management are also welcome. Online registration closes at 6pm on Monday 16 November. After that, visitors can still register on arrival for £10 per person, which the organiser gives in full to its official charity. Suppliers to the industry cannot come in as visitors and must exhibit or sponsor instead, and visitors may not sell or promote their own services at the event.

What you can see on the show floor

You can compare more than 65 exhibitors listed by the organiser for 2026, and talk directly to the builders of removal vehicles of all sizes on display. Names on the list include Basil Fry & Company, S Jones Containers, SBR Specialist Coachbuilders, Storman Software, Trafalgar Cases and the Container Self-Storage & Traders Association. Other features include:

• Packer of the Year, where crews of two have 15 minutes to fit a pile of boxes and export-wrapped furniture into a wooden storage container, with penalties for anything left over. Entry is free for crews employed in removals or storage, and the 2025 title went to Happy2move.
• An Innovation Trail around 16 stands showing something new, among them LiveSwitch, sedisto and Wood’s Packaging Ltd.
• A Destination Net Zero zone where people from the industry demonstrate practices and products.
• A café and networking area at the centre of the hall.

Free seminars on running your business

You can hear free seminars and panel discussions in the Seminar Theatre on both days, hosted by Charlotte Parslow of The Mover Magazine. Visitors are asked to reserve places. The 2026 timetable covers cutting the admin out of payments, building a self-storage business from a first site, the housing market in 2026, what tech partnerships deliver for removal companies and how AI tools decide which movers to recommend. Panels look at redesigning the UK home-moving process and the future role of self-storage. Speakers include Dominic Honey of RemovalsPlus and Oscar Pais of Relo AI.

Exhibiting

As an exhibitor you reach around 1,000 individual attendees a year, drawn from an audited database of more than 10,000 movers and storers, and over 80% of exhibitors rebook each year, according to the organiser. Stand space is sold per square metre, with a minimum of 6 sqm and four price tiers based on stand type and position. Prices are given on enquiry. A shell scheme stand comes with white foamex walls, grey carpet and a name board, plus a website listing, a profile and logo in the visitor show guide and an entry in the show newsletter. Our guide to shell scheme or space only sets out the difference.
