National Convenience Show 2027 in Birmingham

The National Convenience Show is the UK's annual meeting point for convenience retailers, forecourt operators, independent stores, symbol groups, off licences, wholesalers and cafés. In 2027 it returns to Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre from 12 to 14 April with a line-up of c-store specific products, services and innovations designed to help retailers drive footfall, grow basket spend and sharpen their competitive edge. The event runs alongside Food & Drink Expo, Farm Shop & Deli Show, Forecourt Show and Foodex Manufacturing Solutions as part of the UK Food & Drink Shows. A single free pass gives access to all five shows, which together welcome more than 30,000 trade visitors and 1,500 exhibitors at the same venue. The content programme covers sector trends, product innovation, sustainability, retail technology and pricing strategy across multiple stages. This is a trade-only event and no under-18s are admitted. For visitors travelling into Birmingham, staying close to the NEC makes it easier to make the most of all three days and the associated networking.
