The Source Trade Show 2027 in Exeter

The Source is the South West of England's biggest trade show for anyone working in speciality food, quality drinks, profitable catering and inspired hospitality. Held across two days at Westpoint Exhibition Centre in Exeter, it brings together hundreds of producers, suppliers and service providers under one roof — from artisan food and drink to food-to-go, foodservice equipment, interiors, EPoS and business services. Buyers from cafés, restaurants, pubs, hotels, farm shops, forecourts, convenience counters and contract caterers attend to taste new products, compare suppliers face-to-face and plan ahead for the season. The show also welcomes the public sector, including schools, colleges and hospitals, along with larger group buyers. Running at the start of the year, The Source is the ideal moment to refresh a menu, refresh a shop's shelves and build partnerships that last beyond the aisles. Registration is free for trade visitors. For buyers travelling from outside Devon, staying close to Westpoint makes it easier to make the most of both days without a long drive home at the end of each one.
