The Manchester Furniture Show returns to Manchester Central from 5-6 July 2026, with a focus on sourcing, networking and the latest product innovations. We found out more for what visitors can expect to see.
Manchester Furniture Show (MFS) is strategically positioned between early-year range planning and key Q3-Q4 purchasing decisions, offering a valuable opportunity to review, reset and refine collections face to face. During the show, over 150 furniture and interiors brands will showcase over 25,000 products spanning upholstery, cabinet, dining, beds, accessories and homeware.
With 50% of exhibitors new for 2026, the show offers immediate access to fresh collections, with exhibitors including the likes of Ashwood, Whitemeadow, Home of Wool, Hill Interiors, HHI Sofa, One Holding, Magecloud, MaxiMover, Mazing, BBS, Avriio, Kamjo & Sensowell and Sacred Nature Furniture.
Taking a closer look at some of the exhibitors on show, La-Z-Boy UK is unveiling three exciting new ranges. Visitors to the iconic recliner brand’s stand will be the first to see Harris, Hunter and Alexander – the first collection to feature ambient lighting. The event will also see the launch of three new upholstery collections – two fabric and one leather. Retailers visiting the Furnico stand will be the first to see two new collections – Brecon and Chepstow. The manufacturer exclusively supplies unbranded upholstered furniture to retailers in the UK and Ireland and will have a total of six ranges on display at the event.
West Midlands Upholstery will be displaying an array of beautiful fabrics on existing models and two of its newer ranges – Palma and Buxton. In addition to newer products, the popular Henley & Malvern models will also be on show. “The repeats on these have been very encouraging, and Henley is currently our best-selling model. As always, we will be showing our lovely Patchwork Chairs, which do seem to have gained something of a reputation.”
Lebus is turning heads with the debut of its latest ranges. Taking direct cue from Italy’s prestigious Proposte show, the collection masterfully fuses high-end European textile trends with irresistible commercial appeal.

Alongside sourcing, networking remains a central part of the MFS experience. Informal meetings across the show floor, dedicated social spaces including the Summer Garden Bar, and the return of the Sunday Show Party create an environment where commercial conversations extend naturally beyond the stand.
Furthermore, taking place on Monday 6 July at 11:30am, the Women in Furniture Network panel discuss ‘Shared Growth in Action’ and explores leadership, collaboration and growth across a rapidly evolving industry, offering strategic insight alongside product sourcing, as well as discussing what supported their careers, where barriers still remain and what the industry needs to do differently moving forward.
