Why exhibit?
The UK Jewellery Festival is a prime opportunity to connect with top retailers in a boutique setting, showcasing your collections during a key restocking period
To its exhibitors the Retail Jeweller Festival is the quality buying and networking destination for the UK jewellery sector. Driven by Retail Jeweller, the country’s leading jewellery and watch title, the Festival connects jewellery brands, manufacturers, designers and service suppliers with quality retailers, buyers, and more better than any other event in the sector and in its own inimitable way.
The Festival is different from other trade events in the sector as it is exhibitor focussed and offers a boutique, luxury experience for buyers and exhibitors alike; from its series of business-boosting panel discussions featuring industry leaders to quality free catering across both days.
Taking place in March, the Festival is the unique, independent opportunity to showcase your new collections at a time when retail is replenishing its stores for the year ahead. Plus, new for the fifth edition of this vibrant event, to drive its quality footfall and unbeatable networking opportunities even further, Retail Jeweller Festival 2025 will be held in conjunction with Retail Jeweller’s market-leading events; the UK Jewellery Awards Shortlist Party, Retail Jeweller’s Inspiring Independents and Rising Stars: 30 Under 30.

The Retail Jeweller Festival was a success for us at ChloBo and the perfect opportunity for us to connect with all of our retailers, the Retail Jeweller team and other brands and suppliers. The show was perfectly executed and we can’t wait for it to return next year.”
Andi Lee, managing director, ChloBo
This was the first time Hot Diamonds had exhibited at the Retail Jeweller Festival and we were overwhelmed by the response. The show was very busy and we managed to see a lot of new prospective retail partners as well as catch up with existing partners. It was a great show and one which we would recommend to any suppliers to exhibit at and retailers to attend.”
Andrew Lewis, sales director, Hot Diamonds
