About the festival
One boutique event powered by 100 years of insights
The Retail Jeweller Festival returns for its seventh edition in February 2027—delivering the UK market’s premier face-to-face buying and networking platform at a pivotal moment in the retail calendar.
Brought to you by Retail Jeweller magazine, the voice of the UK jewellery industry since 1925, the Festival bridges commercial sourcing and executive education, uniting decision-makers from across the fine jewellery and watch sectors under one roof.
The Retail Jeweller Festival is free to attend for those working in the jewellery and watch industries. Tickets include complimentary catering across the two days, with tea breaks and lunch, free access to all panel discussions to learn from the best in the business, and selected discounts and show offers from certain exhibitors.

A great buying event combined with valuable content and attended by industry leaders, the Retail Jeweller Festival brought together the country's vibrant jewellery scene. You could say it was like the Glastonbury of the jewellery sector and I would definitely recommend the event to suppliers and buyers alike.

The 2024 edition of the Retail Jeweller Festival was the best yet. There were a really broad selection of suppliers covering every facet of the jewellery market including everything from high end European brands and mass market product offerings right through to casting suppliers for those such as ourselves.
