The Spring Furniture and Bed Show celebrates its 4th year, as an open event, with an exciting venue move to Telford. We take a look at what’s on show.
Taking place from 20 – 21 May 2025 at the Telford International Centre, The Spring Furniture & Bed Show is organised and managed by Minerva Furniture Group, “an independent buying group for the independent retailer”.
Established since 1990, the group has been working with quality independent furniture retailers spanning the UK, Ireland & Channel Island. This year sees the hosts celebrate its 35th anniversary.
This purpose-built exhibition facility is well equipped, centrally located and easily accessible by road and rail making it the perfect destination for this two-day event.
Two halls featuring cabinet furniture, beds, upholstery, bedroom furniture and accessories will be on display from industry-leading exhibitors.
