Painting & Decorating Show 2026 to co-locate with Professional Woodworking Expo in Birmingham

The Painting & Decorating Show 2026 will join forces with the Professional Woodworking Expo (PWE) and InstallerSHOW when the events take place at the NEC Birmingham from 23–25 June 2026. The co-location is expected to create one of the UK’s most comprehensive trade platforms, bringing together professionals from woodworking, decorating, construction, fit-out, installation, and interior design sectors under one roof.

The move reflects a growing trend toward greater collaboration between trades involved in modern building and interior projects. By connecting woodworking manufacturers, joinery specialists, painters, decorators, contractors, installers, architects, and specifiers, the combined events aim to encourage knowledge sharing, business networking, and cross-sector innovation.

The Painting & Decorating Show has established itself as the UK’s dedicated exhibition for painting, decorating, and surface-finishing professionals. Visitors can expect to discover the latest developments in paints, coatings, application equipment, surface preparation technologies, and sustainable finishing solutions. Live demonstrations, expert-led seminars, and hands-on product experiences will provide valuable insights into emerging industry trends and best practices.

Alongside it, the Professional Woodworking Expo will showcase cutting-edge woodworking machinery, tooling, software, materials, and manufacturing technologies. The event continues to attract furniture manufacturers, joiners, cabinet makers, shopfitters, and woodworking professionals seeking productivity-enhancing solutions and new business opportunities.

For exhibitors, the co-location offers access to a broader and more diverse audience. Suppliers serving multiple sectors will benefit from increased visibility among decision-makers involved throughout the entire project lifecycle—from manufacturing and installation to finishing and decoration.

Visitors will also enjoy the convenience of accessing all co-located events through a single registration, enabling them to explore innovations across multiple disciplines and gain a more complete understanding of today’s interconnected construction and interiors marketplace.

As demand grows for integrated project delivery and collaborative working practices, the combination of the Painting & Decorating Show, Professional Woodworking Expo, and InstallerSHOW is set to deliver a dynamic environment where ideas, technologies, and business opportunities converge. The 2026 edition promises to be a must-attend event for professionals looking to stay ahead of industry developments and build valuable connections across the wider built environment sector.
