93rd National Fruit Show 2026
About this Event
The National Fruit Show will return to the Kent Showground, Detling, on Wednesday 4 November 2026.
The show remains the UK’s key meeting place for the British fruit sector, bringing growers and suppliers together from England, Scotland and Wales.
The one-day event showcases innovation and industry developments and facilitates practical conversations about the current state and future of the horticulture sector.
One of the standout features of the National Fruit Show continues to be the central fruit display, which proudly exhibits the quality and diversity of British apples, pears and nuts, and reflects the year's growing season.
Increased visitor numbers in recent years have helped create a lively atmosphere and make the Show an ideal event for launching new products, discovering new companies, engaging with growers, networking with others in the fruit industry, celebrating competition results, and catching up with friends and clients alike.
Whether you're attending for the day as a visitor, competitor, sponsor or exhibitor, you are directly supporting the UK fruit industry, as the charity organisers, the Marden Fruit Show Society, reinvest all show profits to promote the better growing, grading, and marketing of British fruit.
We look forward to seeing you all on 4th November 2026!
The National Fruit Show is proudly supported by major sponsors crop production specialist and specialist fruit and vine machinery dealership .
