Made in the Midlands Expo 2026

About the Expo

The Midlands is where the Made in Group began, and in 2026 we’re bringing our regional expo back to its roots. Returning to Walsall FC, the venue of our first-ever show in 2011, this event champions manufacturers who believe in rebuilding UK supply chains and strengthening regional industry.

With excellent access, free parking spaces, and a manufacturing only audience, the expo is designed for meaningful conversations and practical connections.
