THE TRADE ROOM brings you Thrive Fair: Business Expo & Youth Job Fair!
About this Event
Thrive Fair 2026 - Showcase Your Brand. Sell. Network. Grow.
This year, we're doing something bigger. The Trade Room has joined forces with Elevate Her UK to bring you Thrive Fair 2026 , a powerful partnership that unites London's premier business exhibition with an award-winning youth empowerment charity. Together, we've created an event that does more than showcase brands. It creates real opportunity.
Taking place on friday the 31st of July 2026 from 12PM - 6PM in London, Thrive Fair 2026 is where independent brands, entrepreneurs and creatives come together to sell, connect and grow, while opening doors for the next generation. Built around business, enterprise, opportunity and impact, this is a day designed to move your business forward and make a genuine difference in your community.
More Than a Business Event - Real Impact
Youth unemployment is at a critical high. Thrive Fair 2026 tackles this head-on. By exhibiting, you're not only growing your own brand, you're helping to change a young person's future. Vendors will have the unique opportunity to offer young people work experience, employment, mentorship and ongoing support, giving them a real route into the world of work and enterprise.
This is what makes Thrive Fair 2026 different. We support businesses, we help tackle unemployment, and we empower young people, especially young girls, to thrive.
Why Exhibit?
Securing a vendor stall puts your brand in front of many potential customers in a professionally curated environment. Exhibitors can:
- Meet hundreds of potential customers and generate direct sales
- Increase brand visibility and build new business relationships
- Network with entrepreneurs, professionals and London's growing business community
- Engage directly with an engaged, ready-to-shop audience
- Position your brand as a supporter of enterprise and opportunity
