The Pub Show, running 5 – 7 April 2027 at Excel London, is positioned as the sole dedicated trade event for the UK pub sector and forms a central part of Food, Drink & Hospitality Week. Over three days the exhibition brings together 25,000 verified trade visitors whose combined purchasing authority exceeds £1.06 billion, offering brand owners and suppliers direct access to senior decision‑makers actively seeking new products and innovations.
