Greater Manchester Business Fair 2026

Cost: Free

#ManchesterBizFair | Celebrating 15 years of showcasing and supporting Greater Manchester businesses!

Local businesses are invited to take part in the Greater Manchester Business Fair at Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel on Weds 15th July 2026 (10.30am-3pm).

Set up in 2011 with the aim of bringing local companies together to meet, learn and network in a friendly but professional environment, the event is now one of the most well established business events in the area. Around 50 exhibitors and hundreds of visitors attend each year.

Exhibiting at the event provides you with a great platform to display and discuss your products and services to hundreds of potential customers. Lots of exhibitors also use the event as an opportunity to catch up or re-connect with existing and previous clients/prospects.

Furthermore, here at Liverpool BA we don't believe that the benefits of exhibiting at our fairs should be restricted to the day itself. So we provide a range of additional marketing benefits both before and after the event. These include an Exhibitor page on our event website (with links to your own website and social profiles), the option to feature special offers / promotions / attractions in our pre and post event email broadcasts (sent to c.10k contacts), and regular mentions/promotion across our own social media platforms.

A selection of sponsorship packages are also available for those wishing to have an enhanced profile and presence at this highly popular Business Fair.

Visiting the event is free and in addition to sourcing new suppliers and partners by browsing the exhibition, visitors can benefit from workshops on a range of key business topics delivered by expert speakers, 1-2-1 clinics, coaching, and advice, as well as a free networking session at 1pm. All are welcome, from sole traders to large companies, whether the business has been established for many years or is currently just an idea.

FREE post-event promotion for all business visitors that attend on the day!

There's absolutely no catch. Simply choose 'Event Visitor Promo Ticket' when registering for the event, then come along on the day and we will list your company in the Digital Event Guide published online after the event and seen by 1,000s of businesses, as well as promoting your business on our social media.
