The official Professional Woodworking Expo Event Preview is now available, giving woodworking and joinery professionals an early look at what to expect when the show opens at the NEC Birmingham from 23-25th June 2026.
Taking place in Hall 2, the 2026 event will bring together the full woodworking supply chain, from independent craftspeople to large-scale manufacturers. Visitors will be able to explore woodworking machinery and CNC technology, hand tools and power tools, timber, boards and materials, joinery systems and components, finishing products and coatings, workshop equipment and software, training and business support.
The preview highlights a packed programme of live demonstrations and practical features, including the Window Manufacturing Zone, Machinery Showcase, Innovation Station and Carpentry Skills Hub. These areas will give visitors the chance to see machinery, tools, materials and techniques in action, compare performance and gain practical advice they can apply directly to the workshop or site.
Professional Woodworking Expo 2026 is expected to welcome 6,000+ trade visitors, 200+ exhibitors and feature four dedicated machinery and demonstration zones, creating a focused environment for product discovery, supplier meetings, learning and networking.
A new format for 2026
Professional Woodworking Expo is co-located with InstallerSHOW and the Painting & Decorating Show, giving visitors access to three trade events with one ticket. The preview explains how the co-location creates a broader view of the trades ecosystem, from structure and installation through to final finish.
