Thrive Fair 2026

OVERVIEW:

London's premier Business Expo & Youth Job Fair. Showcase your brand, hire young talent & grow. 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.

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.
