Harrogate Fashion Week Winter 2027: A Guide for Buyers and Exhibitors

The short answer

Harrogate Fashion Week Winter 2027 runs at Harrogate Convention Centre from Sunday 7 to Tuesday 9 February 2027, and the easiest plan is to stay in central Harrogate and walk to the halls. For a buying trip of a night or more, a serviced apartment or townhouse gives you room to go through your orders, a kitchen for early starts and space for the whole team. Book your stay as soon as your appointments are set, as show week is a lively time in town.

Harrogate Fashion Week at a glance

Billed as the UK’s leading womenswear trade show, Harrogate Fashion Week brings more than 300 brands to four halls at Harrogate Convention Centre, Kings Road, HG1 5LA. The February show presents AW27/28 collections across womenswear, footwear, accessories, swimwear and lingerie, with three days of trend discovery, buying and networking. Visitors travel from across the UK and Ireland. Brand lists and updates are on the official Harrogate Fashion Week website.

Opening times and registering

• Sunday 7 February – 9.30am to 6pm
• Monday 8 February – 9.30am to 6pm
• Tuesday 9 February – 9.30am to 3.30pm

The show is free to attend for the fashion trade. Pre-registering gives you fast-track entry with a badge sent by email, and registration for February opens soon on the show website. You can also register on the day with some proof of business, such as a business card or letterhead. There is a free cloakroom in Hall A, the Fashion Café at the back of Hall C serves food and drink all day, and the venue takes card and contactless payments.

Getting to Harrogate

• By train – Harrogate station is about a seven-minute walk from the halls. LNER runs four direct trains a day from London King’s Cross, taking around 2 hours 46 minutes, and the venue promotes 25% off selected LNER services. Our guide to arriving by train helps you get your bearings.
• By air – Leeds Bradford Airport is about 12 miles away, roughly 20 minutes by car, with daily flights to Dublin and Belfast. The hourly A2 bus takes around 31 minutes.
• By car – use HG1 2HR for the Convention Centre car park, handy if you are bringing samples or rails.

Where to stay for Harrogate Fashion Week

Anywhere in central Harrogate keeps you within walking distance of the halls and the town’s restaurants. Our guide to Harrogate Convention Centre accommodation compares the best areas, and our guide to choosing the right neighbourhood goes into more detail. For a buying team from the same boutique, one larger home is often more sociable and better value than several hotel rooms, with a table to review orders together in the evening. Brand teams arriving early to set up will appreciate a kitchen and a comfortable base for the whole show.

Evenings in Harrogate

Harrogate’s compact centre means good restaurants, wine bars and pubs are a few minutes’ walk from the halls and from your front door. See our guide to where to eat in Harrogate for our favourites, and book ahead if you are dining as a group. For a quieter catch-up with a supplier, Harrogate’s independent coffee shops are perfect, and the Turkish Baths make a lovely end to a day on your feet.

Making the most of the show

• Use the brand list to book appointments with the labels you most want to see.
• Plan your key meetings for Sunday and Monday, and use Tuesday’s shorter day for a final look round.
• Bring business cards and comfortable shoes for three days across four halls.
