About This Event

UK Metals 2026, the UK Metals Expo, brings the industry to Birmingham, United Kingdom from 4 November 2026 to 5 November 2026. Trade professionals treat it as essential groundwork: a single trip that replaces months of scattered supplier visits. Its annual cadence means there is always a next date on the horizon to aim for. With an anticipated 5300 attendees, it offers strong scale and networking potential. Behind the event stands Easyfairs, an organiser with a strong track record in the field. Doors open at National Exhibition Centre, a space designed to keep large gatherings flowing smoothly.

Location matters, and Birmingham delivers. It brings together the infrastructure of a major event city with the warmth of a place used to hosting guests from abroad. Reaching Birmingham is straightforward, with strong international connections and local transport that make getting to the venue easy. Places to stay are plentiful, and picking one near the venue keeps your mornings short and your options open. Use the trip as a springboard: Birmingham sits within easy reach of much of what the United Kingdom has to offer.

Buyers will find Metallurgy, Metallurgical Industry, Metalworking, Non Ferrous Metals and Chemicals & Materials on display, with plenty of room to source, compare and negotiate. It is an efficient way to meet multiple suppliers, see products first-hand and build new trade relationships in just a few days. The exhibitor list runs to 300+ exhibitors, from category leaders to the challengers snapping at their heels.

It is an efficient way to meet suppliers, source new products and grow your network in a single visit. For wholesalers, retailers and the suppliers who serve them weighing where to spend their time, UK Metals 2026 makes a strong case for itself.

As with most major events of this kind, registering in advance and planning your schedule ahead of time is recommended.
