P&D Show Draws Record Crowd at the NEC
The 2026 edition of the Painting & Decorating Show ran last week, welcoming a record-breaking crowd to its new location at the NEC in Birmingham.The show was co-located with InstallerSHOW and Professional Woodworking Expo, bringing together painters and decorators with installers, manufacturers, merchants, specifiers and industry professionals from across heating, plumbing, electrical, renewables, kitchens, bathrooms, building, interiors and future skills.
Together, the events gave visitors even more sectors, products and expertise under one roof, reflecting the way jobs happen in real life – with different trades, products and skills working alongside each other.
The NEC was busy throughout the three days, with visitors exploring product launches, hands-on feature areas, live sessions and conversations on stands across the halls.David Ventris-Field, Event Director, InstallerSHOW, said: “The show exceeded all expectations. The atmosphere across the NEC for all three days was incredible, and the response from visitors, exhibitors and speakers has been overwhelmingly positive. This was our biggest show yet, and the scale of it was matched by the quality of the conversations, the content and the opportunities created across the halls.
“We’re proud of what we delivered, and very grateful to everyone who played a part in making it such a landmark edition.”Looking ahead to the next edition of the P&D Show, get 22-24 June 2027 in your diaries!
