Craft, Hobby + Stitch International 2025 will be held as a live trade exposition at NEC Birmingham. The hosting date for the event is set for February 23rd to February 24th, 2025.
CHSI – Craft, Hobby + Stitches International – enjoys a leading position in the craft and hobby industry in the UK, and it is known as the country’s number one creative craft show. Editions tend to bring in over 6 000 buyers from all over the country and Europe on average. Those are specifically good numbers when you count that there are only 200 exhibiting firms on the show floor. If that sounds like a smart business investment, then you need to travel to the NEC in Birmingham, UK for your dose of sales opportunities.
The focus of CHSI is predominantly connecting exhibitors with buyers and as such it exists more as a procurement platform, which sees over 100,000 different products showcased under one roof. The trade fair offers the full breadth of products within craft and hobby – papers, beads, fabrics, instruments, clays, dough materials, painting supplies, and paints. Adding another layer to the experience is the busy support program. The Insights Hub is where you can discover educational resources aimed at running a successful business and new market trends, with workshop sessions running for a total of 50 hours.
Birmingham has much to offer in terms of hotels and guest houses. Why spend hours combing through offers and comparing prices when you can have Travel 2 Fairs Ltd do all this for you? You receive a customised list of deals within a business day courtesy of your very own personal travel assistant, and all you have to do is pick your favourite. Travel 2 Fairs Ltd makes your hotel reservation for Craft, Hobby + Stitches International according to your specification, and we’re comfortable working at any scale.

The 2023 iteration of the event occurred between 2023/02/19 and 2023/02/20 in NEC Birmingham. The event site did not include coronavirus protection during the iteration, which featured 86 exhibiting firms. This was due to the UK repealing its pandemic restrictions.
The 2024 iteration of CHSI occurred between 2024/02/25 and 2024/02/26 in NEC Birmingham. The event featured more than 70 exhibiting firms.
CHSI 2025 was a live trade expo held between 2025/02/23 and 2025/02/24 in NEC Birmingham. It featured over 60 exhibiting firms and more than 10 lecturers.

Dear Tom,
We had a good stay. The hotel is clean and people are friendly and helpful but it is really very old fashioned! The furniture and decoration 1970, could become very fancy again in a few years maybe? I recommend to take your own body wash etc with you while theirs isn't good quality. Breakfast is very correct Have a nice day and I will certainly contact you again for a next fair.
Best regards

Hi,
The average opinion of our people was: The rooms were really o.k., good bed, enough space etc., and there was an easy access to the public transportation. What they did not like was the poor breakfast. Further two of them noticed empty bottles on the room at their arrival, that have not been removed during their whole stay. That's no good room service.
Dear Ellie,
Thank you for your email.
Yes, the hotel and its service are simply perfect. I am grateful for all efforts you have made.
Pertaining to Milan CPhI, yet to confirm my itinerary. I will keep you informed when I need your help.
All the best.

Tom Many thanks for your e mail. I have left some feedback with the hotel but I thought the hotel was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful, the gym was usefeul & the food was excellent. In terms of location it was perfect. I would definitely recommend the hotel for future stays. 5 stars from me & if it is good enough to accommodate both Robbie savage and Howard Webb then it was good enough for me. In terms of your service you provided it was excellent and hassle free – it takes the stress out of looking for hotels. Are you a partner for the accommodation side of DSEi as we will probably look to exhibit in 2017 – I would love to stay at the hotel again but recognise that you can only book maybe 10 – 12 months in advance ?
Regards Scott
