About the event
Update
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.
A Brief Introduction
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.
An Industry Profile
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.

Dear Megan,
I hope you had a great weekend.
You were a big help to us for the last 4 years since I first contacted you regarding booking hotels for IDS.
If it weren't for your assistance, we would have had a hard time to make the show successful.
We went back and forth a lot and thank you for your patience and understanding in advance.
I appreciate our collaboration and getting to know you.
Hope you have a great day and start to the week.
With warmest regards,
Phillip

We are very much satisfied with your service. Hotel Adler was at a level that could meet our needs. Hotel owners were friendly and helpful.Hotel was clean and quite hygenic. Only breakfast could be more diversified and its standards could be raised a bit more.

Thanks Tracy for reaching out. We certainly enjoyed our time in Frankfurt. The hotel was fine. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful.
We enjoyed the Fair. There was certainly lots to see. Unfortunately the fair did not have any fashion or jewelry or purses which would have been of interest to us. Is there a fair that focuses on those items. All in all we did enjoy the vast array of products on display at the fair and enjoyed many interesting conversations with retailers and distributors.
Sincerely
Keith
