Franchise Facebook Group

If you can’t make it to any of the events then please connect with us on social media or join this franchisee Facebook group where we’ll be posting live from various shows and events as they happen. Our social feeds are an interesting behind the scene peek at the franchise industry! At each of the franchise shows in the UK you’ll see lots of great brands of course but you’ll also discover that not everyone is there. By joining our Facebook group or this VIP list we’ll keep you posted of all the best franchises each year irrespective of whether or not they are at a show.

A great thing about this group is that if you can’t make it to a UK franchise exhibition then those that are there can let you know the highlights. 


In addition to the three main shows in England Franchise buyers can sometimes visit the following events but they are not always run each year!

Scottish Franchise Exhibition

The Scottish Franchise Exhibition has been run many times at the SECC and more recently at the Radisson Hotel in Glasgow. There are no plans to run this event in 2025. We think this is a huge shame but hopefully there will be a Scottish franchise Exhibition in future years. 

Welsh Franchise Exhibition.

The Welsh franchise exhibition has never really taken off. Instead of a full scale event there have been regional shows in Cardiff in previous years. No plans for a welsh franchise exhibition in 2025 sadly. We think this is a huge shame but hopefully there will be a Welsh franchise Exhibition in future years.
