The future of British industry relies on robust local supply chains, collaborative partnerships, and a shared commitment to regional growth. This October, the Made in Group is taking a bold step to champion these values by bringing its highly anticipated regional expos back to their roots.

Focused on quality over sheer scale, the 2026 Made in the Midlands and Made in Yorkshire exhibitions are designed to unite decision-makers, engineers, and industry leaders who believe passionately in the UK’s industrial future.

Returning to Our Roots: Made in the Midlands

Kicking off the autumn showcase on Thursday, 8th October 2026, the Made in the Midlands Expo returns to where it all began: the Pallet Track Stadium (Walsall FC). Serving as the venue for our very first show in 2011, Walsall FC will host a highly curated, manufacturing-only audience.

With 50 industry-leading exhibitors and an expected 500 visitors, this event is built specifically for meaningful conversations and practical connections. Attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet with top-tier Midlands manufacturers committed to local sourcing, including Sertec, Ansaldo Nuclear, Birmingham City University, Amtico Flooring, Pre-Met, and many more.

With thousands of free parking spaces and excellent access at J9 of the M6, it has never been easier to explore regional capabilities, build resilience, and accelerate your reshoring efforts.

Championing the North: Made in Yorkshire

Just one week later, on Thursday, 15th October 2026, the spotlight shifts to the North for the Made in Yorkshire Expo. Held at the prestigious Accu Stadium in Huddersfield, this dynamic one-day event is the ultimate networking hub for Yorkshire’s manufacturing and engineering sectors.

Like its Midlands counterpart, the Yorkshire expo prioritizes a high-quality, targeted environment. It brings together a diverse array of local manufacturing champions and vital supply chain partners. Visitors can connect with renowned innovators such as Labman, Balmoral Tanks, Accu, and Airedale Springs, alongside major industry players like Hako and Pryor, who are proudly exhibiting at both regional events.
