Somerset Business Expo 2026 exhibitor stands now on general sale

Monday 9th February, 2026

Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce is pleased to confirm that exhibitor stand bookings for Somerset Business Expo 2026 are now open to all businesses.

Following an early access window for Chamber members, which saw a strong response and many stands already reserved, the remaining exhibition spaces are now available on general sale.

Somerset Business Expo 2026 will take place on Friday, the 12th of June at Junction 24 near Bridgwater. The event will bring together organisations from across the county for a full day of connecting, learning and showcasing, giving Somerset businesses a platform to be seen and to encourage more organisations to work with local suppliers.

The official floor plan, published at the end of January, has already helped exhibitors start planning their presence. Businesses can continue to use the floor plan to review the layout and explore stand positions before booking, with stands allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Somerset Business Expo continues to grow into one of the most exciting opportunities for businesses across our county. With over 50% of the stands already reserved during the early access window, it is fantastic to now open the remaining spaces to the wider business community. This event is all about helping local organisations raise their profile, make meaningful connections, and be part of something that truly showcases the strength and diversity of Somerset’s economy. Whether you are looking to expand your network, promote your services, or simply be seen in the region’s most vibrant business environment, I would strongly encourage you to secure your stand while availability remains.

Roger Smith, General Manager of Sedgemoor Chamber of Commerce

What to expect at Somerset Business Expo 2026:

  • 80+ Exhibitors
  • Connecting Sessions
  • Free Workshops and Talks
  • Free Business Support

Businesses interested in exhibiting are encouraged to book as soon as possible while stand choice remains broad.

As part of our commitment to supporting the local business community, we are offering highly discounted exhibitor rates for Sedgemoor Chamber members.
