More 2×2 for the Somerset Business Expo 2026!

Wednesday 6th May, 2026

We have announced an increase in the number of 2×2 stands or the Somerset Business Expo, responding to strong exhibitor demand ahead of next year’s event. The expanded offering is expected to enhance accessibility for businesses while broadening the overall exhibitor mix.

What the Expo is all about

The Somerset Business Expo is a full day dedicated to showcasing Somerset enterprise and supporting practical business growth.

For 2026, we are taking the next step by moving to a larger venue at Junction 24 near Bridgwater, expanding capacity to 80 plus exhibition stands and creating a Somerset-wide event that reflects the ambition and momentum we are seeing across our business community.

Alongside a busy exhibition floor, we will be delivering free practical workshops throughout the day, talks from local leaders, and free business support sessions with specialists.

Whether you are an established organisation, a growing business or a new start up, the Expo is a place to raise your profile, meet potential customers and partners, and stay close to what is happening across the county.

There are three main ways to be part of the Somerset Business Expo. You can attend as a visitor, explore the exhibition, join free workshops, access business support sessions and connect with other professionals. You can book an exhibitor stand and showcase your products or services throughout the day. Or you can become a sponsor and align your brand with the event in the lead up, on the day and afterwards.

There are only 12 stands left! So, if your interested on booking your stand, go to these links to book them.
