NFE 2024 launches with a new brand

NFE 2024 launches with a new brand, a third hall – and new date format!

Thursday 13 June to Saturday 15 June 2024

A vibrant new brand for the National Funeral Exhibition launched at the end of October. It was also revealed that the 2024 show would run with a new three-day format from Thursday to Saturday. Held at Stoneleigh Park, the floor space will increase by more than a third to encompass a third hall and larger outside exhibition area.

One of the world’s most popular funeral sector exhibitions, many of the international exhibitors that were unable to attend the show in 2022 due to lingering COVID travel rules, will be back as the show returns, bigger and better than ever.

In response to feedback from both visitors and exhibitors, NFE 2024 exhibition will be held from Thursday 13 June to Saturday 15 June 2024 at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire.

The show is also expanding into a third hall for the 2024 show, in response to interest from exhibitors for more stand space for new brands and larger display areas. A larger outside exhibition area has also been designed, to provide additional space for vehicle manufacturers to showcase their latest models.

Jane Lawrence, NAFD Event Operations Manager, who organises the show explained:

“The NFE brand has been reinvigorated with a bright and vibrant new look, echoing the optimism and trust in the NFE brand that we see from the market.

“It’s one of three major step changes in the show that exhibitors and visitors will see when they visit the website.

“We’ve also opted to slightly change the format. It remains a three-day event but, over the years, Sunday has become progressively quieter as a show day, so is clearly less attractive to visitors – and this naturally does not work well for exhibitors.

“Feedback from last year’s exhibitors and attendees asked for more of the show to be held during the business week, but one weekend day to be preserved to ensure that those unable to leave their businesses Monday to Friday would still be able to attend. So we’ve moved to a Thursday-Saturday format, which has met with a very positive response from the market.”

“Hall 1 and Hall 2 are almost fully reserved already, so exhibitors should get in touch to reserve their preferred space as soon as possible.”
