Hugglets September 2026 Review.
(October 04, 2026)On Sunday September 20th 2026 Hugglets was held outside of London for the first time in it's long history - it was a risk but it paid off! The venue was the NEC Birmingham in the Concourse Suite and it was wonderful. There were no steps to negotiate for either traders or visitors, unloading was easy, the room was well lit and bright with plenty of space. The atmosphere was brilliant, a long queue at 10.30am for Hugglets Club Members and another queue at 11am for the General Public, the noise level was a real indication of how busy it was with lots of smiling faces and friends greeting each other.
On a personal level for Steve and I it was a wonderful experience, our first in-person fair since February 2020 and we have really missed them, seeing all our collectors, friends, suppliers and fellow bear artists, it was good to be back. We are so pleased that it was such a success that Sebastian and family had no hesitation at booking again for next year, they did it on the day! We will be there too, we have booked our table and are looking forward to being back next year, save the date, Sunday 19th September 2027 - see you there!
