Naidex North: National Accessibility, Inclusion and Disability Expo

Naidex is coming to The Great Yorkshire Events Centre in Harrogate on Wednesday 16 June 2027. It's the regional version of the National Accessibility, Inclusion and Disability Expo, a one-day show that brings together disabled people, healthcare and trade professionals to look at mobility aids and assistive technology. It's part of a wider 2027 calendar that kicks off with the flagship show at the NEC Birmingham on 23-24 March, and this Harrogate date is billed as Naidex North.

Naidex has been running for over 50 years and is the UK's leading show for disability, accessibility and independent living. It's built as an inclusive space where innovators, care professionals and people with lived experience all end up in the same room. The 2027 season is their biggest yet, with more than 12,000 attendees predicted across the calendar, and the organisers are taking the show on the road to the North following Naidex South at Farnborough International, which welcomed close to 2,000 visitors. Actor Warwick Davies, who gave the keynote in 2019, calls it 'a really important show' for both disabled people and the industry.

Across the 2027 calendar, there are more than 30 speakers and 250 exhibitors. The show has a dedicated Naidex Junior space for children and young people, and a Naidex Professional Theatre that runs CPD-accredited content for healthcare professionals. It's a broad mix, so whether you're there for the latest kit, the talks, or just to see what's out there, you'll find plenty to get stuck into. The sector itself is worth a staggering £270bn, and a good deal of that is on display here.

Tickets are free if you pre-register, so you can head down without spending a penny. It's a one-day event at The Great Yorkshire Events Centre on 16 June 2027.
