Northern Homebuilding and Renovating Show 2026

The Northern Homebuilding and Renovating Show is at the Harrogate Convention Centre from Friday 30 October to Sunday 1 November, bringing together hundreds of brands under one roof for anyone looking to kickstart a home transformation. It's the UK's biggest event of its kind, and the Harrogate edition has a particular focus on greener, warmer, and more energy-efficient homes. Along with the stands, there's impartial one-on-one guidance from architects, planners, and home energy specialists on hand throughout the weekend.

Masterclasses and seminars run across the three days, led by industry speakers on a range of practical subjects: kitchen design trends, build costs, designing passive homes, heat pump sizing, and insulating old or listed properties. The show has been running for more than 30 years, pairing expert advice with practical tips, inspiring ideas, and the latest products to help people move forward with confidence on home projects big or small.

This year's show also ties into North Yorkshire's drive towards greener buildings. The region is aiming to be carbon negative by 2040, and more than 68 per cent of its homes currently fall below an EPC rating of C. Even the venue has been playing along, with the Convention Centre recently announcing multi-million-pound site improvements, including energy-saving LED lighting.

It runs Friday 30 October 10am–5pm, Saturday 31 October 10am–5pm, and Sunday 1 November 10am–4:30pm at the Harrogate Convention Centre, Kings Road, HG1 5LA. Entry is free, and there are two free tickets available to register, worth £24, with the offer expiring at 3pm on Sunday 1 November.
