The British & International Franchise Exhibition returns to London – and we’re exhibiting on stand D80!

This weekend, the UK’s premier franchise event makes its return to Olympia, London. The British & International Franchise Exhibition is happening on 30 & 31 January 2026. Supported exclusively by the British Franchise Association, this exhibition is one of the most important dates in the franchising calendar. It is open to anyone interested in discovering opportunities in franchising or exploring how to grow their own business through this proven model.

Across two full days, hundreds of aspiring entrepreneurs, business owners and franchise professionals will explore opportunities from a wide range of sectors.  This includes retail, care, food and drink, fitness, children’s services and professional services. More than 100 leading franchise brands will be exhibiting under one roof. They will offer visitors the chance to speak directly with franchisors and get an inside look at what it takes to invest in and grow a franchise.

Gain Free Insights

One of the standout features of the event is the extensive programme of free talks, workshops and panels. Industry experts will share insights into everything from understanding the fundamentals of franchising to navigating finance, legal considerations and franchise success stories. These sessions are designed to educate, inspire and empower visitors at every stage of their franchising journey. This can be whether they are at the very beginning of their research or ready to take the next step.
