What is Professional Woodworking Expo? 

Professional Woodworking Expo is the UK’s only dedicated tradeshow for woodworking and joinery professionals. As an evolution of Materials and Finishes Show, it will be taking place at the NEC Birmingham from 17-19 May 2026 and will showcase cutting-edge machinery, tools, software, materials, components and finishes. With live demos, expert-led content, and networking opportunities, it’s the must-attend event for carpenters, joiners, machinists, and installers looking to stay ahead in the industry. 

Same Great Event. Same Innovation. 100% Woodworking. 

Testimonials

  • "We spoke to a large array of manufacturers and suppliers who were interested in saving up to 75% on their packaging costs by decreasing the time labour and excess materials currently being allocated to their packaging process.”

  • “After so long without a dedicated event to the industry, The Materials & Finishes Show exceeded all expectations and we really enjoyed connecting with attendees. It was great to see a combination of career woodworkers and apprentices / students in attendance. The demo zone was a great opportunity for the crowd to get engaged and ask questions."

  • “Rubio Monocoat UK and Ireland had a fantastic experience at Materials & Finishes Show. It was a great chance to meet new customers and engage with current users. We also got the chance to do live demos, which got our voices out to the whole hall! The team behind MAFS were dedicated to making us have the best experience we could. Our exhibit gained lots of footfall and we can’t wait to do it again!"

  • “The market is very competitive at the moment, and its good to bring alternative options for visitors, to get hands on with the machines at a show like this, and to extend the Turanlar and Global brands to UK customers. We believe these machines speak for themselves in terms of innovation, manufacturing capability, engineering, quality, incredible value for money."

  • “The show has provided us with a platform to showcase our products in an efficient and positive way. We had a few sales and a number positive leads over the four days. The show gave us the chance to spend time with customers, getting to know exactly what they do and how we can help them moving forward."
