The grocery industry’s biggest summer event

This is the industry’s biggest grocery event in the calendar and arguably the most important place to get your brand and business seen for the year ahead.

Connect and network, host your customers, get your brand and product centre stage with some of the biggest sampling opportunities, and reward your team in a relaxed setting.

More than 6,000 people come together for the day in one place with a great mix of all the key retailers, and around 280 FMCG businesses. Add in headline entertainment, great food and drink and our wellness area and you have an amazing all-rounder event in one day.

NEW for 2027, we are going bigger again with another standout entertainment line-up and an enhanced VIP experience offering dedicated food, drink, seating - offering more space for valuable conversations, cloakrooms and toilets and premium access to the main stage.

A great day with a bigger purpose

Barcode is built to bring grocery together, but every ticket and sponsorship also helps GroceryAid raise vital funds to support people across our industry through tough times.

Surplus stock from the festival is also donated to local community initiatives, helping to minimise food waste after the event.

I’ve attended different industry events but Barcode was a real knockout! From the brand representation, venue selection, logistics, food, drink and entertainment- it was a 10/10.
