Reed Gift Fairs Melbourne

Reed Gift Fairs Melbourne returns is a landmark event on the calendar for Australian retailers to source from the largest variety of wholesalers all under the one roof - specialising in Gift, Home, Fashion and Kids & Family.

In the context of the current situation and out of an abundance of caution, we have made the necessary decision to postpone Reed Gift Fairs Melbourne, which was to be held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre from 17-19 September.

Reed Gift Fairs Melbourne will return again in 2022.
