Peace and Power through Paper and Pens
StationeryFest is an exciting, must-attend event for anyone that appreciates stationery, organisation, creativity and productivity.
In 2023, the first ever StationeryFest was a huge success, uniting people from across the UK and Europe. 800 people attended the first StationeryFest, PlannerFest and JournalFest! There were over 40 brands and independent businesses selling staionery, planning and journalling goodies.
In June 2024, nearly 1,500 visitors came to StationeryFest to purchase stationery goodies and gems from over 100 independent retailers and established brands from across the UK.
In July 2025, we moved to the Edge in Wigan and introduced the Friday Discovery Day, as well as the Saturday StationeryFest extravaganza, The event was a sell out on both days and there was an amazing mix of fabulous businesses large and small.

As well as the unrivalled shopping opportunities, StationeryFest offers popular "creativity stations" throughout the shopping halls and both free and paid workshops. These are opportunities to demo products, learn new skills and get creative in different ways!
There are also different interactive elements, such as exclusive StationeryFest prints from Palm House Studio to collect, a treasure hunt, a massive stamp rally, friendship bracelet swaps, stationery themed nail art, photo opportunities and so much more! Kia Creates created a giant journal and you could add to the scrapbooking wall with Quadrigloo.
This is a consumer based show. We are building the biggest B2C gathering of stationery lovers in Europe.
We believe in the peace and power of paper and pens - for planning, journalling and creativity. Good stationery makes the world a happier place! If you agree - come and meet your tribe in this extravaganza of pen and paper related products!
