About Showcase: 

Showcase, one of Ireland’s largest international trade shows that offers manufacturers, designers, and craft makers the opportunity to exhibit their new collections. In a global context, Showcase outperforms other UK and European trade shows based on the Net Promoter score, which looks at visitor satisfaction and loyalty.

Showcase was established in 1975 by Design & Crafts Council Ireland and began life as the National Crafts Fair. Over the past 50 years, it has grown from a show for domestic buyers alone to a show for buyers from over 20 countries. This year, 2025, it expects to welcome 3,500 visitors, including many who return year on year.

Each year at Showcase there is an area dedicated to Local Enterprise Office clients. In 2025 Local Enterprise Office Cavan were delighted to have four businesses representing the county. Below is a video of their experience of the event.
