Showcase Ireland 2026 has officially come to a close, marking three inspiring days filled with creativity, connection and an unmistakable buzz across the show floor.

This year’s show theme is ‘Making Irish Stories’ - in celebration of the depth, diversity and cultural power of Irish craft and design. The theme highlights the narratives behind the work of makers from every corner of the island and their stories shaped by landscapes, communities, heritage and innovation that makes the products found at Showcase so beautiful and unique.

This year’s event brought together the very best of Irish design and craft, celebrating the talent, innovation and passion that define Ireland’s creative sector. From established makers to emerging designers, the energy and quality on display reflected the strength and diversity of the industry today.

We were delighted to welcome an incredible community of exhibitors, buyers and partners whose participation made Showcase Ireland 2026 such a success. Their enthusiasm and collaboration helped create an atmosphere that was both vibrant and forward-looking, reinforcing Showcase Ireland’s role as a key meeting point for Irish craft and design on an international stage.

Showcase is presented by Design & Crafts Council Ireland (DCCI), with the support of the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, Enterprise Ireland, and the Local Enterprise Offices.
