We’re delighted to announce that Clipit is returning to Crufts 2026 — and this year, we’re doing it bigger and better than ever.

After an incredible response in 2025, we’ve expanded our stand for 2026 to create a space that’s calmer, more interactive, and fully focused on what matters most to us: education, expertise, and supporting the grooming community.

An open, welcoming grooming trade stand with clear walk-in space, visible products, and professionals talking with visitors rather than standing behind a counter. — Wide view of the Crufts exhibition halls at the NEC, showing busy trade stands and visitors attending the world’s largest dog show.

📍 You’ll find us in Hall 1, Stand 22 — near the Food Hall

📅 5th–8th March 2026

📌 National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham

A Bigger Clipit Stand, Designed for Learning

With Clipit returning to Crufts 2026, our larger stand allows us to do what Clipit does best — slow things down, explain the why, and give groomers and dog owners the confidence to make informed decisions.

This year, the stand has been designed to feel less like a shop and more like a mini Clipit Hub — a place where questions are encouraged and knowledge is shared.

Shows products as part of a system, not a sales shelf. — Professional grooming tools including clippers, scissors, and blade care products displayed clearly in an educational, uncluttered setting.

Clipit Returns to Crufts 2026 with Daily Grooming Demonstrations

For Crufts 2026, we’re especially excited to be offering live grooming demonstrations every single day on the stand.

These demos won’t be rushed performances or sales-led showcases. Instead, they’ll focus on:

Real-world grooming techniques
Understanding coat, skin, and preparation
How tools behave — not just how they look
Practical tips that groomers can take straight back to the salon

A professional dog groomer demonstrating grooming techniques at a live event, surrounded by an engaged audience watching and learning. — Live grooming demos every day — real techniques, real conversations.

Whether you’re a student, an established groomer, or simply curious about professional grooming, these sessions are designed to be approachable, informative, and honest.

Real Expertise, Real Conversations

One of the biggest differences on the Clipit stand is who you’re talking to.

Throughout Crufts 2026, the stand will be staffed by:

Two professional groomers, actively working in the industry
Paula, Founder of Clipit, with over four decades of experience across grooming, education, and product development

That means if you have questions like:

Where should I train to become a dog groomer?
What qualifications actually matter?
Which clippers are right for my workload or breed types?
What should I look for in grooming tables or baths?
How do I avoid costly mistakes when investing in equipment?

You’ll be speaking to people who understand the realities of the industry — not just the products.

This visually backs up the statement about two professional groomers + Paula’s four decades of experience without needing big claims. — Experienced dog groomers and educators talking with visitors, answering questions and sharing knowledge about grooming techniques and equipment.

Advice Beyond Products

Of course, we’ll have our Clipit range on display, including clippers, blade care, scissors, grooming tables, and baths. But the goal isn’t to push products — it’s to help you choose the right tools for your situation.

Whether you’re:

Setting up your first salon
Upgrading tired equipment
Studying grooming and building your kit
Or simply wanting to understand why one tool performs differently from another

The Clipit stand is a space to ask those questions without pressure.
