Cornwall Business Show Returns to Wadebridge in October

New zones, fresh faces and a twist on traditional networking coming to Wadebridge this October

The Cornwall Business Show returns to the Royal Cornwall Events Centre in Wadebridge on Thursday 9th October 2025, promising a more engaging experience for business owners across the region.

Running from 9.30am to 3.30pm, the event has been reimagined with a refreshed format, new features, and a stronger focus on connection, collaboration and innovation.

Notworking? Yes, Really

This year, organisers Four Front Events and LESW are introducing new zones designed to make networking feel less transactional and more human. One of the standout additions is the Notworking Networking Arena – a space dedicated to informal, light-hearted conversations that break away from the usual sales pitch.

Described as “fun, inclusive and refreshingly different”, the area aims to help professionals build relationships without the pressure of a hard sell.

Relax, Connect, Repeat

Also debuting this year is the Samphire Lounge, hosted by John Harvey of The Samphire Club. Sponsored and designed by BESPA, the lounge is pitched as an elegant space for guests to unwind and engage in high-quality networking with like-minded business leaders from across the region.

Jamie O’Neill, Sales Director at Four Front Events, said:

“We’ve reimagined the show experience to create more value and enjoyment for our exhibitors and visitors. It’s not just about making contacts, it’s about creating genuine connections, opening doors and building a business community people truly want to be part of.”

Who’s Exhibiting?

Many familiar names are returning, including Fernbank Advertising, Dales of Cornwall, WPA Healthcare and Truro & Penwith College.

Fresh energy will also come from first-time exhibitors, such as Kinetic Energy, Dartline Coaches, Emotional First Aid, and Buzz Interactive, joining a packed line-up of respected businesses from across Cornwall and beyond.
