In-store events

What we host at the showroom, how to hear about events, and how to bring an idea to us.

What's on at the showroom

Several times a year we host small in-store events for customers, designers and the trade. They're free and unticketed unless we say otherwise.

Typical events

Spring sofa edit	March	Preview of new-season ranges with refreshments
Bed & mattress fitting clinic	April / October	One-to-one mattress consultations, by appointment
Bespoke design Saturday	May, September	Sit down with the bespoke team, bring your floor plan

Trade open evening	January	Trade-only, by invitation; new-year ranges and contract pricing

How to hear about events

Three options:

Sign up to our short newsletter at the bottom of any page (we email roughly once a month).
Follow us on the social channels listed in the footer.
Ask in the showroom to be added to our trade mailing list.

Bringing children or pets

Children welcome at all events. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the showroom at any time — we keep water bowls and a small biscuit tin at the till.

Refreshments

For most events we serve tea, coffee and Orkney shortbread. For ticketed evening events, light refreshments are normally included.

Suggest an event

If there's something we're not currently running that you'd travel for — an upholstery workshop, a Q&A with a specific designer, a furniture-care clinic — please tell us. Email enquiries@jandmmcewen.co.uk.
