Who are we?
We are a group of picture framers from all over the UK organizing this event just for the fun of it - We're not making any financial gain!
We are aiming to have the sort of trade exhibition that, as picture framers we would want to go to.
A Brief History
The Framers Forum Live Event has very humble beginnings. It all started in 2008 when forum member Roboframer suggested forum members attending the Spring Fair meet up and put faces to online names at a hotel close to the NEC in Birmingham. This meet up paved the way to a repeat event at the same hotel for Spring Fair 2009, this time with a much larger attendance.
The first social get-together after the 2008 Spring Fair.
After widespread disappointment with the reduction in size of the Gallery & Framing element of the Spring Fair a decision was made to hold a forum meet up separately from Spring Fair. Stratford-Upon-Avon was chosen to be a centrally located venue within the UK with good transport links. The opportunity arose to have a small room for 6 exhibitors to provide us with a table top trade show.. Framers Forum Live 2010 was Born!
Widely acknowledged as a fantastic success, it is from these humble roots that will see Framers Forum Live 2011 launch as a Trade Show for picture framers, organised by picture framers.
