Parsley in Time shines a spotlight on exhibitors, product launches and a prize draw at the Business Design Centre
Business Design Centre, Islington, 10th September 2026
Visitors to Parsley in Time’s Tableware Takeover can do more than browse the latest in tabletop trends. The event invites guests to step inside all six participating showrooms, discover new launches, meet product experts and enter a prize draw by collecting a stamp at each stop.
Running from 10am to 4pm, the takeover brings together Amefa, Arc, Artis, Churchill, Nevilles and Villeroy & Boch for a day of inspiration, trends and hands-on discussion. Drinks and food will be served throughout the event, with an after-show party at Flight Club in Islington. Visitors can unwind over a few drinks, or even keep the conversation going well into the evening.
A special competition will also encourage guests to make the most of the full showroom experience. Anyone who visits all six showrooms and collects a stamp in each one will be entered into a raffle to win a selection of prizes contributed by the exhibitors.
“There are some stunning prizes on offer thanks to our generous suppliers,” says Rob Priest, area sales manager for Parsley in Time. “Go to all six showrooms and get a stamp in each one and you could get lucky.”
He adds: “This event puts you in front of the experts. Rather than flicking through a brochure, you can hold the products yourself.”
Each showroom will be highlighting tableware and glassware designed to inspire operators looking to refresh their tabletop offer. At Artis, visitors will be able to see the Playground range, including its new Solento Bowl in black, which combines a matt glaze with a glossy finish, also available in grey. Artis is contributing Luigi Bormioli Atelier Prestige champagne flutes as its raffle prize.
Arc will be showcasing its Disco cocktail range, a new collection aligning with the growing demand for striking presentations of cocktails. Chris Blunt, Regional Sales Manager for Arc, says: “Cocktails are very on trend at the moment. Our new Disco range is elegant glassware while tactile on the outside. Lots of texture, strength and durability.” Arc’s raffle prize will be a set from its Chef & Sommelier Galea range.
“I’m really excited about the Parsley in Time takeover,” says Vicky Hunt, Business Development Manager at Churchill. Churchill will be showcasing its Fresco range, specifically its new inked collection which presents digital prints on a super vitrified ceramic body. It will also be contributing a six-piece diner set from its Stonecast collection for the prize giveaway.
At Nevilles, home to GenWare, the spotlight falls on its GenWare Terra Porcelain collection. Featuring the popular aqua blue finish, the range uses a reactive glaze that makes every piece unique. The result emphasises individuality and character in tabletop presentation. Nevilles will also be offering a prize, which will be announced closer to the event.
Amefa will be launching its new Paul Wirths range of knives at the event. Made using Damascus steel, the knives are designed to be exceptionally sharp and durable. Amefa’s raffle prize is a set of Sabatier V series knives, its premier range, used by leading chefs around the world.
“We’re really happy that this event is happening and hopefully we can contribute to its success,” says Fabio Di Palma, UK Business Development Manager for Amefa.
Villeroy & Boch will be highlighting its Stella Blossom range. “Ergonomic shape, very different, with a fine bone china, it just looks absolutely stunning,” says James Wilmott, UK & IRE National Account Manager – Hospitality UK – Dining & Lifestyle Division. “I think it’s a great idea to open up the BDC to multiple manufacturers and maximise the potential for exposure in a single day.”
The event is aimed at hoteliers, restaurateurs, bar owners and anyone involved in a foodservice operation. To secure tickets simply email info@parsleyintime.co.uk or call 020 8317 5080.
