Frequently asked questions.

Our events are open to anyone and everyone aged 18+ looking for a new job or career.

Exhibitor line-ups are confirmed and updated right up to the day of each event, so we don't publish a fixed list — it would be out of date as soon as we posted it. Some exhibitors promote their attendance early on our Jobs Board (search the event's town and look for the gold Exhibitor ✓ badge), but many employers book without posting online first, so treat the board as a preview rather than the full line-up. Every fair hosts a mix of local and national employers hiring across sectors, and the full picture is only ever on the day — entry is free, so come and see.

All of our events run from 10am until 2pm. We recommend arriving by 1pm to ensure you have enough time to visit every stand and make the most of your experience.

You can expect to meet a wide range of employers that reflect the job market in the local area — a diverse mix of opportunities suitable for many different backgrounds and career goals. While each event is unique, you'll typically find roles spanning entry-level to management, including apprenticeships, graduate roles, franchise opportunities, and both part-time and full-time work. Many attendees also discover flexible and remote working options, along with CV advice, career guidance, and access to national job boards.

Bring several copies of your CV, and come ready to talk about what you're looking for. Dress smartly but comfortably — and bring a positive attitude. Many exhibitors interview on the spot.

Nothing. Every UK Careers Fair event is completely free for candidates to attend, always.

No. Candidate tickets are for people looking for work. Selling or promoting services to exhibitors or other visitors isn't allowed at our events, and that includes recruitment, training, employability and back-to-work services. Anyone doing this may be asked to leave. If your organisation would like to meet the people who attend, you can book a stand.

Yes — our Jobs Board at ukcareersfair.com/jobs lists live jobs, courses and apprenticeships from employers across the UK. A gold Exhibitor ✓ badge means you can meet that employer in person at one of our fairs. No CV uploads, no passwords — applying takes under a minute.

No. Every listing is posted by the employer themselves and applications go straight to their inbox — if they want a CV, they'll ask in their reply. Registering for an event gives you a free board account automatically (sign in with just your email).

Eligible jobs and apprenticeships on the board are formatted for Google Jobs. For eligible exhibitor roles, we also send Google an indexing notification. Google decides whether and where jobs appear. Courses, self-employment opportunities and volunteer listings are not treated as Google job postings. See Jobs Board details.

Our public fairs welcome people aged 18+ exploring jobs, training and their next career move. Experience, interests and attendance vary by event. Bring clear role descriptions, pay and working-pattern information so candidates can assess the fit. Discuss your hiring requirements with our team when choosing a fair.

Yes. Employers across sectors, charities, education institutions and training providers can exhibit. Bring clear information about the jobs, apprenticeships, courses or other opportunities you offer. Compare the event locations with where you need to recruit.

Stand availability depends on the event, package and venue capacity. Check your chosen event before making plans, and contact the exhibitor team if you are booking close to the date or need a particular setup.

Bring clear job descriptions, pay and hours information, and a simple application route or next step. Banners, leaflets and company information can help explain your offer. Check your exhibitor guide for arrival, parking and setup instructions, and make sure your display fits the space you have booked.

Plan enough cover to speak with candidates and take breaks while staying within your booked stand space. A team hiring for several roles may need different cover from one recruiting for a single vacancy. Use the package descriptions to choose the space that fits your team.

Contact the exhibitor team with your display dimensions before booking or bringing it to the venue. Space and setup arrangements depend on the package and venue, so a larger display needs to be checked in advance.

Events run from 10am to 2pm, with exhibitor access from 9am for setup. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before doors open. Check your event page and exhibitor guide for the venue-specific arrival instructions.

Parking, charges and unloading arrangements vary by venue. Check the event page and your exhibitor guide, and confirm any access requirements with the venue or exhibitor team before travelling. Do not assume parking is included with your stand.

Check the current booking terms for transfer and Event Token conditions, notice requirements and exclusions. Contact the team as soon as your plans change; the available options depend on your booking and timing.

Candidates use your application link or send an application through the board to your chosen email address. You handle the conversation with the candidate, with no per-application or per-hire fee. See how posting and applications work.
