The Muslim Lifestyle Expo returns to Event City Manchester on the weekend of October 26 and 27.
The Expo will welcome over 120 exhibitors from over 15 countries from as far and wide as Canada, Malaysia, France and Pakistan.
With modest fashion and the halal food industries leading the way, the Muslim lifestyle sectors are now recognised as one of the fastest moving consumer markets in the world growing at nearly double the rate of the global economy.
Rauf Mirza, Co-Founder of the Expo said: “With year-on-year growth in the lifestyle sectors, our Expo welcomes people to engage with a huge array of innovative products and services from top brands and high street names.
"What makes our event attractive is the mix of exhibitors, modest fashion shows, seminars, live cookery demos and a feast of family friendly entertainment. The variety on show is what is unique about the Expo.”
