The 2025 Havering Chamber Showcase is open for business
The Havering Chamber Business Showcase was created to enable Chamber members promote their businesses to other members and businesses in Havering.
Previous Showcase’s have been very much B2B events at venues such as Queens Theatre, Havering Bowls Club and Romford & Gidea Park Rugby Club but this year we are offering something different with the opportunity to promote B2C at a more public venue in the Mercury Shopping Centre.
Be part of this major event
The Showcase is FREE to attend and we welcome non-members and the general public
The main Showcase will be located on Level 3 outside the Lumiere Cinema and runs from 4pm to 8pm. There will also be stands on Level 1 by the escalators for our sponsors and consumer focused businesses from 1pm to 4pm.

WHEN: Wednesday 8 October 2025
Shopping Mall (Level 1) 1pm – 4pm
