Howdens to welcome Charlie Manby to Kitchen Fitter Arena at InstallerSHOW 2026

Trade kitchen supplier Howdens has revealed it will be welcoming professional darts player Charlie Manby to the Kitchen Fitter Arena at this year’s InstallerSHOW, giving visitors the chance to meet him and go head‑to‑head in a challenge, with a daily prize up for grabs. 

Taking place between 1pm - 2pm on each day of the event, installers can put their accuracy to the test against a rising star of the darts scene. Those who are closest or beat Charlie’s score entered into a daily draw to win a signed bottle of champagne and will be hand-illustrated to feature in Howdens own Trade Book.  

The Arena will also host a packed programme of live activity throughout the day, including two dedicated Howdens sessions. Visitors are invited to join the 12pm session to explore Howdens’ latest kitchen and bedroom innovations, discover how products are developed and see them brought to life through hands-on demonstrations. 

Then at 3pm, there will be a live panel Q&A on How to Build Your Business with Howdens Business Builder. Featuring Gavin Tutton, Jamie Radford, The Bald Builder and more, this daily session shares practical advice to help you start and grow your own trade business. 

Visitors are advised to arrive early, as places for the darts challenge are expected to fill quickly. 

InstallerSHOW 2026 takes place at NEC Birmingham from 23rd - 25th June.
