The Moving to Portugal Show and Seminars, the United Kingdom’s longest established event dedicated to relocation to Portugal, continues to attract strong and sustained interest from individuals and families exploring the prospect of living overseas.

The most recent London edition, held on 26 March 2026, welcomed a significant number of prospective movers, including homebuyers, entrepreneurs and families. The diverse attendance reflects the continued appeal of Portugal as a destination offering lifestyle opportunity, investment potential and long-term stability.

The March Moving to Portugal Show also introduced several initiatives designed to deepen professional engagement and enhance the overall experience for visitors. A dedicated broker session brought together UK estate agents and property advisers, providing an opportunity to gain deeper insight into Portugal’s expanding resort and lifestyle property market. The discussion explored current development activity, buyer behaviour and the opportunities emerging across established resort destinations.

Alongside the exhibition, the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in the UK hosted the UK-Portugal Business Exchange Executive Networking Drinks. The invitation-only gathering connected senior professionals, developers and advisers from both countries, creating a platform for relationship building and discussions around the growing links between migration, investment and cross-border business activity.

With a clear focus on the practical aspects of relocating from the UK to Portugal, the Moving to Portugal Show brought together experienced speakers, specialist panellists and a carefully curated group of exhibitors. Participants included FROM: (an Arrow Global company), representing several of Portugal’s leading resort destinations including Vilamoura, Monte Rei, Palmares and Aroeira.

Visitors were able to engage with trusted advisers from across the relocation ecosystem, including tax specialists from Forvis Mazars, real estate professionals from Fine & Country and banking advisers from Santander, alongside legal, visa and relocation experts.

Christina Hippisley, General Manager of the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in the UK, which organises the Moving to Portugal Show, commented:

“People attend the Moving to Portugal Show for many different reasons, from lifestyle change and family considerations to business expansion and long-term retirement planning. By gathering trusted experts in one place, the event provides clarity and confidence at an important stage of decision making. The networking element is equally important, allowing attendees to build relationships with professionals who can support them as their plans develop.”

The Moving to Portugal Show and Seminars takes place four times each year, with two events in London and one each in Dublin and Edinburgh.

The next events will take place in Dublin on 22 September, London on 15 October and Edinburgh on 12 November 2026. Free places can be reserved in advance at www.movingtoportugal.org.uk.
