From Saturday 7 to Sunday 15 November 2026, the Parc des Expositions will host this fair dedicated to designers, artists and craftspeople. Organised by the Gard Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI), this latest edition will bring together nearly 170 exhibitors from all over France.<\/p>\n<p>For over fifty years, Nimagine has been showcasing contemporary, handcrafted art. For us, at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villaragazzi.com\/en\/\">Villa Ragazzi<\/a>, this event is also a great opportunity to enjoy N\u00eemes and its many things to do whilst staying in the Gard.<\/p>\n<h2>Nimagine 2026: an event dedicated to creators<\/h2>\n<p>The Nimagine trade fair stands out for the diversity of the expertise on display. The 2026 edition will focus in particular on two main themes: <strong>home and fashion<\/strong>. Visitors can thus discover original pieces across a wide range of fields, including interior design, furniture, lighting, jewellery, accessories and textiles.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition also places a strong emphasis on the various materials and techniques used by the craftspeople. Clay, wood, glass, metal, textiles and recycled materials offer visitors the chance to discover creations that are both traditional and contemporary.<\/p>\n<p>This diversity makes Nimagine an event of interest both to art and craft enthusiasts and to visitors who are simply curious to discover new creations.<\/p>\n<h2>When is the best time to visit Nimagine in N\u00eemes in November 2026?<\/h2>\n<p>The next edition of Nimagine will take place <strong>7 to 15 November 2026<\/strong>, at the N\u00eemes Exhibition Centre. The fair therefore runs for nine days, making it easy to fit into a weekend or a longer stay in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Opening hours vary from day to day. At weekends and on Wednesday 11 November, the exhibition is open from 10.00 am to 7.00 pm. From Monday to Thursday, with the exception of Wednesday 11 November, the exhibition welcomes visitors from 12 noon to 7 pm. There will also be a late-night opening on Friday 13 November, until 10 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Before you set off, we recommend that you check the latest information from the Parc Expo N\u00eemes, particularly to check the opening hours and any events scheduled for the day of your visit.<\/p>\n<h2>What\u2019s there to discover at the Nimagine trade fair?<\/h2>\n<p>As well as the designers\u2019 stands, Nimagine offers a truly immersive experience of the world of craft. Visitors can view the works on display, chat with the designers and gain a better understanding of the techniques used to create the pieces on show.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 edition also includes <strong>live artistic performances<\/strong> in the area dedicated to contemporary art. The works created during the exhibition can then be shown to the public. This dynamic aspect allows visitors to discover not only the final result, but also part of the creative process.<\/p>\n<h2>Making the most of N\u00eemes during a visit in November<\/h2>\n<p>Nimagine could easily be the starting point for a weekend spent exploring N\u00eemes. The city boasts a remarkable heritage, including its ancient monuments, museums and various neighbourhoods that are perfect for exploring on foot.<\/p>\n<p>November is also a good time to explore the city in a quieter atmosphere. In 2026, N\u00eemes\u2019 cultural programme will include, amongst other things, the season <strong>\u2018Water, a source of inspiration\u2019<\/strong>, on display at several museums and cultural venues until 22 November.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the Museum of Fine Arts is offering a guided tour exploring the fascination with water, with tours scheduled for 4 and 15 November 2026. This programme therefore allows you to continue exploring N\u00eemes beyond the Nimagine exhibition.<\/p>\n<h2>Staying at Villa Ragazzi between N\u00eemes and Montpellier<\/h2>\n<p>To make the most of this event whilst still enjoying a relaxing setting, we look forward to welcoming you to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villaragazzi.com\/en\/chambre-hote-gay-homme\/nimes\/\"><strong>Villa Ragazzi<\/strong><\/a>, our guest house in Uchaud, in the Gard, between N\u00eemes and Montpellier.<\/p>\n<p>Our organisation is dedicated to a <strong>male gay clientele<\/strong> and fosters an intimate, friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
