The 2018 edition of the Hillhead exhibition is expected to outstrip the successful 2016 show in terms of both visitors and exhibitors
The organisers of the coming 5894 Hillhead quarrying exhibition in the UK are further extending the show facilities. A new 70m long structure will be sited alongside the existing registration pavillion. This will boost the capacity of this part of the showground to 90 exhibitors.


Event director Richard Bradbury explained: ‘With the main pavillion selling out before the end of last year and enquiries still flooding in, we have made the decision to extend again, creating the opportunity for an additional 30 exhibitors to attend.’

Visitor registration is open for the event, which takes place from 26th–28th June at Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton.
