U.K. Hard-Surfaces Event Off 2021 Calendar

LONDON – Another 2021 hard-surfaces-industry event is off the calendar, with the postponement of the U.K.-based Natural Stone Show until 2022.

The biennial Natural Stone Show & Hard Surfaces 2021 exhibitions, due to take place here in late April, will move 12 months to April 26-28, 2022, in its usual venue of the ExCel convention center.

“We are conscious that the industry has been severely disrupted by the economic and social challenges brought about by Covid-19,” said Richard Bradbury, event director. “Following an extensive consultation process, the decision has been taken to delay the event by a year to allow market conditions to improve and to best support the natural-stone and hard-surfaces industry during this period.

“With plans for a vaccination program to be rolled out during the first half of next year, we anticipate a return to a more normal trading environment by the end of 2021.  This leaves the Spring 2022 event ideally placed, for visitors and exhibitors alike, to make the most of the recovery.”
