New site developments announced for Hillhead 2026.
Share
After clearly listening to exhibitors and visitors, Hillhead organisers have announced a new range of showground improvements for the 2026 event. All designed to improve the experience of both exhibiting and visiting…
The new site developments include:
The return of a dedicated ‘Red’ exhibitor car park at the east end of the site, which will be larger than ever before. This will allow the redirection of up to 1,400 cars from the main Hillhead Lane entrance, streamlining traffic flow and reducing queues at the show’s peak visiting times.
A £105,000 upgrade to the Wi-Fi network, with a ring of fibre extended across the site to improve connectivity. This will allow a larger number of free hot spots for visitors and improve bespoke digital solutions for exhibitors.
A temporary EE/BT mobile phone mast has been secured for the 2026 show, providing improved service for users of these networks. Other network users will be able to make Wi-Fi calls from the additional hot spots being provided around the site.
Following the successful relocation of the Hillhead Café into the Showground Pavilion, an additional coffee lounge will also be added this year, meaning more catering options and outdoor seating for both visitors and exhibitors.
A major upgrade to the site water system will allow an increased number of toilet units across the site. The upgrade will also facilitate an additional water refill station with visitors able to access free chilled water at the Registration Area, Showground Pavilion, and in the Organiser’s Office.
The UK’s largest quarrying and construction equipment exhibition takes place from 23–25 June 2026 at Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton, Derbyshire. Put the dates in your diary and pre-register for your FREE entry badge today at: www.hillhead.com
