The next Hillhead, which is scheduled to take place June 25-28, 2024, at Tarmac’s Hillhead Quarry in the U.K., will feature a renamed and extended pavilion.
Previously known as the Main Pavilion, the Showground Pavilion at Hillhead will be home to more than 180 exhibitors, creating nearly 14,000 sq. ft. of additional indoor space.
QMJ Group, the organizer of Hillhead, says the change will help to offset some space lost in the Registration Pavilion, which is being slightly reduced in size following visitor feedback. The update will shorten the walk for visitors to the show ground and create space for a dedicated exhibitor entrance structure.
“For the last few shows, we have been unable to meet the demand for internal space and, with the Registration Pavilion at capacity, it made sense to extend the Showground Pavilion,” says Harvey Sugden, Hillhead event manager. “The structure will also house the newly designed Hillhead Café, which has been relocated to the center of the site and will offer a wider range of refreshments, as well as an outdoor terraced seating area and a networking lounge serving fresh barista coffee. We are also pleased to announce that we will be upgrading our air-conditioning provision in both structures and will be working with a new supplier: Watkins Hire.”
