Hillhead postponed to 2022
9 March 2021
The Hillhead construction and quarrying plant exhibition has been postponed to 2022 following a review of the Government’s roadmap to ease Covid-19 restrictions.
QMJ Group, which organises the biennial event, has decided to put back the event by a full 12 months to 21-23 June 2022 and it will be held at its usual venue at Hillhead Quarry, Buxton.
Event director Richard Bradbury said: “Under these guidelines, it is clear that the show will not be able to operate legally in June this year.
“Our priority is to provide the Hillhead experience that our exhibitors and visitors have come to expect but, with the continuing uncertainty around travel restrictions and social distancing measures, this is not achievable in 2021.
“By delaying the show until June 2022, the full benefits of a completed vaccination programme will have filtered through, allowing us to deliver a safe and vibrant event.”
These new Hillhead dates have implications for the Plantworx show, which is scheduled to take place on 14 to 16 June at the East of England Showground in Peterborough. An announcement from the organisers is anticipated soon.
