Hillhead show postponed
Following a review of the Government roadmap to ease Covid-19 restrictions announced on February 22nd, The QMJ Group has made the decision to postpone Hillhead by 12 months.
Hillhead event director Richard Bradbury explained, “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,” he continued. “The team look forward to welcoming you back to Hillhead Quarry, Buxton, from June 21st to 23rd 2022.”
Hillhead is not the only industry event moved to next year. Organisers of the Executive Hire Show have also rescheduled their event for 2022. New plans are also in place for the Plantworx construction show. The inaugural Hillhead Digital kicks off on March 30th to 31st and you can read more about that online project here.
