Why you need to visit The Flooring Show this September

Earlier this year The Flooring Show announced its expansion into Hall Q, a decision that sees the show grow by 30%. Such growth is testament to the strength of the flooring industry and cements the show as the UK’s largest and market leading flooring trade event.

Open to retailers, contractors, fitters, architects, interior designers, specifiers, project managers, the list goes on… this is an unmissable event for anyone within the flooring industry. This year’s dates are set for 15-17 September, at its much-loved home of the Harrogate Convention Centre, and with over 300 brands exhibiting, The Flooring Show 2024 is the ultimate destination for flooring professionals.

Design Spotlight

For years, The Flooring Show has attracted premium flooring brands, with Harrogate ranked the most exclusive place to live in Yorkshire and ranked in the top 25% most expensive cities in the world. Located in the newly accessed Hall Q, the Design Spotlight has been launched in response to the demand from architects, interior designers, property developers, and specifiers in search of the most unique, design-oriented residential and contract flooring solutions on the market.

Event Director, Alex Butler, says “The Design Spotlight is a feature we’ve wanted to introduce for a couple of years now, and the expansion into Hall Q allows us to do just that. We want architects and interior designers to know that The Flooring Show caters to them as much as it does to our contractors and fitters.”
