The UK Stone Industry Event

The 12th Natural Stone Show is the UK’s only exhibition and conference dedicated to natural stone.

It is the main marketplace in the UK dealing with stone slabs, tiling or block; CNC machinery; diamond tooling; the latest fixing systems; sealants; adhesives; cleaning materials and any other related products and services.

Located in the heart of Europe’s fastest growing region, the Royal Docks area around ExCeL is benefiting enormously from its newly acquired Enterprise Zone status. Building on the momentum of the development of the Olympic Park and Stratford City, it is set to be the largest construction zone in Europe for the next decade.

Major commercial, residential and retail developments recently approved include the £1.5 billion deal to transform Silvertown Quays into London’s innovation quarter; the £1 billion contract to convert Royal Albert Dock into the capital’s next business district; plans to create the UK’s largest floating village at Royal Victoria Dock and a significant mixed-use residential scheme at Great Eastern Quay.

The next session of the show will be held from 25 to 27 April 2017, in London’s premier exhibition venue, Excel London.

    CONSERVATION AREA

    Benefit from free specialist advice, enlightening case studies and a forum for the exchange of information, experience and opinions courtesy of Historic England and English Stone Forum.

    Located at stands D44 to D50, the Natural Stone Show’s Conservation Area provides free advice, enlightening case studies and a forum for the exchange of information experience and opinions, helping you select the correct stone for building repair.

    Stone is an important part of the £3.6 billion conservation sector and has a thriving community of specialists committed to safeguarding the UK’s built heritage. This is represented at the show through a dedicated conservation area coordinated by Historic England and English Stone Forum, together with partner organizations including Historic Scotland, Building Limes Forum, the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) and Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC).

    AWARDS GALLERY

    Categories include interiors, landscaping, traditional and modern cladding, craftsmanship and sustainability.

    Presented by Stone Federation Great Britain, every two years the Natural Stone Awards recognizes projects which exhibit exemplary design and execution of stonework. These projects give a useful insight into the use of stone today and will be displayed in a Photographic Gallery in Area G60 of the Natural Stone Show exhibition hall.

    Each project showcased in the Gallery is accompanied by a case study outlining the technical challenges overcome and commentating on the aesthetic results that have been achieved. Complimentary copies of the Natural Stone Awards Souvenir Brochure will also be available in the Gallery courtesy of Stone Federation Great Britain, providing further information on the project’s architect, stone contractor and stone supplier.
