A view of the Hillhead show ground from the western end of the quarry

Visitor Information

Three days of live demonstrations, 600 exhibitors and thousands of products for the quarrying, construction and recycling industries.

Held in a limestone quarry, Hillhead has maintained its reputation as the UK's largest quarrying exhibition, welcoming 20,000 visitors from across the world who come to experience the show's unique atmosphere, meet suppliers and see the latest equipment, products and services on offer. 

Hillhead would not be complete without its live demonstrations. The Quarry Face, Crusher Alley, Recycling and Registration Demonstration Areas will once again showcase a host of plant and equipment, all being put through its paces in a live quarry environment. See our dedicated demonstration page for details.

We look forward to seeing you at the next show on 23-25 June 2026
