A new 70 m long structure will be sited alongside the existing Registration Pavilion to boost its capacity to 90 exhibitors. Event director Richard Bradbury explained: ‘With the Main Pavilion selling out before the end of last year and enquiries still flooding in, we have made the decision to extend again, creating the opportunity for an additional 30 exhibitors to attend.’

With only a handful of outdoor stands left to allocate, Hillhead 2018 will host more than 500 exhibiting companies for the first time.

Visitor registration is open for the event, which takes place from June 26–28 at Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton – www.hillhead.com
