Stone & Surfaces Show announces fresh identity and 2026 dates at Excel London
Media Ten is proud to unveil the newly rebranded Stone & Surfaces Show, the UK’s definitive event for the natural stone, surfaces, and surface technology industries. The 2026 edition will take place 12–14 May 2026 at Excel London, co-located with UK Construction Week, offering three powerful days of innovation, networking, and specification.
This edition marks a major milestone as the first to be fully owned, run and managed by Media 10, one of the UK’s leading event organisers, best known for producing high-profile design and construction exhibitions such as Clerkenwell Design Week and UK Construction Week. The relaunch signals a bold new direction and investment into the sector, connecting materials, creativity, and manufacturing at scale.
With a renewed focus on where technology, innovation and design connect, the Stone & Surfaces Show brings together a world-class portfolio of materials, tools, and expertise under one roof. Already signed up to exhibit are top names including Mapei, Stonegate, ASM Supplies, Fila and Prodim International. From natural stone and digital fabrication to ceramics, composites and architectural finishes, the event is a one-stop destination for architects, designers, stonemasons, fabricators, contractors, and specifiers.
Sam Patel, Divisional Director for the Stone & Surfaces Show, said: “The UK’s surfaces and stone sector is evolving fast - this rebrand signals a bold new vision for the show, reflecting our role at the forefront of material innovation and market leadership.”
