Who Visits?

The Stone Show attracts thousands of visitors from the natural stone industry, from stonemasons, wholesalers, quarry operators and retailers, to architects, interior designers, conservationists, contractors and developers.

These key decision-makers represent the UK stone industry and the customers that it provides for. They promote and demonstrate the strength of the natural stone industry within construction, hard landscaping, interior design and conservation.

The Stone Show has established a core visitor profile which will be enhanced by Hard Surfaces, widening the visitor profile and offering further opportunity to promote the use of natural stone.
