Harrogate Convention Centre (HCC) has signed a five-year contract with Ocean Media Group, organiser of The Flooring Show, which will bring the trade show back to the spa town every year until 2029.

The Flooring Show 2024 takes place from 15-17 September. It will occupy six halls, expanding into Hall Q.

Featuring more than 400 UK and international brands as well as a line-up of demonstrations and product presentations, The Flooring Show is expected to attract over 3,000 visitors and generate an estimated economic impact of £450,000 for the local economy.

Alex Butler, group exhibition director, Ocean Media Group, said: “Harrogate is firmly cemented as the home of flooring, so we’re delighted to commit to another five years at HCC. The Flooring Show has grown by 25% since 2019, so we’re excited to see what the next five years hold for us.

“This year sees the exhibition expand into Hall Q which has added even more reasons for visitors to attend the show with new features and more stands than ever before. The central location of HCC is so unique, and it’s one of the main reasons why the flooring industry returns year after year. Our clients use so many of the restaurants and bars to conduct business after the exhibition has closed its doors.”
