The Flooring Show South: A New Trade Event in Surrey

Why The Flooring Show South Has Been Launched

Each September, thousands of retailers, contractors, fitters, and designers travel to Harrogate to attend The Flooring Show - the UK’s largest and longest-running flooring event. But with research showing that 85–90% of southern-based retailers don’t currently attend due to travel distance, it was clear the industry needed a more accessible option.

 

The Flooring Show South has been created to meet that need: a more intimate, regional edition designed to make it easier for flooring professionals across the South of England to experience everything that makes The Flooring Show so special.

 

The new event will bring together over 100 leading brands for two days of high-quality networking, inspiration, and business opportunity in one convenient location.

 

Supported by Leading Industry Brands

The launch is proudly supported by six founding partners who share a commitment to driving the industry forward: Elements & Textures Inspirations, F. Ball & Co, Furlong Flooring, J2 Flooring, Kellars, and Likewise Floors.

 

They’ll be joined by a strong exhibitor line-up, including:

 

Abingdon, Alliance Flooring Distribution, Artisan Fibre, Balta, Blackheath Products Ltd, Brampton Chase, Canopy Flooring, Causeway Carpets, Coretec, Cormar Carpet Company, Curtain Express, Evergreen Floors, Hanson Plywood, Headlam Brands, Ibexx, Janser, John Barnham & Son Ltd, Karndean, Kensington Trims / Sweeney Todd, KHR, Kleen-Tex Ltd, Lecol, Likewise Flooring, Masterpiece Systems, MeasureSquare, mediaCo, Myscribe Solutions Ltd, Packexe, Premier Flooring Distribution, Rakata Technology, Refina, Rinos, Salesmark West/Floorwise, Sarva Foam, Stairrods, Tarkett, Truu Tools, UK Display Stands, Ultimate Home Living, V4 Floors, Valley Wholesale Carpets, Westex Carpets, YB Floormaster, and YTD.

 

Collectively, these brands showcase the complete breadth of the flooring industry - spanning carpet, wood, LVT, underlay, tools, adhesives, and accessories.
