The Flooring Show South: A New Chapter for the Industry

The UK flooring industry is set to welcome an exciting new addition to its trade calendar with the launch of The Flooring Show South, taking place 15–16 April 2026 at Sandown Park, Surrey. Building on more than 60 years of success in Harrogate, this new southern edition has been created to bring the very best of the industry closer to retailers, contractors, and specifiers based in the South of England.

For many southern professionals, travelling north has long been a challenge in terms of time and cost. The Flooring Show South responds directly to that need, offering a focused, two-day event designed to make sourcing products, meeting suppliers, and building relationships easier and more efficient.

The launch is proudly supported by six founding partners — Elements & Textures Inspirations, F. Ball & Co, Furlong Flooring, J2 Flooring, Kellars, and Likewise Floors — alongside an impressive exhibitor line-up including Abingdon, Balta, Brampton Chase, Coretec, Cormar Carpet Company, Headlam Brands, Karndean, Lecol, Tarkett, V4 Floors, Westex Carpets and many more. Collectively, they represent the full breadth of the flooring sector, spanning carpet, wood, LVT, underlay, tools, adhesives, and accessories.

Visitors can expect more than 100 leading brands under one roof, showcasing the latest collections, innovations, and technologies shaping today’s market. From traditional carpets to luxury vinyl tiles and engineered wood, the event offers a comprehensive overview of the products driving growth across residential and commercial sectors.

Beyond the exhibition floor, networking will take centre stage. All visitors are invited to attend a drinks reception at 5pm on Wednesday 15 April at the Parade Ring Networking Bar, located on the upper foyer next to the main exhibition hall. With stunning views over the parade ring, this relaxed and informal gathering provides the perfect opportunity to connect with suppliers, manufacturers, and fellow flooring professionals.

In a market where face-to-face interaction remains key to building trust and securing business, The Flooring Show South offers a valuable opportunity to explore products first-hand, strengthen partnerships, and gain insight into emerging trends — all within an accessible and business-focused setting.

Registration is now open, and southern flooring professionals are encouraged to secure their place at what promises to become a key fixture in the industry calendar.
