The doors have officially opened at ExCeL London for the 2026 edition of the Stone & Surfaces Show. As the UK’s only event dedicated entirely to stone and surfaces, today marks the beginning of a premier three-day showcase where design ambition meets practical application.
A Hands-On Experience in a Digital World In an era where digital renders often dominate, the Stone & Surfaces Show returns with a clear message: “Because what you see online isn’t what you get”. Starting today, architects, designers, and specifiers have the unique opportunity to move beyond the screen and physically interact with the materials shaping today’s built environment. Visitors can explore thousands of materials—from natural stone and porcelain to next-generation composites—enabling them to touch, compare, and specify with absolute confidence.
Show Highlights: Innovation in Action
This year’s show floor is organized into three specialized zones to help professionals find exactly what they need:
-
NATURAL STONE: A showcase of global stone products for those seeking sustainable and natural materials.
-
TECHNOLOGY: Highlighting the future of the industry with innovations in stone processing and digital fabrication.
-
SURFACES: Presenting the latest trends in ceramics and decorative materials for modern residential and hospitality spaces.
For those seeking deeper inspiration, the Materials Lab offers hands-on exploration, while the Surfaces Cinema brings material performance and application to life.
Beyond the Surface: Expert Knowledge
The 2026 programme features “Must-Attend Sessions” where industry leaders tackle the real challenges of material selection. This isn’t just theory; it’s real-world knowledge on sustainability, regulations, and innovative case studies that can be applied immediately to any project.
Whether you are sourcing for upcoming projects or looking to stay ahead of emerging trends, the Stone & Surfaces Show at ExCeL London is where better specification decisions begin.
