The UK Concrete Show returns for its 14th edition on 25-26 March 2026 at NEC Birmingham, bringing together the entire concrete supply chain under one roof for the UK’s only dedicated concrete exhibition.
Following a record-breaking 2025 edition that saw a 21% increase in unique attendees, the 2026 show is already experiencing unprecedented demand, with over 60% of floor space booked within three months of the previous event.
The Industry’s Annual Meeting Place
As the most widely used construction material both domestically and globally, concrete shapes the UK’s built landscape.
The UK Concrete Show serves as the essential meeting point for over 200 leading brands, manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers to showcase the latest innovations driving the sector forward.
The free-to-attend event welcomes contractors, precasters, engineers, architects, suppliers, and concrete professionals from across the UK and beyond to explore cutting-edge equipment, materials, products, and services spanning the full concrete lifecycle—from admixtures, precast and formwork to pumps, mixers and reinforcement.
Key Features for 2026
New Product Hub
