The UK Stone Show returns to ExCeL, London. The 9th edition of the fair will take place from 15-17 March 2011. 

According to the organizers ExCeL offers a world class facility for visitors and exhibitors alike. The recent completion of its £165 million phase 2 expansion, new on-site hotels and significantly enhanced transport links all underline the level of investment going into this part of London as it gears up for the 2012 Olympic games.

Now entering its 17th year, the Natural Stone Show is the only UK event to exclusively focus on natural stone and directly related products and services. Exhibits will include a vast range of stone from all over the world - granite, marble, limestone, sandstone, travertine and slate for use in all types of work - flooring, cladding, hard landscaping, kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, fireplaces, memorials and sculpture together with fixing systems, sealants, adhesives, cleaning, materials, stone working machinery and tools. Conferences and specialist advice areas will be part of the fair, too.

The natural stone market in the UK has grown over the past decade as architects, designers and clients have made stone the material of choice for all kinds of construction, hard landscaping and interior design. Furthermore there's still much in demand for conservation and restoration work, and even memorials.
