With just under a year until the gates open, Hillhead 2026 is already close to capacity. The quarrying, construction and recycling showcase, to be staged at Tarmac’s Hillhead Quarry near Buxton from 23–25 June 2026, has confirmed 77 % of its outdoor exhibition area. Leading OEMs, including JCB, Volvo, Komatsu and Liebherr, headline a roster of more than 30 returning exhibitors, signalling a bumper event for off-road tyre suppliers and service providers.
Event manager Harvey Sugden said the “phenomenal” re-booking rate underlines Hillhead’s status as the UK’s leading live-demonstration venue for heavy machinery.
Large wheel-loader, dump-truck and excavator fleets rely on specialist OTR (off-the-road) tyres for quarry productivity and safety. With capital equipment orders often tied to tyre supply contracts, Hillhead provides a direct route to decision-makers specifying:
Visitor registration November 2025
Exhibition build-up 19–22 June 2026
Show days 23–25 June 2026
Outdoor demonstration plots remain in highest demand, but indoor hall space is still available. Companies supplying OTR tyres, wheel security systems, inflation services and sustainability solutions can register interest now via the Hillhead website.
Exhibitors can send press releases to info@tyrenews.co.uk for inclusion in Tyre News Media’s Hillhead 2026 Special.
