The Flooring Show Esher

Since its launch in 1962, "The Flooring Show" has become the leading trade fair for the UK flooring industry. Organised by the renowned Ocean Media Group, an experienced event organiser with a clear focus on trade audiences and industry relevance, it takes place annually at Sandown Park Racecourse in Esher, Surrey.

The show is open exclusively to trade visitors and is aimed at retailers, flooring installers, architects, planners, interior designers and decision-makers in the construction industry. It provides a specialised platform covering every aspect of the flooring industry. More than a product showcase, it is a comprehensive industry event spanning the entire lifecycle of flooring – from innovation and manufacturing through installation to distribution, marketing and design.

Exhibitors from the UK and abroad present a wide range of products, including carpets, vinyl flooring (including LVT and SPC), laminate, wood flooring, natural stone, cork, rubber and tiles. The range also includes all the materials needed for installation – from adhesives and underlays to modern tools and accessories.

An extensive seminar programme complements the exhibition. Industry experts address topics that will shape the sector’s future, such as sustainability, the circular economy, technical standards, digital marketing and store design. This also makes the show a platform for sharing knowledge and finding inspiration.

Sustainability is playing an increasingly important role. More and more exhibitors are adopting environmentally friendly production processes, certified materials and recyclable products. Discussions on environmental responsibility, innovative recycling approaches and sustainable business models highlight the event’s forward-looking character.

As a key meeting place for the UK industry, The Flooring Show is also an important networking platform. Suppliers, retailers and designers use the show to make new business contacts, strengthen existing partnerships and exchange insights into market trends. In specially designed inspiration zones, visitors can explore creative flooring concepts alongside furniture and accessories – a particular benefit for retailers and interior design professionals.

The The Flooring Show will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 14. April to Thursday, 15. April 2027 in Esher.
