Make the most of Hillhead 2026 with extended opening hours

11.06.2026

With more car parking spaces and an additional third entrance to the showground, getting to Hillhead 2026 will be easier than ever. Visitor demand is expected to be high, with Tuesday and Wednesday mornings likely to be the busiest periods of the event.

To help spread arrivals and give visitors more flexibility, Hillhead will remain open until 6pm on both Tuesday and Wednesday. Why not arrive from midday onwards to enjoy quicker access to the showground and make the most of the extended opening hours while exploring more than 620 exhibitors and four live demonstration areas?

Alternatively, Thursday offers another opportunity to experience the show at a different pace, with a full day of networking, product launches and live demonstrations still to enjoy before Hillhead 2026 closes at 4 pm.

Opening times

Tuesday 23 June: 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
Wednesday 24 June: 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
Thursday 25 June: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
