Hillhead postponed until June 2022 10 March 2021
Following a review of the UK government’s roadmap to ease COVID-19 restrictions announced on 22 February, the QMJ Group has decided to postpone the Hillhead event by 12 months. Under these guidelines, it is clear that the show will not be able to operate legally in June this year, said Richard Bradbury, event director. Our priority is to provide the Hillhead experience that our exhibitors and visitors have come to expect but, with the continuing uncertainty around travel restrictions and social distancing measures, this is not achievable in 2021.
The event will now be held at Hillhead Quarry, Buxton, from 21-23 June 2022.

The study, which was led by academics at Cambridge University with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), suggests further modifying nature for human use could be costing society more than it benefits it, but these “natural capital” costs are often not taken into account by decision-makers.
It echoes the findings of a landmark review released last month by Prof Sir Partha Dasgupta, the Cambridge economist, which warned that the failure of economics to take into account the depletion of the natural world was putting the planet at “extreme risk”.
For the latest study, scientists worked out the annual net value of the chosen sites if they stayed “nature-focused” compared with an “alternative” non-nature focused state over 50 years. They valued each tonne of carbon as worth $31 (£22) to global society, a calculation generally considered to be quite conservative.
