From the Sector

FutureScape, the UK’s leading and largest landscaping industry event, has announced that its 2026 edition will be held at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre. 

First launched in 2012, FutureScape has grown from a modest gathering into a two-day event that brings together thousands of professionals, suppliers, designers, contractors and innovators with seminars, live demonstrations, awards, and networking. 

Formerly held at ExCeL, the move marks the next phase in the event’s growth and aims to deliver a more expansive, accessible, and immersive experience for exhibitors, visitors, and partners across the landscape, design, and outdoor living sectors. With more than 20,000sqm of unpillared indoor space and 100,000sqm of outdoor hard standing, Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre provides the ultimate platform for the event’s future success and expansion.

Discussing the move for 2026, Tom Proudly, portfolio director for FutureScape event, said: “We’re incredibly excited to reveal the next chapter in FutureScape’s journey – moving our 2026 event to Farnborough International. This decision is driven by our commitment to both visitors and exhibitors; providing better access, indoor and outdoor space, and the perfect environment to showcase the very best in our industry.”

Sarah Marshall, Venue Director of Farnborough International, added: “FutureScape is a true game-changer for the landscape sector, and we’re delighted to welcome them to our venue portfolio. At Farnborough International, we’re passionate about partnering with ambitious organisers who utilise our indoor and outdoor facilities to turn their visions into reality, and we’re excited to collaborate with the dynamic FutureScape team to deliver an exceptional event next year.”

Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre is a nucleus for pioneering corporate and consumer exhibitions, offering award-winning customer service, event consultancy and first-class facilities. The venue continues to attract an increasingly diverse range of events, cementing its reputation as a venue where ideas, industries, and innovation converge to create extraordinary experiences. 

With adaptable external event space across secure, well-drained hardstanding areas and expansive grassland, Farnborough International’s outdoor setting transitions seamlessly from indoor halls to open-air zones, supporting everything from vehicle displays, stunt driving and interactive demos to large-scale outdoor activations and interactive attractions.
