Dear Colleague,
Following the lead of the Royal Horticultural Society who have now cancelled all shows that were rescheduled for September, it is with deep regret that this year’s LANDSCAPE Show has officially been postponed.
With social distancing foremost in our minds and the health and wellbeing of everyone in the industry, the difficult decision has been taken to delay the show until early next year. We have made the responsible decision to postpone the show, not by six weeks, but six months, taking us into the Spring of 2021 to make sure that we are all as safe as we can be. To proceed, we believe, would have placed exhibitors and visitors at risk, even with the most stringent controls, especially coming into central London.
We are currently working on securing new dates in the Spring of 2021 and will advise once they have been decided.
We are truly saddened that this decision has had to be made but for the sake of our loyal exhibitors and visitors who invest so much in the show, we feel it is the right choice.
We totally appreciate that you have other things on your mind right now, it has been a difficult time for all of us, but please rest assured that we will continue to do all we can to make the LANDSCAPE Show the very best it can be for all of us. Your expectations are important to us, as is your safety and wellbeing and that of the visitors too.
As restrictions become less intrusive we will endeavour to create some new events in the months before the show to provide exclusive networking opportunities and will of course keep you up to speed. It is an important time for the industry and we must continue to support each other wherever we can.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and know that by working together through these difficult times we can help the industry get back to where it should be.
We will meet again, and look forward to seeing you at the LANDSCAPE Show next Spring, if not before.
With my very best wishes,
Jeremy Storey-Walker
Event Director
