Architects and designers are rapidly reserving places at the special CPD-approved event for them at the Natural Stone Show taking place at ExCeL London 30 April to 2 May – and if the snow hasn’t gone by then, getting to ExCeL will be the least of our problems.

Click here to book a place at the Architects’ and Designers’ Day, with lunch provided at one of ExCeL’s restaurant’s courtesy of stone treatment company Fila. It is FREE for bone fide architects and designers.

The day will be hosted by Vincent Marazita, one of the world’s leading international stone consultants who taught in the Architectural Department at the University of Genoa for six years and is the head course tutor for the international architectural conference, Designing with Stone, held annually in Verona.
