About
On Tuesday 11 November 2025, the long‑running Historic Buildings, Parks & Gardens Event (HBPGE) returns to the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster, London (SW1P 3EE). Running from 9 am to 5 pm, this flagship one‑day expo continues its tradition alongside the Historic Houses Annual General Meeting. Organised by Hall‑McCartney Ltd, the event offers free entry to professionals and enthusiasts in conservation, heritage, landscape, and historic architecture (hbpge.hall-mccartney.co.uk). A Heritage Hub for All Expert-led Programmes and Practical Demos 2024 Highlights and Record Attendance How to Attend
Celebrating over 35 years, HBPGE serves a diverse audience: owners and guardians of historic properties, volunteers, landscape professionals, architects, surveyors, and conservation experts (thegardenstrust.org). Visitors can explore more than 70 exhibition stands, showcasing services and products focused on the conservation, restoration, and maintenance of historic buildings, parks, gardens, and landscapes.
The event features live demonstrations and expert talks throughout the day—ranging from traditional craft techniques to cutting‑edge research in heritage conservation (gardenerscompany.org.uk). In past years, sessions have covered conservation planning, archival restoration, SPAB advice, and technical innovations such as 3D‑scanning for architectural paint research (icon.org.uk). Visitors also receive a full 100‑page Programme & Guide to navigate these talks and demonstrations.
The 2024 edition—held on 12 November 2024—was a standout year, with over 1,200 visitors and a record number of exhibitors rebooking. Attendees enjoyed exhibitions, celebrations tied to Historic Houses’ 50th anniversary, and practical advice sessions from institutions such as SPAB and Historic England. Organisers are aiming to build on this momentum in 2025 (thegardenstrust.org).
Participation is free, but pre‑registration is encouraged via the official website using code “PR”. Whether you're an industry professional or a volunteer steward of heritage sites, HBPGE offers insights, connections, and inspiration for all involved in the stewardship of our built and landscaped heritage.
