Uxbridge Rock Show

Uxbridge Rock Show ---> Harrow Rock Show
Due to the relocation of Uxbridge Library to smaller premises, our last Uxbridge Rock Show was held in 2024. The new library does not have an exhibition space that could host our Rock Show and we continue to look for alternative venues.
The Harrow Rock Show was held at Headstone Manor Museum from October - December 2025, opened by the Mayor of Harrow, Cllr Anjana Patel. Hands-on sessions held across half-term attracted 100 visitors per day, making this one of our most successful exhibitions to date. School visits were not possible, but we hope to hold some at Headstone Manor Granary in future.
