If you haven’t yet marked GroundsFest in your diary, now is the time. Taking place on 16–17 September at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, GroundsFest has quickly established itself as the UK's must-attend event for landscaping professionals.
What makes GroundsFest different is its unique combination of live demonstrations, hands-on experiences, practical education and unrivalled networking. Designed around the real needs of the industry, it brings together everything landscapers need to stay ahead, whether you're growing your business, investing in new equipment, developing your team or looking for fresh ideas.
One of the biggest attractions is the opportunity to get up close to the latest machinery and equipment in a real outdoor environment. Rather than simply looking at products, visitors can watch live demonstrations, compare equipment side by side and experience the latest innovations for themselves. It's the perfect opportunity to speak directly with manufacturers, ask technical questions, understand the differences between products and make informed purchasing decisions based on real-world performance.
With hundreds of leading brands exhibiting across both indoor and outdoor areas, GroundsFest showcases everything from landscaping equipment, compact machinery and battery-powered technology through to tools, irrigation, planting solutions, materials and business services. Whatever your role within the landscaping sector, you'll find products, innovations and ideas that can make a genuine difference to the way you work.
A major feature for 2026 is the dedicated Landscape Zone, delivered in partnership with the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI). As one of the show's key partners, BALI will have a significant presence throughout the event, helping to create a hub specifically tailored to landscaping professionals.
Education remains another cornerstone of GroundsFest. Visitors can attend an extensive programme of free seminars, panel discussions and practical sessions led by respected industry experts. Covering everything from technical skills and best practice to business growth, sustainability, recruitment and future industry trends, every session is designed to provide practical knowledge that can be applied immediately back in the workplace.
Beyond the machinery and education, GroundsFest is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere. It's a show built around people as much as products, creating countless opportunities to network, exchange ideas and build valuable relationships with contractors, suppliers, manufacturers and industry colleagues. Whether you're reconnecting with familiar faces or making new contacts, GroundsFest provides an environment where conversations happen naturally.
And the experience doesn't end when the exhibition closes. GroundsFest's hugely popular Live Music Festival gives visitors the chance to relax, socialise and continue the conversations in a fun, informal setting. Enjoy live music, great food and drink, and a host of entertainment including free bumper cars and interactive games, all included as part of your GroundsFest experience.
If you want to see the latest equipment in action, try new technology for yourself, learn from industry experts, connect with the people shaping the future of landscaping and enjoy an event unlike any other in the industry, GroundsFest 2026 is one you simply can't afford to miss.
