Golf Greenkeepers Association has confirmed that its first Festival of Turf will take place this summer , with a new date intended to provide an improved experience for attendees and exhibitors .
The Festival of Turf is a two-day event that will take place in the predominantly outdoor setting of the Warwickshire Event Centre and will bring together golf greenkeepers , groundsmen and many others for the first time since BTME 2020 , over 18 months previously .
BIGGA had initially announced a June date for the Festival of Turf and was confident event could be hosted with COVID-safety measures in place . But with the Prime Minister recently announcing the Roadmap out of lockdown , BIGGA has explored the opportunity of rescheduling the Festival of Turf for later in the summer , when social distancing restrictions are anticipated to have been removed .
As such , BIGGA is delighted to reveal that the Festival of Turf will now take place on 21 & 22 July 2021 .
The Festival of Turf will welcome BIGGA members and others in the turf industry to the 30-acre Warwickshire Event Centre , with a wide range of vendors and trade stalls and entertaining twists that bring to life the ‘ festival ’ element of the event .
COVID-safety measures will remain in place , such as enhanced cleaning regimes and hand sanitising , plus any other requirements as defined by government guidelines . However , limits on visitor numbers and social distancing measures will no longer be required .
