GROUNDSFEST 2026
WHERE THE LANDSCAPING INDUSTRY COMES TOGETHER
For landscaping professionals looking to discover new products, improve efficiency and keep ahead of industry developments, GroundsFest 2026 offers two days of practical inspiration, innovation and networking. Taking place at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, on 16 – 17 September, the event brings together leading brands, manufacturers, contractors and industry experts from across the landscaping sector.
GroundsFest combines the traditional trade show experience with extensive outdoor demonstration areas, giving visitors the opportunity to see machinery and equipment working in realworld conditions. Rather than simply viewing products on a stand, visitors can compare machines and technologies, watch live demonstrations and speak directly to the people behind the products. More than 500 brands will be represented across the event, covering everything from landscaping machinery, compact equipment and battery-powered technology to irrigation, tools, planting solutions, hard landscaping products and business services. For contractors, business owners and those responsible for purchasing, it provides an opportunity to investigate new products, meet suppliers and find practical solutions to improve productivity and profitability.
A key attraction for landscaping professionals will be the dedicated Landscape Zone, delivered in partnership with the British Association of Landscape Industries( BALI). The zone will provide a programme of free seminars and demonstrations covering subjects
The event’ s community atmosphere is another major part of its appeal. GroundsFest provides a relaxed environment to meet manufacturers, catch up with suppliers, network with fellow contractors and make new business connections. The popular lawn mower racing adds an entertaining competitive element, while the GroundsFest Festival keeps the atmosphere going after the exhibition closes, with live music, food and drink, bumper cars and interactive games. By popular demand, a Queen tribute band will headline this year’ s festival. GroundsFest is free to attend and offers free parking, while complimentary coach transfers will run between Leamington Spa railway station and Stoneleigh Park throughout both days.
With live demonstrations, expert education, hundreds of brands and plenty of opportunities to connect with the industry, GroundsFest 2026 offers a fresh and practical approach to the trade show experience.
