Grassland UK, the triennial event covering grass production, is due to return to Somerset on 6 May, boasting an array of working machinery demonstrations and practical seminars.
The event has relocated to the main Bath & West Showground, which the organisers say will offer easier access and better facilities, helping visitors to stay Covid secure. “Being outdoors, we are confident that we will be able to operate within Government guidelines, enabling farmers to finally attend a physical event after over a year of restrictions,” said Alan Lyons, head of shows at the Royal Bath & West Society.
The event team have overseeded 60 acres, on which equipment including mowers, tedders, balers and forage harvesters will be demonstrated. There are also 15 trial plots, showcasing the latest grass varieties, and a technical seminar programme.
“Being located on the main show site means that the event will be far easier to navigate, with trial plots in the centre and trade stands around the entire circular route,” said Alan. “This will make it easier for visitors and exhibitors to socially distance, and permanent facilities on-site including multiple toilet blocks and a restaurant will make for a more comfortable day all round.
“Demand for trade stands is really strong, as businesses are keen to get back to physical events after a year off."
Tickets for the event are now on sale, with advance tickets discounted to £15 for students and £17 for adults. Should the event have to be cancelled due to Covid restrictions, full refunds will be given.
