Following its inaugural edition in 2023, the Scots Turf Show is returning to Hamilton Park Racecourse, with organisers promising an expanded exhibitor list and more education opportunities.

The second staging will take place on 6th March 2024 at Hamilton Park Racecourse, featuring exhibitors including Campey Turf Care, AllGrass, Dennis, SIS Pitches and John Deere.

The show says that one of the most notable enhancements for 2024 is the increase in exhibitors from an initial 16 to 50 this year. 

Alongside fellow Scots Turf founding committee member Alan Thomson, sales manager SIS Pitches, Campey product specialist Richard Heywood, says he has worked hard to bring this event to Scotland and is excited to see its early success and where it can go in the future.

"The Scots Turf Show was designed to bring the trade to the Scottish turf community, and it has quickly done that with a lot of success,” Richard said.

"Whilst it is primarily for Scotland, it's an event that is open to everyone, and I think the developments we're making demonstrates the show’s progress.

"As we enter our second year, the increased number of exhibitors reflects the growing importance of this event in the industry, and we're already excited for our advancements in 2025, where we will increase the area for indoor exhibitors."

Richard says the event brings together professionals, suppliers, and enthusiasts from various corners of turf management and provides a valuable opportunity for the grounds community in Scotland.

Feedback from the previous year has been taken onboard about the seminar programme, and the Show will again strive to provide relevant, valuable and comprehensive educational opportunities to those attending.

Registration is free via Eventbrite, with the first 500 guests receiving a bacon sandwich and tea/coffee on arrival.
