Organisers of the new-look Midlands Machinery Show have promised live machinery demonstrations, driving experiences and business-focused talks will run alongside exhibitor halls at the event that will take place at the Newark Showground on Wednesday 19 November.

Now in its eleventh year, the show’s organisers have designed a one-day format, which they say will create an environment for time-pressured visitors to "make connections, see products first hand, and get the inside line on the issues currently affecting farming."

The Newark & Nottinghamshire Agricultural Society (NNAS) organises the event in order to support its charitable objectives to promote, celebrate and champion agriculture across the Midlands region.

NNAS CEO Simon Eccleston said, “With our new format we have had the opportunity to create an event which really focuses in on what farmers want. It’s a chance to speak to experts and see the new product innovations that are coming to market while retaining that social and networking aspect to the show that we know is hugely valued.

“We are anticipating the traditional two days’ footfall will be condensed into the one-day format, and we want visitors to attend to see the full breadth of what the show has to offer.”

Farmers will be able to meet major machinery dealers, parts suppliers and engineering specialists, while also connecting with business consultants, service providers across energy, construction and water, and innovative agri-tech companies shaping the sector’s future.

A highlight of the 2025 event will be the NFU’s Environment Conference, which will share insights on the issues of the day, and update attendees on key areas of agricultural policy.

Alongside the exhibition halls, visitors can enjoy a range of features such as the 4x4 driving course and a programme in the demonstration ring. New for 2025 is a UTV driving experience to test out the latest all-terrain machines.
