Stoneleigh Park, 9-10 September 2025

GroundsFest returns to Stoneleigh Park on 9-10 September 2025, and it’s set to be bigger, bolder, and more action-packed than ever. Registration is open - and it’s completely free.


Now in its third year, GroundsFest has quickly established itself as one of the most exciting and innovative events in the groundscare and landscaping calendar. It’s not just a trade show - it’s a hands-on, high-energy experience that blends live demonstrations, cutting-edge product showcases, CPD-accredited learning, and after-hours entertainment.


See and try the latest machinery in real conditions

 


One of GroundsFest’s biggest draws is its unrivalled outdoor demonstration areas. Here, visitors can test drive, trial, and compare a wide range of machinery and equipment in the conditions they were built for - from mowing and mulching to digging, lifting, and building.


Indoor halls packed with innovation


Inside, the exhibition halls are home to leading brands unveiling their latest products, technologies, and solutions. From exclusive launches to expert-led advice, it’s the perfect place to find new ideas and connect with industry suppliers.


Live action and entertainment

 


Back by popular demand, Machinery Nation LIVE brings a thrilling mix of brand battles and high-octane challenges, running three times a day. This year also sees the debut of Lawn Mower Racing – The GroundsFest Cup, in partnership with Kramp UK, where professional racers will battle it out on custom-built machines.


Learn from the experts

 


GroundsFest’s free CPD-accredited seminar programme covers the industry’s most pressing topics, offering practical takeaways for everyone from apprentices to managers. The dedicated Landscape Zone, in partnership with BALI, is a hub for green innovation, featuring the latest in outdoor design, sustainable solutions, and technology.


A festival vibe like no other

 


When the show floor closes on day one, the GroundsFest Live Music Festival kicks in. Enjoy street food, live performances from Definitely Mightbe (the world’s best Oasis tribute band), Elevate, and a live DJ - plus free bumper cars.


GroundsFest is more than an event - it’s a celebration of the people, products, and passion that drive this industry forward.
