Spring’s here, summer’s not far off, which means one thing. Trade show season is back.
Last year was a cracking one. We met loads of you, had some proper good chats, and it was great putting faces to names. Whether you came over because you know the kit or just fancied a look, it didn’t go unnoticed.
We’re heading out again this year and looking forward to doing it all over again. More shows, more conversations, and a few new things to bring along with us.
Take a look at where we’ll be this summer. If you’re nearby, come and say hello.
1. Royal Highland Show: 18th – 21nd
Next up on our summer circuit is the Royal Highland Show, held at the Royal Highland Centre in Newbridge.
First staged in 1822, this iconic event has grown into the flagship showcase of Scottish agriculture, organised by the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland. We’re thrilled to be part of the celebration alongside 800 other trade exhibitors.
One of the real highlights? The much-loved Grand Parade. Taking place every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon, this crowd favourite brings the Grandstand to life as prize-winning cattle take centre stage in the Main Ring. It’s a breathtaking tradition and an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
2. Great Yorkshire Show: 14th – 17th July
Held at the iconic Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate, the 2026 Great Yorkshire Show promises plenty to see and do this July.
Over 140,000 visitors explored the bustling trade stands and live farming demos, with 95% of attendees recommending the event to others – proof it’s a must-visit on the summer show calendar.
3. Royal Welsh Show: 21st – 24th July
In July, we’ll be making our way to the Royal Welsh Showground in Powys for the 122st Royal Welsh Show.
This four-day spectacular is packed with everything from forestry, horticulture, crafts, and countryside sports to shopping, food and drink, plus a 12-hour daily programme of top-tier entertainment and displays.
Whether you’re exploring the natural wonders of rural life, indulging in artisan treats, or soaking up the showground atmosphere, the Royal Welsh promises an unforgettable experience for all ages.
4. AFP Show: 24th – 26th July
APF 2026 marks the show’s Golden Anniversary, celebrating 50 years since the first APF event in 1976. It takes place at Ragley Estate, Warwickshire.
The show is the UK’s largest event for forestry, woodland, arboriculture, fencing, firewood and timber. It brings together hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of trade visitors from across the industry.
Visitors can expect live machinery demos, practical workshops, woodland crafts and specialist zones for forestry and arboriculture. There will also be major competitions, including tree climbing, chainsaw carving, pole climbing and fencing championships.
APF 2026 is set to be a huge event for anyone working with trees, timber, land or machinery. If you’re in the industry, it’s well worth putting the dates in the diary.
