Hosted at the NAEC Stoneleigh in Warwickshire, on 9 and 10 September, GroundsFest connects grounds managers, contractors, exhibitors, and suppliers in an unmissable B2B expo. As one of the UK’s most anticipated grounds care trade shows, GroundsFest showcases the latest in grounds maintenance, landscaping supplies, and grounds care cutting-edge equipment.
For those involved in commercial grounds maintenance, golf course or sports grounds management, GroundsFest is a one-stop event for innovation, networking, and staying ahead of the curve.
Alongside the exhibition, visitors can take advantage of expert-led seminars and engaging talks covering essential topics in grounds management, practical demonstrations, and emerging trends.

Hosting the GroundsFest Cup for lawnmower racing is just one more way that GroundsFest continues to break the mould and deliver something truly different to any other trade event.
This is no gentle ride around the garden. These are specially modified racing mowers, stripped of their blades but supercharged with adrenaline, skill, and competitive spirit. Expect high speeds, roaring engines, tight turns, and a field of elite riders battling it out on a custom-built track in front of a live crowd.
Organised by the West Midlands Lawn Mower Racing Association, some of the UK’s most experienced lawn mower racers will be competing for glory and the honour of becoming the first ever winner of The GroundsFest Cup. It’s fast. It’s furious. It’s fiercely competitive – but above all, it’s seriously good fun.
And there’s more to it than just the thrill of the race. GroundsFest visitors will get to see a range of lawn mower brands in action, used and pushed to their limits by the pros. It’s a unique chance to witness these machines in a whole new light — not just as tools of the trade, but as vehicles of pure entertainment.
Lawn mower racing is guaranteed to turn heads and create excitement. Who will take the chequered flag? Register for FREE tickets to Groundsfest on 9 and 10 September at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, to find out.
