Golf Business News – Innovation and Learning at the Center Stage at GroundsFest 2025
The GroundScare industry from across the UK brings together at GroundSfest in 2025 to attract more than 9,000 visitors during a two-day show at Stoneley Park in Warwickshire.
The event was first launched in 2023, and the third renewal of the event offers hundreds of brands, cutting-edge product launches, and community spirit as professionals and volunteers from all corners of the landscaping, amenities, sports Steulf and landscape industry.
From world-first product launches to interactive demonstrations, GroundSfest once again proves itself as the home of forward-looking solutions. Visitors are one of the first to experience equipment and technologies that have never been seen before, which are shaping the future of the industry.

Over 30 hours of free education in five seminar theatres, top speakers provide attendees with valuable insights and CPD points. The landscape area in partnership with Bali is busier than in 2024 and has packaged educational courses in design, planning and outdoor construction. Many workshops became the key points of conversation throughout the hall, triggering new conversations and new collaborations.
The characteristic fields continue to flourish and expand. Machinery Nation Live attracts viewers with its “past, present and future” display cabinets, including brands like Stihl, Ego, Milwaukee and Dewalt as well as rare vintage models. Visitors also like the independent lawnmower head-to-head challenge and mechanical relay of adrenaline fuel.
Lawn Mower Racing made its debut in partnership with Kramp UK and West Midland Lawn Mower Association, which proved to be a huge crowd. Visitors also have the opportunity to win prizes, from robotic lawn mowers to quality hand tools, adding extra excitement to the show.
GroundSfest’s unique blend of trade shows and festive atmosphere makes it unique again. Live music festivals return bigger and better yet, food, drinks, free bumper cars, while the Oasis Tribute band offers scenes that resonate with attendees.
Christopher Bassett, Director of Events at GroundSfest, said: “This show will be impossible without the support of our incredible exhibitors, visitors and partners. We are really humble and we will continue to reinvest from GroundSfest through GroundSfest to the industry through GroundSfest Academy.
GroundSfest will return to Stoneley Park from September 16-17, 2026.
