A packed schedule of live machinery demonstrations, driving experiences and business-focused talks will run alongside exhibitor halls representing a cross section of products and services for farmers at the new-look Midlands Machinery Show.  

Visitors can now register at www.midlandsmachineryshow.com for free tickets, and exhibitors can reserve their stand space ahead of the show at the Newark Showground on Wednesday 19 November. 

Now in its eleventh year, the show's organisers have designed a one-day format, creating 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."

Over the past decade the Midlands Machinery Show has attracted visitors from the Midlands and beyond, with many travelling 100 miles or more to attend. It is the ideal platform for agricultural businesses to showcase a diverse range of new products, services, machinery, industry innovations and the latest technology to farmers, machinery operators and farm contractors in agriculture.

This year show-goers will be able to learn about a range of products and topics to take back to their businesses, as well as topping up on much-needed BASIS and NRoSO points at the end of a busy year.  

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 major 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 popular features such as the 4x4 driving course and a packed programme in the demonstration ring, while also taking the opportunity to catch up with colleagues and friends during a quieter time of the farming year. New for 2025 is a UTV driving experience to test out the latest all-terrain machines. 

Simon added: "What makes the Midlands Machinery Show special is not just the diversity of exhibitors, but also the atmosphere. It's a valuable social event, giving people the chance to catch up with contacts and friends, while also delivering strong business benefits. We're confident this new format will make the show more vibrant and productive for both visitors and exhibitors."

Long-standing supporters of the show are once again confirming their attendance, with many exhibitors having been part of the event since 2014.
