More Action. More Machines. More Machinery Nation LIVE

One of the biggest crowd-pullers at GroundsFest is back for 2026, and it’s set to be louder, bigger and more action-packed than ever before.

More Action. More Machines. More Machinery Nation LIVE

Machinery Nation LIVE is back on 16 and 17 September at Stoneleigh Park with an expanded programme of demonstrations, challenges and interactive experiences that promise to be one of the biggest attractions at the show.

Throughout both days, visitors can experience an action-packed schedule featuring live machinery demonstrations, thrilling chainsaw relays involving some of the world’s leading brands, tractor and loader challenges, and an exciting ATV and UTV course. It’s the perfect opportunity to see the latest machinery performing in real working conditions while enjoying the energetic, entertaining presentation style that Machinery Nation has become renowned for.

Visitors will also have the chance to get up close to the latest equipment, speak to industry experts, compare machines side by side and even pick up exclusive giveaways from some of their favourite brands.

Christopher Bassett, Event Director of GroundsFest, said:

“Machinery Nation LIVE has been a huge success at GroundsFest over the past couple of years. It creates an incredible atmosphere and attracts huge crowds, combining genuine product demonstrations with entertainment that keeps visitors coming back.

“We’re delighted to welcome the team back for 2026. They’ve got even more planned this year, making it bigger, more exciting and packed with even more action. It’s another fantastic reason for visitors to register for GroundsFest.”

Machinery Nation’s engaging presenters will once again bring every demonstration to life, offering expert insight, honest opinions and plenty of entertainment as they put a wide range of machinery through its paces.

The return of Machinery Nation LIVE perfectly complements GroundsFest’s unique hands-on format, giving visitors the opportunity to not only watch equipment in action but also test machinery for themselves across the show’s extensive outdoor demonstration areas.

Alongside Machinery Nation LIVE, GroundsFest 2026 will feature more than 500 leading brands, free CPD-accredited education, the popular Lawn Mower Racing sponsored by Kramp UK, the live music festival, and a host of other interactive attractions.

With free entry, free parking and complimentary coach transfers from Leamington Spa railway station, GroundsFest continues to offer an unrivalled experience for professionals and volunteers working across the grounds management, landscaping, local authority, sports turf and amenity sectors.

Suståne to showcase solutions for more resilient surfaces at GroundsFest

Visitors to GroundsFest 2026 looking for sustainable nutrition and plant health solutions will find all the answers with a stop by Suståne Natural Fertilisers on stand 44. This year, the focus will be on two products designed to deliver long-lasting performance across amenity and landscape turf: Suståne 18-1-8+Fe and Bolster Liquid Plant Biostimulant.

18-1-8+Fe combines controlled release fertiliser technology with Suståne’s natural organic compost base to provide up to 16 weeks of consistent nutrition and support long-term soil health. The formulation features three slow-release nitrogen sources and one quick-release form to deliver a steady supply of nutrients without the flush of growth sometimes associated with conventional fertilisers.

This even, controlled growth makes Suståne 18-1-8+Fe ideal for golf courses, sports turf, parks, lawns and amenity landscapes – creating turf with excellent colour and reliable performance. Its near-neutral pH, low salt index and low ammonium content also make it exceptionally safe to use, helping to minimise the risk of scorch while supporting beneficial soil biology through the addition of stable organic matter and humates.

Complementing the granular fertiliser is Bolster Liquid Plant Biostimulant – a product specifically formulated to help turf and ornamental plants cope with environmental stress. Containing 5% chelated iron, 4% humic acid and 2% seaweed extract, Bolster is designed to enhance root development, improve chlorophyll production and strengthen plants against drought, temperature extremes, poor soils and other environmental challenges.

Proven to improve root mass and depth, moisture retention and overall plant resilience, Bolster can also be tank-mixed with most fertilisers making it easy to integrate into the maintenance programmes of grounds professionals managing sports facilities, public green spaces and landscaped areas.

The Suståne team will be on hand throughout GroundsFest to offer practical technical advice and tailored recommendations whether your objective is to improve soil health, overcome environmental stresses or develop a more sustainable programme to achieve healthier, more resilient surfaces.
