Midlands Machinery Show 2026 statement ⬇️

The Midlands Machinery Show delivered another strong outing in November this year, with exhibitors and visitors once again turning out in force at Newark Showground as we switched to a one-day format, proving that we can adapt quickly to deliver the best experience for exhibitors and visitors.

However, while the appetite for the show is still strong, after taking on board the views of exhibitors, visitors and our Show Advisory Committee, it is clear that sentiment across the industry is shifting.

As a result, we feel the event would be best served by taking a rest year in 2026, and returning when the farming industry has more clarity about its future, and renewed confidence to invest.

A break now gives the show the best chance of coming back stronger with the goal of delivering an even better event for visitors, and an improved return on investment for our exhibitors.

We are grateful for the continued support from manufacturers, dealers, farmers and the wider industry, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
