Festival of Turf
Warwickshire Event Centre 21 & 22 July 2021
This summer, we’re inviting BIGGA members to get involved with a new event that will bring together the greenkeeping and turf management industry for two days of innovation, exhibition and entertainment.
The Festival of Turf is a two-day event that will take place in the predominantly outdoor setting of the Warwickshire Event Centre on 21 & 22 July 2021 and will bring together golf greenkeepers, groundsmen and many others in a COVID-19 safe setting.
There will be two full exhibition days with a wide range of trade stalls and opportunities to meet with vendors, alongside a couple of entertaining twists that bring to life the ‘festival’ element of the event and add some much-needed light relief after a difficult 2020 for everyone.
