Why Education Site Managers & Outdoor Teams Should Attend GroundsFest
For those responsible for the upkeep of school, college, or university grounds, GroundsFest is the one-stop event for discovering equipment, services, and support tailored to the education sector.
GroundsFest is designed for professionals managing outdoor spaces across the academic calendar — from playing fields and sports surfaces to gardens, pathways, and public areas.
Built Around the Realities of Education Environments
In education settings, outdoor spaces must be safe, functional, and presentable – often with tight budgets and limited downtime for major works. Whether you manage a single school site or a large campus, you need reliable tools, machines, and suppliers you can count on.
GroundsFest brings together all these elements in one place – making it easier to compare options, speak directly to providers, and explore solutions suited to term-time pressures and varied site needs.
Discover Equipment & Services that Support Your Whole Site
The show features a wide range of professional products and solutions ideal for education settings, including:
- Mowers, strimmers, and handtools for everyday upkeep
- Turf care and synthetic surface maintenance machinery
- Irrigation and drainage systems
- Fencing, security and safety equipment
- Landscaping tools, materials and design solutions
- Compact tractors, trailers, and utility vehicles
- Playground equipment & street furniture
- Online planning and management systems
- Weed and pest control products
- Battery-powered and low-noise equipment for term-time use
With live demonstrations and hands-on access, you can test what works for your site – and speak to people who understand education-specific requirements.
