FTMTA Farm Machinery Show 2017

Following the great success of the recent FTMTA Grass & Muck event, the association has already received many requests from potential exhibitors for information regarding its next public farm machinery event.

Ireland’s premier farm machinery event, the biennial FTMTA Farm Machinery Show, will return to Punchestown Racecourse near Naas on 9, 10 and 11 February 2017. The show will continue the highly successful Thursday, Friday and Saturday format of recent years.

The FTMTA Farm Machinery Show is Ireland’s largest dedicated farm machinery event and is also the largest indoor agricultural event in Ireland, attracting some 18,750 visitors in 2015.

The exhibitor application pack for the show will be issued at the end of August and will automatically be sent to all exhibitors at the most recent FTMTA events.

Any firm which did not exhibit at an FTMTA event in 2015 or 2016, but which is interested in exhibiting at next year’s show, should contact FTMTA on admin@ftmta.ie or at 045-409 309 to be included in the circulation of the exhibitor pack.

In keeping with the association’s ethos, for both FTMTA Grass & Muck and the FTMTA Farm Machinery Show, only stands from genuinely agricultural-focused businesses will be accepted.
